…benefits over purchasing or even leasing robots. For cash-strapped operations, RaaS lowers the investment cost necessary to begin a project by moving the cost from capital expenditure (capex) to operational expenditure (opex) budgets and allows for almost instant return on investment (ROI). For companies prioritizing innovation, RaaS represents a lower-risk option and a far easier implementation process, said ForwardX. “The…
