Measure the loss
Establish how much time, rate or output is actually being lost and how often it repeats.
MANUFACTURING ROI
What is recovered production time worth?
Use a simple screening calculation to estimate the monthly value of productive time that could be recovered. The result is illustrative—not a promise of savings.
MAKE THE ECONOMICS VISIBLE
What is one recovered hour worth on your machine?
Use the calculator as a quick screening tool. ClearRivet does not need to recover much lost capacity to cover a typical single-machine subscription.
Illustrative only. Actual value depends on contribution margin, labour, overtime, constraints and whether the identified loss can be removed.
Potential monthly value$1,250
Monthly software cost$349
Break-even recovery1.4 hrs
Recovering about 1.4 productive hours per month would cover the $349 monthly software subscription. Connectivity hardware is excluded because the final requirement depends on the machine and site configuration.
USE ROI CAREFULLY
Visibility creates an opportunity—not automatic savings.
Remove a cause
Production monitoring identifies where to focus; the plant still needs to implement the improvement.
Verify the gain
Compare the post-change data with the original baseline and confirm that the result is sustained.
See it. Then prove it.
