What does it cost to keep checking a site just to learn that nothing changed?
Use your own labor, drive time and mileage assumptions. This calculator does not estimate R3CON savings. It only makes the current manual-check cost visible.
Put a number on the truck roll.
The next question is not whether remote monitoring eliminates every visit. It is how many routine checks become unnecessary once the operating condition is visible remotely.
If the direct manual-check cost is small, do not force the sale. If it is meaningful across dozens of similar sites, that is a much stronger R3CON conversation.
Have several sites with the same manual-check pattern?
Use one representative site for a field trial, then evaluate scale only after the data proves useful.
