Total yearly savings realized by converting to Pile Driver: *
* Calculation is based upon the following formula:

True Cost=[Sensors Used] x [Sensor Cost + Installation Cost** + Downtime Cost†]

** Initial Installation or Replacement labor cost: 
   - Mounting, wiring, adjusting/verifying operation. Or, sensor troubleshooting, removal and replacement.

†Downtime "Lost Production" cost:
   - Downtime "lost productivity"/product cost. Dependent upon end product's value and production rate.
