Date:2025-12-24

Are you still streaming raw video to the cloud? You might be burning 68% of your potential profit.

In the era of AI-driven robotics and digital signage, "Cloud-First" is becoming a financial trap. Based on official 2025 AWS and Azure pricing models, we have built a comprehensive financial model to help System Integrators and CTOs visualize the real cost of ownership.

What's inside this Free Excel Calculator?

We have pre-loaded the formulas with real-world data to compare a deployment of 1,000 units (e.g., Kiosks, Robots, or Digital Signage screens):

  • Bandwidth Reality Check: See the massive cost difference between streaming 18,000 TB (Cloud) vs. 0.72 TB (Edge) of data annually.
  • Storage Shock: Calculate how much you are paying to store video footage that you could process and discard locally.
  • Hardware Break-even Point: Discover how quickly the Goobuy UC-501 pays for itself (Hint: It’s often less than 8 months).
  • Customizable Fields: Input your own device quantity, electricity costs, and cloud rates to get a tailored report for your specific project.

Who is this for?

  • CEOs & Founders: To validate the business case for Edge AI migration.
  • Product Managers: To justify the BOM cost of upgrading to smart cameras.
  • Engineers: To compare technical architectures (Streaming vs. On-Device Inference).
