Free AMR & warehouse automation economics tool
Warehouse Robotics ROI Calculator
Price robots or AMRs against pick labor, throughput, errors and operating cost — while separating theoretical labor hours saved from the savings your operation can actually convert into cash.

Labor-capture logicTheoretical labor hours saved are not treated as automatic cash savings. Only the entered cash-capture percentage is monetized as payroll, overtime or agency-spend reduction. The remaining saved hours are reported as redeployable capacity.

Six warehouse zones / processes
Zone-sizing logicRequired robots are calculated from each zone's eligible daily picks, effective robot handling rate, operating window and target utilization. Labor ROI is calculated separately from robot-capacity sizing so an apparently attractive labor case cannot hide an undersized robot fleet.

Scope
Throughput math is not a vendor guarantee
This is a financial planning and capacity-screening model. Actual AMR or robotics performance depends on travel paths, SKU mix, congestion, replenishment, charging strategy, WMS/WES integration, ergonomics, safety controls, uptime and process design. The model does not certify robot fleet size, technical feasibility or headcount elimination. Validate throughput and integration assumptions with site data and the automation provider.
