Your Inputs & Assumptions
Methodology & Sources
1Industry Deployment Studies (2020) Published financial benchmarks for connected manufacturing use cases including AMR, collaborative robots, AR quality inspection, asset condition monitoring, and digital twin. Modelled baseline: $100M revenue, 500 employees, 10% gross profit, discrete automotive manufacturing, Western European context. Figures are indicative estimates from third-party research.
2Nokia & GlobalData (2023) Enterprise Private Network Survey. TCO reduction benchmarks: >50% of respondents reported OpEx-side TCO reduction >6%; ~33% reported >10% reduction.
3Manufacturing Institute & Deloitte (2019) Smart Factory Study. Survey evidence: 93% of manufacturers expect cost savings, 94% expect increased machine productivity, 93% expect increased workforce productivity from smart manufacturing investment.
4TeckNexus (2024–2025) Private Networks Intelligence — Manufacturing Vertical. Deployment evidence base for use case frequency and priority ranking across qualified manufacturing private network deployments globally. Use case selection and framing informed by this analysis.
5Scaling methodology: Benchmarks are expressed as % of factory revenue. This calculator applies the same % methodology, scaled to your entered revenue, adjusted for factory type, site type (brownfield/greenfield), and existing connectivity baseline. Brownfield high-complexity sites apply a 0.7× benefit realisation factor in years 1–2, rising to 1.0× by year 3. Greenfield sites apply 1.0× from year 1.
Important Disclaimer
This ROI model produces illustrative estimates based on published industry benchmarks and your self-reported inputs. It is provided for indicative planning purposes only.

This calculator does not constitute financial, investment, or procurement advice. Actual returns will vary significantly based on: factory-specific conditions and operating environment; quality of implementation and systems integration; vendor selection and contract terms; device and endpoint readiness; workforce adoption and change management; regulatory and spectrum costs in your jurisdiction; macroeconomic conditions; and factors not captured in this model.

Benchmarks used in this model are based on a modelled baseline factory ($100M revenue, automotive discrete manufacturing, Western European context, 2020 cost structures) drawn from publicly available industry research. These benchmarks are applied as indicative scaling factors only — they are not guarantees of performance in your specific environment.

TeckNexus has not verified the accuracy of third-party benchmark sources used in this model. Users are advised to commission vendor-specific business case modelling, independent financial analysis, and pilot-based validation before making capital investment decisions.

No vendor referenced in the methodology endorses or is affiliated with TeckNexus or this tool. This tool is vendor-neutral and does not recommend any specific product or supplier.
