What does machine downtime cost you?

Most estimates only include downtime you know about. This calculator adds the stops you do not see and shows the annual loss in profit.

Eliminating 20 % of downtime recovers DKK 311,000 per year. That is DKK 26,000 per month.

Formula: machines × downtime hours per week × 48 weeks × profit per machine hour. These figures are estimates.

How we calculate it

The formula behind the figures

The loss is the number of machines multiplied by downtime hours per week, 48 weeks, and profit per machine hour. Downtime includes both the stops you know about and those nobody records.

Downtime you know about

The stops you already record, for example on paper or in a spreadsheet.

Downtime you do not see

Short stops, nights and weekends, and stops when everyone assumes the machine is running.

Profit per machine hour

The profit a machine earns per hour while running. Use your own figure.

The calculator provides estimates. You only know the actual amount of unrecorded downtime once it is measured at the machine.

How to get the actual figures

We measure directly at the machine

Visiolog measures running time and downtime at the machine itself, so every stop is included.

How Visiolog works: a machine data collector sends running time and downtime to Visiolog, which displays machine status, sends stop alerts and can exchange data with ERP
  1. We connect a data collector to the machine

    Envio's data collector fits all machine types, new and old, and connects via Ethernet.

  2. See running time and downtime

    For each machine, on your computer or phone.

  3. Get notified when a machine stops

    By SMS or email, so you can get it running again promptly.
