A note from Formic

Thank you for feeding America.

You run a plant that puts food on tables and household goods on shelves. That work is harder than it has ever been: tighter labor, higher volumes, thinner margins, and the same delivery dates. We sent you a box to say thank you, and to make one point. Every item in it was made on a line Formic automated.

  • The taffy came off a Formic palletizer at Taffy Town in Salt Lake City.
  • The Famous Chicago Mix comes out of Garrett Brands in Chicago, stacked by a robot they never had to buy.
  • The coffee is roasted in Shakopee, Minnesota, where Cameron’s went from zero systems to five in a year.
01 / What’s in the box

Three American plants. One thing in common.

None of them bought a robot. None of them hired a robotics engineer. Each one put a Formic system on the line, kept their whole team, and moved people off the job that was wearing them out. Here is what that looks like in numbers.

03 / Who we are

Formic is Full Service Automation. Everything included, one monthly fee.

We put robots on production lines in American factories, and we own everything that comes with them: the equipment, the software, the install, the spare parts, the maintenance, and the uptime. It is one fixed, all-inclusive monthly fee. No capital expenditure. That is why a 110-year-old taffy maker and a national coffee roaster could both start automating without opening a capital project.

01

One fixed monthly fee

Equipment, software, installation, service, spare parts, and performance SLAs in a single all-inclusive monthly price. No capital expenditure, no integrator to source, and no separate service contract to negotiate.

02

We own the uptime

24/7 technical support, regional field service engineers, and all preventive and corrective maintenance. Service is the whole job, so it is included, not invoiced. When a system stops, it is our problem to solve.

03

One station, or the whole line

Palletizing, case erecting, case packing, case sealing, stretch wrapping, and machine tending. Start where the strain is worst and add stations as the case proves itself.
