From the article
With a RaaS contract, there is usually no down payment or end-of-contract balloon payment. In most cases, your monthly payment is based on the equipment’s amount of work performed. The RaaS contract is usually less than or close to your operating cost before the robot. For example, if the robot replaces someone paid $20.00 per hour plus benefits, etc. (assume another $10.00), your robot will generally cost you less than $30.00 per hour. If you pay by the piece for the robot and the output is greater than the person it replaces, your operating cost may be greater than before, but your cost per piece produced will be less. There are no additional costs or fees beyond the agreed price. This is a huge deal.
