01 / Why Fast Track

Automate your entire end of line, now.

Truly turnkey: one team scopes every station to your line, one project installs it, and one low monthly fee runs it. You drop air and power, Formic does the rest. Easy. And because you spend nothing on capital, the budget you would have sunk into equipment stays free for the projects that grow the business.

  • Erector, packer, sealer, palletizer, and the conveyor to connect them
  • $0 CapEx, put your capital to work somewhere else
  • Take the high-strain lifting off your people and reduce injury risk
  • Fill the roles you can't hire for, and save money doing it
  • 24/7 support and 100% maintenance, included
One connected line · 24/7
02 / What's Included

Every machine your packout needs, as one connected line.

Turnkey means turnkey. Follow a case down the line. Formic Fast Track includes:

01

Case Erector

Build boxes in real time to feed your production line.

02

Case Packer

Pack your product into master cases.

03

Case Sealer

Tape your packed master cases for secure shipment.

04

Palletizer

Stack your master cases on a pallet to your SKU and pattern design.

And the conveyor to connect all of the equipment and smoothly run your line.

All for one
low monthly fee.

03 / Standardize

Standardize your production performance.

Watch one day on a manual line: output fades as fatigue, breaks, and small problems mount, resets at the 4PM crew change, then fades again. The Formic line holds the same output from the 8AM start to the end of second shift.

04 / The People Problem

Fill the hardest jobs on your line, forever.

Eliminate the neverending process of hiring, onboarding, and losing employees when they quit your most difficult and physically demanding jobs. Formic Fast Track fills jobs for:

Worker cutting the strapping on a bundle of flat corrugated blanks, the start of hand-building boxes
1–4
Employees Making Boxes
Operator hand-placing product into a partitioned case, the repetitive packing job Formic Fast Track takes over
2–4
Employees Packing Products Into Cases
Worker hand-carrying a taped case onto a growing stack, the repetitive palletizing job Formic Fast Track takes over
1–4
Employees Taping and Palletizing Cases

Shift your valuable employees into less physically demanding jobs, bank the labor savings, and retain talent to drive your business.

Save money, keep your best people. Both, not either.

05 / One Line, One Partner

Four machines from one vendor working together > four vendors pointing fingers at each other.

Scoped together. Installed together. Supported together.
That's what makes Formic Fast Track easy.

01
Scoped together
One team, one map
  • Rates, footprints, and handoffs matched before anything ships
  • No integration guesswork left for your maintenance team
02
Installed together
One project, one timeline
  • Erector, packer, sealer, and palletizer commission as one project
  • The line runs as a system on day one, not four islands
03
Supported together
One number to call
  • 24/7 support and 100% maintenance across all four stations
  • One uptime commitment, not a finger-pointing loop

Fast track your end of line.
One low fee. Zero hassle.
