Financial Results
ROI of Engineering Systems Automation
Investment in HVAC and refrigeration systems automation delivers returns through reduced energy consumption, minimised equipment downtime and optimised staffing costs. For most industrial facilities, the payback period ranges from 1 to 3 years.
How is Automation ROI Calculated?
ROI = (Total Savings for Period − Investment) / Investment × 100%
Payback Period = Investment / Annual Savings
- Investment — cost of controllers, software, installation and commissioning worksю
- Annual Savings — reduction in energy costs, maintenance expenditure, emergency downtime and staffing optimisation.
- Total Savings for Period — cumulative financial benefit over 2–5 years of system operation.
- Payback Period indicates when the system fully recovers the initial investment.
The larger the facility and the more stable the load — the faster the system generates net savings.
For facilities with continuous refrigeration load, the typical payback period is 12–36 months.
Automation is not a cost — it is a profitability tool for your facility. Reduced energy consumption, minimised downtime and full control over engineering systems deliver stable financial results from the first years of operation.

Customers Says
Koriell Group completed the development of a refrigeration machine and its installation on CO2 for berry sublimation. We are very pleased with the cooperation because the work was completed on time. The equipment operates productively and energy-efficiently, which in turn reduces the cost of finished products.
We have had a positive experience working with the Coriel Group team. Just recently, they replaced our 20-year-old school berry freezing system
with a new, modern and more efficient system that works flawlessly.
