    Check the results using your own parts

    Send us your parts; the evaluation takes no more than a week and is free of charge. After that, feedy will remain in your facility for 3 months. You can then either purchase it at the quoted price or return the device for a flat fee of €5,000.

    Calculation: Manual time required = Parts ÷ (Cycle time × 60). Labor requirements = Time required ÷ productive hours per employee (or full-time equivalents per shift). Number of feedy units = Time required ÷ (Shifts × Days × Hours × Availability), rounded up. Support = Minutes × Shifts × Days × Number of feedy units × Hourly rate. Payback period = Investment ÷ (Manual labor costs − Support − Replacement parts).
