This calculation covers labour cost savings only. Real ROI typically improves once you factor in reduced pack defect rate (manual ~2–3% → auto <0.1%), eliminated film waste from operator over-wrapping, and avoided WorkSafe-grade MSD claims (industry case studies cite 66% MSD reduction switching to auto shrink wrap — Source: Rexel Electrical Products case study, WorkSafe Queensland).
