GETTING YOUR OWN MEASUREMENT SYSTEM IS GOOD BUSINESS
Try to calculate the annual savings using the chart below. There are input fields for the cost of your existing setup, a Viso light measurement system, and a competitive system. You will see that the annual savings will soon make it worthwhile to have your own lab – even with moderate use.
Please note that this calculation does not take into account the potential R&D benefits (fast prototype testing, short time to market, increased competence level, etc.).
