HOW TO CALCULATE THE REAL ROI OF AN IIOT INVESTMENT
APRIL 10, 2026
Many IIoT projects fail because they start with technology rather than business outcomes. Here's our framework for calculating the economic impact of industrial digital projects.
The OEE Impact
The most direct ROI comes from Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). By implementing real-time monitoring, we typically see a 5-12% increase in OEE within the first 6 months. This is driven by reducing unplanned downtime through predictive alerts.
ROI FORMULA:
(System Cost / Annual OpEx Savings) * 12 = Payback (Months)
