Industries/Packaging and palletising
Most of the line you have built before. Price it that way.
Packaging and palletisingWhy quoting is hard
A packaging or palletising line is rarely new from end to end. Infeeds, magazines, guarding and controls repeat from job to job, and the margin usually goes on the part that does not.
Drawgen finds the past jobs that match each module of the new line, prices them from what those modules actually cost, and marks the new part for your estimator.
Modules repeat, quotes start from scratch
The same infeed has been built five times, yet each quote begins from an old spreadsheet and memory of what it cost.
The new part is where the margin goes
A layer sheet dispenser or a new gripper nobody has built before is priced by feel, and the overrun shows up months later.
A high share is bought in
Robots, drives and pneumatics are quoted on last year’s prices, and nobody checks the orders against the quote.

End-of-line palletising cell, two lines
Each line priced from what similar work actually cost on finished jobs, with its sources shown. The line no past job can support is left open for the estimator, who sets the price.
