ROI & Automation FAQ
What is the ROI of an MES?
Usually 3-6 months based on labor savings alone. When you account for downtime reduction and improved quality, many factories see payback in weeks.
How much does manual data entry cost?
Typically $2k–$5k per machine annually in labor. This represents a massive opportunity to shift labor toward higher-value production tasks.
Can mobile apps replace Excel?
Absolutely. Modern MES platforms like MikroMES use mobile-first inputs that feed data directly to dashboards, eliminating the need for manual aggregation entirely.
