How is instrumentation ROI calculated?

ROI is calculated by comparing annual savings (from reduced water loss, energy savings, or accurate cost allocation) against the upfront project cost to determine a simple payback period.

What inputs do I need for the calculator?

Depending on the scenario, you'll need production volumes, current loss rates, energy costs, or building counts. Default values are provided based on industry benchmarks.

What is a typical payback period for instrumentation upgrades?

Most instrumentation projects achieve payback within 1-3 years through reduced water loss, energy savings, or improved cost allocation accuracy.
