Potential saving divided by Machine Analyser cost. Based on a conservative 25% downtime reduction — European predictive maintenance benchmark (Data Bridge, 2024).

The Real Comparison

Less than a cup of coffee per machine, per day.
Compared to what one breakdown costs.

The numbers aren't close. The question isn't whether Machine Analyser pays for itself - it's how quickly.

One Hour of Unplanned Downtime
£40,000
Lost output, wasted labour, emergency parts and missed deliveries - from a single unplanned stop. FMCG benchmark (Siemens, 2024).
vs
Machine Analyser - One Year, One Line
~£1,460
From £4 per machine per day at entry level. A 3-machine line costs ~£12/day. No CapEx. No hardware. Cancel anytime.
How This Is Calculated

Conservative assumptions. Real benchmarks.

Every figure in this calculator is based on published industry research or your own inputs. We've deliberately used conservative estimates - your actual savings are likely higher.

Downtime Reduction
25–30% reduction used
Full adoption of condition monitoring delivers up to 40% maintenance cost reduction. We use the lower end of the range. Source: Data Bridge Market Research, 2024.
Downtime Cost Benchmark
£40,000/hr for FMCG
The cost per hour of unplanned downtime in FMCG. Your slider defaults to £20,000 - well below the benchmark. Enter your actual figure for a more precise result. Source: Siemens True Cost of Downtime, 2024.
Machine Analyser Cost
£4 per machine, per day
Pricing is per machine, per day. A production line can consist of one machine or many - each machine is priced individually at £4/day at entry level. A line of 3 machines costs ~£4,380/year.
