What does manual
inspection cost you?

Put your own numbers in. The calculator works out the labour hours currently spent on visual inspection, what an automated lane returns, and how long the system takes to pay for itself.

A full walk-around typically takes 5 to 20 minutes depending on depth.
Include salary, benefits and overhead — not just the wage.
Default is the indicative DAP air freight to a GCC airport, about USD 10,000.
The manufacturer states an 80% labour-cost reduction. Lower it if you want a more conservative case.
Optional. Left at zero so the result rests on labour alone.

Indicative only. Labour reduction and detection figures are manufacturer-stated; freight is an indication that moves with fuel, capacity and season. Prices are EXW Shanghai, exclusive of duty and taxes. Nothing here is a quotation.

Validate this with us — free

Free of charge

We validate your business case on site, at our cost.

A calculator uses your estimates. Before anyone signs anything, we come to your site for a first one-to-one session and replace those estimates with measured figures — your actual cycle time, your actual vehicle mix, your actual lane layout. There is no charge and no obligation for that first meeting.

You leave the session with a deployment model built on your numbers, whether or not you buy anything.

Method

How the calculation works.

Where the labour figure comes from

Vehicles per day × minutes per inspection × operating days gives annual inspection hours. Multiplied by your fully loaded hourly cost, that is what visual inspection costs you in labour today.

Why 80% and not 100%

Automation removes the walk-around, not the operator. Someone still reviews flagged findings and handles exceptions. The 80% reduction is the manufacturer’s stated figure; the field is editable so you can model a more conservative case.

What is deliberately left out

Detection quality improves — the manufacturer states a 25% higher damage identification rate — which normally converts into recovered damage costs and fewer disputes. That is not counted unless you enter a figure yourself, because it depends entirely on your contracts and current recovery rate.

What is not included

Duty, VAT, local electrical work, annual service and any integration effort on your side. Those are quantified in the quotation, not here.
