Can automation keep up with the high-volume, seasonal spikes in candy production?

Yes. Formic systems are built for surge demand (Halloween, Valentine's, Easter) and run multi-shift to absorb the spike. Formic handles support and maintenance so your internal team stays focused on production.

Will the robots work with our constantly changing SKUs and packaging types?

Flexibility is built in. From mini packs to share bags, single bars to multi-SKU variety packs, the system handles quick changeovers between formats — and Full Service lets you swap equipment mid-contract as your line evolves.

We run a wide variety of candy formats. Will automation work for all of them?

Pouches, pillow packs, blister trays, cartons, wrapped bars. Every cell is spec'd to product shape, weight, and packaging. Smart programming handles gentle, SKU-specific logic so fragile and sticky products move without damage.
