Case Study: Compact Industries boosts factory productivity with Formic Technologies automation

Compact Industries boosts palletizing to 720 cases per hour with Formic Technologies

Compact Industries, a Chicago-based food and beverage packaging specialist, was struggling with a severe labor shortage and high worker turnover that threatened its production quality and consistency. To combat this, the company partnered with Formic Technologies to implement a collaborative robotic palletizing system.

Formic designed and deployed a fully-integrated mobile palletizing system featuring a Yaskawa collaborative robot. The solution drastically reduced Compact's reliance on temporary labor and eliminated the need for constant retraining. The system delivers 720 cases per hour and allows for rapid product changeovers. The results were so positive that Compact ordered a second system within a month, unlocking new productivity levels and improving operational efficiency.
