Know the machine.
Know the economics.
MachineWorth helps businesses discover, compare, and evaluate the robots that could do a job — and decide whether the numbers actually work. Evidence-graded data, a transparent ROI signal, and an honest read on what's still unproven.
12 machines · 8 manufacturers · 7 documented deployments · every claim evidence-graded.
What machine should you deploy — and does it pencil out?
Three decisions sit between a job that needs doing and a robot on the floor. MachineWorth owns the layer in between.
Which machine for the work?
Match a task and industry to machines that credibly do it — filtered by real commercial status, not press releases.
What will it really cost?
Total cost of ownership beyond the sticker: integration, maintenance, energy, utilization, and useful life.
Does it make sense?
A transparent payback, five-year ROI, and an Economic Signal that stress-tests utilization before it says "yes".
Machines worth understanding
Digit
A logistics-first humanoid with real paid warehouse work.
Figure 02
The humanoid that ran an 11-month automotive pilot at BMW.
Spot
The publicly-priced quadruped that made robot inspection routine.

By industry
Warehousing
Where robot economics are closest to working today.
Logistics & 3PL
Contract logistics operators are early adopters - because they must be.
Automotive Manufacturing
The proving ground for industrial humanoids - with deep pockets and hard tolerances.
General Manufacturing
Machine tending and material handling for small and mid-size plants.
Trust the data, or don't use it
Evidence-graded
Every material claim carries an evidence level — from customer-confirmed down to speculative — with a source and a review date. We show our uncertainty instead of hiding it.
Economics, not hype
A robot only earns its place if it beats the labor it offsets after real costs. Our signal is deliberately conservative and stress-tests utilization.
Readable by agents
Humans, search engines, and AI agents can all use MachineWorth: structured data, schema markup, a JSON API, and a WebMCP tool layer from day one.
The information layer cars got. Maybe robots get one too.
Around automobiles grew valuation (Kelley Blue Book), history (CARFAX), buying intelligence (Edmunds), and benchmarks (J.D. Power). If robots become real capital equipment, businesses will need the same trusted layer. MachineWorth is a bet on that — held to the evidence, not the analogy. Robots aren't cars: no standardization, fast hardware turnover, unclear resale, and heavy software dependence. We treat those differences as the hard part, not a footnote.
