ROI estimate

Change the numbers below to match your plant.

01Time saved → headcount

Hours no longer spent on manual tallies, chasing updates, and building reports and meeting packs.

Show the workingHide the working

Hours saved a week × people × weeks ÷ hours in a full-time year = FTE freed. FTE freed × cost per FTE = value a year.

3 h × 12 people × 48 weeks = 1,728 h a year

1,728 h ÷ 2,080 h = 0.8 FTE

1,728 h ÷ 2,080 h × $85,000 = $70,615

0.8 FTE freed$70,615 a year

02Productivity gain → recouped OEE losses

Good output won back from availability, performance and quality losses on the lines you run.

Value of one hour, at full rate: your margin on it, not its sales price, gives a stricter number.

OEE points: Line 4 in our examples runs 6.6 points under its 78.0% goal. The default takes back under a third of a gap like that.

Lines × planned hours per line × OEE points recovered ÷ 100 = hours of good output won back. Those hours × the value of one hour = value a year.

2 lines × 6,000 h × 2.0 points ÷ 100 = 240 h

240 h × $1,500 = $360,000

240 h of good output$360,000 a year

Estimated value a year$430,615

Time saved $70,615 + productivity $360,000

Only if you already have one. It turns the estimate into a payback time.

An estimate from the numbers above, not a quote or a promise. Results depend on the plant: its lines, its people and its data. Plant Toolbox does not guarantee any saving.

A quote built around your business.

We look at what your business needs and the size of your organization, then build your quote from the parts below. It comes in writing before you add a line, a shift or a module.

PartHow it is counted
Plants
Each plant that runs Plant Toolbox. You start with one line at one plant.
Modules
The modules each plant turns on. We suggest starting with the Core 4: Operations, Autonomous Maintenance, Action Planning and Loss Elimination.
Users
The people who sign in, from operators to the plant manager.
Integrations
Links to an ERP or LIMS. Each one is scoped with you before work starts.
AI usage
Only if you switch AI on. Metered against credits you control.

Deployment

What happens once your quote is agreed, in order, with the timing planned around your modules, users and devices.

Before go-live

  1. Step 1: Staging environment

    We set up a staging site where Plant Toolbox is configured and tested before anything goes live.

  2. Step 2: two steps at the same time

    • 2a Training

      Key-user training

      Your key users learn to run and manage Plant Toolbox, so they can shape the configuration with us.

    • 2b Data

      Data preparation

      Lines, products, standards and equipment lists are cleaned for loading. The spreadsheets you already keep are a fine start.

  3. Step 3: two steps at the same time

    • 3a Configuration

      Production environment configuration

      The live site is set up to match how your plant runs: lines, shifts, goals and boards.

    • 3b Data

      Initial data load (staging)

      Prepared data goes into staging first, so it is checked before it reaches the live site.

  4. Step 4: two steps at the same time

    • 4a Training

      End-user training

      Operators, leads and support teams learn the screens they will use on their shift.

    • 4b Data

      Additional data load (staging)

      The rest of the data goes into staging, with the fixes the first load showed.

  5. Step 5: Data load (production)

    Checked data moves from staging into the live site.

Go-live and after

  1. Step 6: Go-live

    Your team runs its shifts in Plant Toolbox. The last go-live task is a full shift your team runs on its own.

  2. Step 7: Hypercare

    Intensive support straight after go-live. Issues are picked up and fixed quickly while the first shifts run.

  3. Step 8: Ongoing support

    Support carries on in the Help Center: open a ticket from the screen you are on, and read release notes in the app.

Tell us which line you would start with.

Name the line, the shifts it runs and the number that keeps missing. We will show you what its next eight hours would look like in Plant Toolbox.
