What happens

A working walkthrough, not a pitch meeting.

Most manufacturers know automation could lift productivity and add capacity. Few know where to start, what a manual labor process really costs, or what a robot would look like on their line. This visit answers all three, on your floor, in one sitting.

01

We walk your floor

Our automation expert reads your line with the benefit of hundreds of plant visits: cycle times, part mix, changeover, staffing gaps. We flag which stations are the strongest fit.

02

We run the AR demo

Point a tablet at the actual station and watch a robot run your parts in real time, in your space, before anything is signed or installed.

03

We show you the numbers

Throughput, Total Cost of Ownership, and staffing impact specific to your shop, not an industry average pulled off a slide.

04

We leave with a plan

A short write-up of where to start, the labor and throughput gains you could expect, and a directional cost to weigh them against.

Real Robots.
Real product.
No BS.

The AR demo puts a robot in your space to scale. Here is what those systems look like once they are live and running product on a real floor.

Where it fits

The Solutions worth
a closer look.

Whichever task is costing you the most labor, ergonomic risk, or throughput, we’ve scoped it before. On the walkthrough, your expert flags the strongest fit for your floor.

What the plan becomes

One monthly rate. Everything included.

A green light from the assessment doesn’t mean a big capital purchase. With Formic’s Full Service Automation, you never buy a robot or sign a maintenance contract. You get the system, the software, and the service for one fixed monthly rate.

Scoped, built, and installed

We design the system, build it on proven modular hardware, and commission it on your floor. Weeks, not the traditional 12 to 18 months, and no capital risk.

Software and intelligence

Every system is connected and monitored by Formic Cortex and Core. Live throughput, OEE, and remote diagnostics your team can actually see.

Service and parts, included

24/7 support, regional field engineers, managed spare parts, and performance SLAs written into every agreement. Service is not invoiced, it is included.

Flexes as you grow

Swap or scale equipment as your needs change. Backward-compatible upgrades roll out across every deployment.

Common questions

Before you book.

Is the assessment really free?
Yes. The visit, the AR demo, and the written plan cost nothing and carry no obligation. We would rather tell you honestly where automation fits than sell you a system that does not.
What exactly is the AR demo?
We point a tablet at your actual line and render a robot running your parts, to scale, right in your space. You see precisely what it would look like on your floor before anything is installed.
Who comes onsite?
A Formic automation expert who visits hundreds of plants a year and knows what end-of-line automation looks like when it works. When the task calls for it, they bring Formic engineering into the loop.
How long does it take?
Plan for about 60 minutes on your floor. That is enough to walk the stations that matter, run the AR demo, and hand you a written plan the same visit.
What does it cost to actually run?
There is no CapEx and no separate maintenance contract. You pay one flat monthly rate that scales with the work. The exact rate depends on your parts and cycle, which is what the assessment is for.

Hundreds of plants a year.
One visit for yours.

A free visit from an automation expert who walks hundreds of plants a year, and leaves you a plan to get the most out of yours. About 60 minutes, no obligation.
