The real ROI of packaging automation — with numbers
We walked through a recent FMCG line upgrade. Here's the payback breakdown.
- An FMCG client replaced a 4-operator manual pouch-packing station with a single-operator VFFS line. Throughput went from 25 pouches/min to 80 pouches/min.
- Direct labour saved 3 operators × 3 shifts = ₹6.5L/month. Pouch material savings from controlled tear-off added another ₹80k/month.

Total payback came in at 14 months — and the new line gave them spare capacity to onboard two more SKUs without adding a second shift.
