Case Study: Mi Rancho achieves safer, more efficient tortilla production with Formic Technologies

Mi Rancho automates palletizing of 70 million pounds a year with Formic

Mi Rancho, a long-established producer of tortillas and chips, faced significant challenges in scaling its production to meet double-digit growth. The company struggled with manual, injury-prone palletizing tasks and a persistent labor shortage. To overcome these hurdles without a large capital investment, Mi Rancho partnered with Formic to implement its Robots-as-a-Service solution for automated palletizing.

Formic deployed six robotic palletizers across Mi Rancho's production lines with zero upfront cost, charging only a low hourly usage rate that included full support and maintenance. This automation eliminated safety risks, increased production efficiency, and repurposed staff to higher-value roles. The solution provided immediate ROI, allowing Mi Rancho to safely stack millions of pounds of product annually and positioning them for further automation with Formic.
