Investing in smart equipment requires clear financial returns. Let's analyze the ROI for a 5,000-head finisher operation deploying Shenzhen StarCore Technology's smart disinfection system.Initial Investment (Estimate):
Sensors & control units (for 2 key tunnels)
Installation & commissioning
Total Capital Cost: Approximately
Annual Operational Savings & Benefits:
Chemical & Water Savings:
Old Method: Continuous or timed spraying wastes resources. Assume 100L disinfectant & 5 tons water wasted daily.
Smart System: Precision triggering sprays only when needed. Expect ≥50% savings.
Annual Value: (Chemical cost + Water cost) * 365 days * 50% ≈ 4,000−7,000.
Labor Cost Reduction:
Reduces dedicated labor for operating equipment by 1 FTE.
Annual Salary Savings: ≈ 8,000−12,000.
Disease Risk Reduction (Significant):
Assume one minor outbreak due to poor sanitation costs ~$15,000 in medication, mortality, and lost growth.
Smart system reduces this risk by ≥70%.
Annual Avoided Loss Value: ≥ $10,000.
Management Efficiency:
Automated logs replace manual records. Standardized processes reduce oversight.
Conservative Total Annual Benefit:22,000−29,000.Payback Period:< 12 months.Environmental Benefits:
Reduces chemical discharge by ~50%, lessening environmental impact.
Conserves fresh water.
Conclusion: A StarCore smart system typically pays for itself in under a year and continues to deliver substantial financial and environmental returns—a true "cost-saving, efficiency-boosting, quality-improving, and green" investment.
