Automation without initial investment: How to turn 0 CZK into a stable profit (RaaS)

Introduction: Tearing down the most expensive wall

You know that robotization is necessary. You know that it would solve your shortage of welders, free up CNC operators, and increase capacity. But the biggest obstacle remains the high initial investment – ​​often over a million crowns for a robotic cell.

This financial barrier is called CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) and is often insurmountable for small and medium-sized businesses. Fortunately, there is a solution today that breaks down this wall: Automation without an initial investment – ​​the Robot as a Service (RaaS) model.

With RaaS, you don't have to buy a robot. You can rent it, pay only for its performance, and start earning from day one.

Main part: RaaS – Cost Transformation

The Robot as a Service (RaaS) model is completely changing the way companies finance and use automation, transforming costs from capital to operational.

1. Change CAPEX to OPEX

Instead of a one-time expense (CAPEX), you pay a predictable monthly flat rate (OPEX – Operating Expenses).

0 CZK to start: No tied cash, no complicated loans.

Lump sum expense: The monthly payment is an operating expense that reduces the tax base.

2. All-inclusive package

RaaS is not just renting a robot, it is a complete, hassle-free service. The monthly fee usually includes:

• Hardware: Robotic arm (cobot) and all necessary accessories (grippers, stands).
• Integration and deployment: Installation, mapping (for AMR robots) and basic programming.
• Full service: All maintenance, repairs and spare parts.

3. Return on investment (ROI)

The biggest economic benefit of RaaS is the immediate return on investment.

Example: A welding cobot for a welding cell has a monthly flat rate of, for example, CZK 65,000. However, thanks to night shift operation, the robot generates an additional monthly profit (or savings) of CZK 90,000.

Result: The robot generates profit from the first month without the need for any investment.

Key benefits of RaaS for SMBs

The RaaS model is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and for companies with variable production.

• Zero risk
  Not sure if automation is right for your process? RaaS is the ideal way to try out a robot in full operation without the risk of buying an expensive stationary machine.
• Absolute flexibility
  Do you need to increase capacity for just 18 months due to a large order? After the contract ends, you return the robot or exchange it for a newer model. You are not burdened with assets.
• Always up-to-date technology
  You always have the latest, serviced models available without having to deal with obsolescence of your own hardware.

Conclusion: Don't wait for savings

Gone are the days when you had to save years for automation. Robot as a Service (RaaS) is the financially smart way to immediately address critical human resource shortages and increase productivity. Stop paying for downtime and let your robot make money for you from day one.
