Every machine seller has a payback calculator, and every one of them assumes the thing runs 40 hours a week from day one. This one asks what you’ll actually sell, what it actually costs to run, and what you’re paying subcontractors today - and if the answer is ‘keep subcontracting’, it says so. We sell factory software, not machines, so we don’t care which way your answer comes out.

When you do buy it, MirrorWorks tracks its utilisation, maintenance, and true hourly cost from day one. See the live demo.
