New ROI Calculator from DEK

DEK has announced a new ROI Calculator, said to enable potential and current users of DEK’s award-winning ProFlow paste deposition process to put a financial value on the benefits of implementing the system. Developed to assist customers with financial justification of the product, the calculator is the latest in a series of ProFlow support tools that have been made available directly to ProFlow users.The ROI Calculator is essentially a tool that allows engineers to make an informed purchasing decision by evaluating the total savings per machine per year, as well as the return on investment over one, two and three years. Formulated as an easy-to-use Excel spreadsheet, it takes four of the process’ key benefits and measures the cost advantages of running ProFlow over squeegees based on a user’s own data.The user is required to input data about his current process – based on these user inputs and DEK ProFlow projections (which can be adjusted if required), the spreadsheet outputs the potential savings per machine per year for each of the benefits.The ROI Calculator is said to be capable of simulating different scenarios so that the user can test different manufacturing set ups. It is available on CD and is also downloadable for any registered user of the DEK website at www.dek.com/roi.Source: PCBnewsline
