Overview
What a Duplo embellishment or finishing machine is worth to a shop, built from the numbers the rest of
the Suite already keeps. Pick the equipment and the page shows the payback, and every line of
arithmetic behind it.
| Group | Machines |
|---|
| Embellishment | DDC-8000, DDC-810 PRO, DFL-700 |
| Slit / cut / crease / perf / fold | DC-618, DC-648, DC-746 B2, CF375 XPRO, CP375 DUO, DF-1300L |
| Die cutting | UD-310, DSM-1000 B2, DPC-400, DPC-600, DPC-2024 |
| Cutting & bindery | HC-550i, HC-680i, DBM-150, DBM-350, DBM-700i, DPB-500, DB-300 |
Each machine starts from the Duplo USA list price, accessory set, install & training fee and optional
annual maintenance on a real quote - the quote number and date show under Investment.
Discount off list takes a dealer, partner or franchise discount off the equipment (not the
install).
What it is for
Showing where the payback comes from - trade work no longer bought, new work sold, setup time the
ImposeIQ barcode gives back, and the prep the Automation Workflow does - rather than one big number
nobody can check.
What it is not
A quotation or a tax calculation. Prices are list prices from past quotes, not an offer, and tax is
a flat rate with straight-line depreciation. Volumes, trade prices and speeds are starting points.
Sales and Shop
The switch in the header keeps two separate scenarios, so flipping it in front of a customer never loses
what was typed into the other one.
| Mode | Where the figures come from |
|---|
| Sales | Duplo figures for each machine and the MIS sample shop. For walking a
prospect through the numbers before they own anything. |
| Shop | This shop's own MIS: each machine's cost center (sheets an hour, setup
minutes), the jobs routed through it in the last year (jobs a year, sheets a job, the MIS sell price) and
the Automation Workflow runs (jobs a year, hand prep the steps replace, average job cost). A figure read
from the MIS carries an MIS tag; change it and the tag reads edited.
Refresh reads the MIS again and keeps anything you edited. |
The page only reads. It cannot change a rate, a job, a workflow or a run, and it is never handed artwork
paths, customer contacts or workflow folders.
How the number is built
| Line | Arithmetic, per year |
|---|
| Trade finishing no longer bought | sheets × share sent out × trade price, plus freight per trade job |
| Hand work no longer done | sheets × share done by hand ÷ 100 × hand minutes per 100 sheets × wage |
| New work sold at the MIS price | sheets × the rest of the work × sell price per sheet |
| Setup recall from ImposeIQ | jobs × (setup minutes − setup with the barcode / job recall) × wage |
| Hand prep the workflow does | workflow jobs × (hand prep − checking minutes) × prepress wage |
| Remakes preflight catches | workflow jobs × drop in remake rate × average job cost |
| Faster quoting in the MIS | quotes × minutes saved per quote × estimator wage |
| Running costs | operator hours × wage, consumables per sheet, service contract, power (hours × kW × $/kWh), software |
Where the MIS and workflows come in
The five cards under the charts follow one job through the machine being edited: the MIS cost center that
prices it, the workflow that preps it, the machine reading the barcode instead of being set up by hand,
the floor posting real minutes back to the job, and the payback. Proof from the MIS lists
jobs that route through the selected machines, with estimated and actual minutes, what the work cost in
house, and what a trade finisher would have charged.
Cash, lease & what-if
Money switches between a cash purchase (payback, NPV and IRR) and a lease (monthly
payment against monthly benefit, and the month the lease turns cash positive). What if volume
changes? scales every job, sheet and quote; the sensitivity table shows payback at 50% to 150%,
and the note under it gives the volume a cash purchase needs to hit your target payback.
Scenarios, CSV & print
Scenarios saves the current mode under a name on this PC; the Suite backup carries them.
Export CSV writes the summary, the annual bridge, each machine and every input.
