The equipment need

The company was planning to acquire an industrial robot to automate a stage in its production line.

The investment was in the range of $115,000–$229,000, which was difficult to absorb from the financial year's own funds.

Management wanted to compare a cash purchase to a leasing solution before initiating the order.

The production schedule required rapid commissioning, without waiting for the accounting closure.

  • Industrial production robot
  • Robotic cell and associated peripherals
  • Online commissioning and integration

The support described in the project

We have structured a leasing on the robot and all the peripherals necessary for its integration.

The duration was set at 60 months, aligned with the expected operating time of the robotic cell.

Lease payments were aligned to remain covered by expected productivity gains in the first year.

We have integrated commissioning and integration costs into funding on the existing line.

The application was submitted to several financial partners to retain the best rental payment structure.

The reported operational outcome

The robot was put into operation without significant initial disbursement for the company.

Cash remained available for the working capital requirement linked to the rate of turnover.

The company has a purchase option at the end of the contract and retains control of the exit choice.
