Scattered tools, slow onboarding, information lost between shifts. The costs are real but rarely calculated. This calculator helps you estimate what a connected operator platform would save your operation. Adjust the inputs to match your environment. No email required.
Four categories. Two minutes. Conservative assumptions you can adjust. Every number is transparent. Expand any calculation to see the logic.
How much do slow ramp-ups cost when operators turn over?
Assumes 40% reduction in time-to-competence through structured learning paths and qualification-gated execution. Based on observed results across Maecos deployments.
new_hires = operators × turnover_rate
onboarding_cost = new_hires × (weeks × 0.5) × (annual_cost / 52)
× 0.5
savings = onboarding_cost × improvement_factor
What does your current toolstack actually cost versus one platform?
Compares current tooling spend against Maecos at €12.50/user/month (midpoint). Does not include implementation costs for either scenario. Negative savings are shown honestly.
current_cost = (tools × cost_per_user × operators × 12) +
(tools × admin_cost)
maecos_cost = operators × 12.50 × 12
savings = current_cost − maecos_cost
How much productive time is lost in unstructured handovers?
Assumes 50% reduction in handover duration through structured digital handover replacing verbal/paper-based processes.
events_per_year = lines × shifts × 365
current_hours = events × (minutes / 60) × operators_per_handover
hourly_cost = annual_cost / (52 × 40)
savings = current_hours × improvement_factor × hourly_cost
What share of your quality costs trace back to procedure gaps?
Assumes 50% reduction in procedure-related deviations through qualification-gated execution and automatic retraining on SOP changes. Only applies to training/procedure gaps, not equipment, supplier, or design issues.
preventable_cost = deviation_cost × gap_percentage
savings = preventable_cost × improvement_factor
These estimates are based on observed results across Maecos deployments. They are not guarantees. Your actual results depend on your current maturity, adoption quality, and operational context. We'd rather give you a conservative estimate you can defend than an aggressive one that falls apart in a budget meeting.
These are estimates. Want to know what the real numbers look like in your plant?
Structured learning paths reduce time-to-competence by 40–60%. New operators follow a defined journey, not whoever happens to be on shift.
See Training & Qualifications →Ten modules. One login. Replace checklists, LMS, DMS, issue tracking, and shift handover tools with a single platform.
See Platform Overview →Qualification-gated checklists. Automatic retraining on SOP changes. The loop closes. Deviations drop because the system enforces the standard.
How It Works →"We built the business case in 30 minutes using real numbers from our plant. The CFO approved the pilot the same week."
Paid pilot. Full platform access. Explicit success criteria. No multi-year commitment.
