Scenario
Direct annual savings · Y2+
—
—
Recurring labor cost displaced by autonomous patrol, after CAPEX recovery.
Payback period
—
—
Time to recover upfront robot CAPEX from monthly labor savings.
5-year ROI
—
—
Cumulative net savings / initial capital outlay (incl. wage inflation).
Net 5-year benefit
—
—
Total cash savings over 5 years, inflation-adjusted on the labor side.
Cumulative cost — break-even curve
Months 0–60. Robot line begins at CAPEX, then flattens to license-only.
Break-even
—
Robot delivers continuous 24/7 coverage without shift overhead, vacation cover, or wage drift.
Annual cost comparison · 5 years
Year 1 robot bar includes CAPEX. Subsequent years are license-only. Human cost compounds with wage inflation.
After payback, savings compound significantly. Wage inflation widens the gap year over year.
Cumulative ROI progression
Return on invested capital, year by year.
Labor cost is the primary ROI driver — robot economics improve linearly with hours of coverage.
Year-by-year breakdown
| Year | Human cost | Robot cost | Annual savings | Cum. savings | ROI |

Conservative model — additional upside not modeled
- Incident-prevention & loss-reduction value
- Insurance premium reductions
- Recruitment, onboarding & turnover cost
- Uniforms, equipment & vehicle overhead
- Supervisor & HR management overhead
- Continuous data & thermal/AI analytics output
All factors above typically further favor robotic patrol over the modelled labor displacement alone.
