01Solutions

Every line. One platform.

From end-of-line packing to humanoids, the automation American manufacturing actually needs, deployed for zero dollars in capital investment.

Any-Product Palletizing

Stable stacks, every shift

Any-Product Palletizing

Vision-guided palletizing that adapts to product, pattern, and pallet on the fly. Varying SKUs, fast changeovers, AI that keeps getting sharper with every cycle.

Case Packing

Counts that hit, every time

Case Packing

Vision-powered intelligent pick and place, top & side load, rigid & flexible packages. Changes over in minutes.

Machine Tending

Mill, lathe, mold · hands off and lights out

Machine Tending

Robotic part loading and unloading for CNC mills, lathes, and injection molders. Pushes spindle utilization past 80%, runs lights-out shifts, and frees skilled operators for setup and QC.

Pallet Wrapping

Tight wraps, dock-ready

Pallet Wrapping

Automated stretch wrapping integrated with your palletizer and AMR flow. Consistent wrap tension, no operator walks, no damaged loads on the dock.

General Purpose Robots

On-demand intelligent problem solver

General Purpose Robots

Frontier general-purpose robots deployed under the same Full Service model: fixed monthly price, no integration risk, continuous capability upgrades as the platforms mature. Early access program open now.

Material Movement

Pallet movement without forklifts

Material Movement

Autonomous mobile robots moving pallets dock-to-staging, line-to-wrap, finished-goods-to-outbound. Scales from 2 to 30+ units, and slows around people automatically.

2026-2027

Coming Soon

More capability shipping in 2026 and 2027: expanded metal fab, autonomous quality inspection, and humanoid robots in production. Talk with us if you want early access.

02The Magic

AI on the floor.
Production-grade.

Industrial AI built for shop-floor reality. Vision systems, learned policies, and continuous improvement, running safely on every Formic line, getting smarter with every cycle.

Inside the Magic

Formic-branded Talos case-packer arm in studio, the kind of system Cortex orchestrates across the fleet

Cortex · The AI layer

01 / Cortex

The intelligence layer across every Formic system.

Cortex runs perception, decision-making, and continuous learning across every cell. Fleet-wide vision models, anomaly detection, and policy improvements roll out as OTA updates. Your systems get smarter every week.

Vision models trained on millions of in-line cycles
Closed-loop learning: every cycle improves the model
Continuous OTA upgrades, new capability, no downtime

Siemens servo drives in a Formic control cabinet, Core executes Cortex's decisions in deterministic, safety-rated motion

Core · Safe execution

02 / Core

Safe execution. At industrial speed.

Core is the execution layer that runs Cortex's decisions in deterministic, safety-rated motion, the layer that keeps AI honest on the floor. Hard-real-time control, certified safety paths, no surprises on the line.

Hard-real-time motion, deterministic to the millisecond
Safety-rated stop and intervention paths
The trusted handoff between AI policy and physical motion

Formic system on a CPG floor reducing labor reliance

01 / Labor Shortage

Automate the hardest-to-fill positions.

Mid-market CPG operators are losing 25–40% of their workforce annually on the worst-positioned tasks. Formic automates exactly those roles, without adding headcount risk.

02 / Ergonomic Injury

Cut injury rates. Improve retention.

Removing workers from high-repetition, high-strain tasks reduces injury frequency, keeps experienced operators on the line longer, and lowers your insurance exposure.

All Customer Stories

"Formic's system is a silent workhorse in our facility. It's always working."
Derek Glade, CMO · Taffy Town

"Formic has some skin in the game, because they're only getting incentivized when the machine is running, not when it's down."
Matt Neuman, Distribution & Packaging Manager · Georgia Nut
