ROI vs. TCO: Why Manufacturers Get Automation Cost Wrong

We put together a no-fluff guide that breaks down the hidden costs of automation and why ROI doesn't paint the real picture.

More Production, Less Disruption

Automation will get you off the labor challenge merry-go-round, remove workplace injuries at the end of your line, and allow your team to achieve their productivity goals — hitting OTIF every day.

Stop Labor Turnover

Packing and stacking have the highest temp and employee churn rates, requiring recruitment, onboarding, and training - only to start the cycle over again in a few weeks.

Stop Injuries

End-of-line production activities are the most common jobs impacted by bending, lifting, and twisting injuries - impacting your company culture, leaving your team short and costing you money.

Stop Missing Targets

Labor churn and injuries in your facility lead to further strain on your production team to get product packed, stacked, and shipped for delivery to customers.

See how effortless automation can be with a partner who’s with you every step.

Manufacturers Automating with Formic

“Formic's system is a silent workhorse in our facility. It's always working.”
Derek Glade CMO at Taffy Town

“Formic likes to partner with people; it’s not just a business transaction.”
Patrick Henson VP of Operations at Masters Gallery

“With Formic, the cost to entry is low and the risk is low. I’m not expending all that capital up front to force myself to make it work; that’s their job.”
Rick Kulas Director of Operations at Boxed Water Is Better

“Before, I never got answers. I'd ask why we were slow, and the response would be, 'We had to stay two hours late to finish the order.' But now with FPI, I can see the first case didn’t hit the robot until 7 a.m. There’s no hiding from the data.”
Jim LaRocco Director of Manufacturing and Fulfillment at Garrett Popcorn

“Having a partner like Formic that handles installation, maintenance, and equipment swapping allows us to stay focused on what we do best: Making great snacks. It also reduces the risk and guesswork that can come with large-scale automation projects.”
Jaap Langenberg CEO of Wyandot Snacks

“Palletizing is not designed for humans. There's a lot of ergonomic risk of palletizing. It's not a job that humans should do eight hours a day. Why not automate that? Have those humans go use their brain power elsewhere, and that's what we love most about Formic.”
Adam Bragg Technical Director at Cameron's Coffee
