Case Study: Polysciences improves safety, productivity, and quality with Formic Technologies automation

Polysciences cuts OpEx 35% on day 1 with Formic Technologies

Polysciences, a chemical manufacturing leader, faced the challenge of improving safety and productivity in its production process, specifically the repetitive manual lifting of 30-pound boxes. This labor-dependent task had become a bottleneck. While they identified automation as the solution, they lacked in-house expertise and found that traditional automation vendors were not interested in working with a medium-sized company. They partnered with Formic Technologies to overcome these barriers.

Formic implemented its robotic palletizing solution from the Formic Stack suite, requiring no capital expenditure from Polysciences. The solution eliminated the need for manual lifting, greatly improving safety and ergonomics. It increased operational efficiency by removing the production bottleneck and allowed employees to be reassigned to more valuable tasks. Polysciences achieved a 35% operational expense reduction from day one through Formic's low hourly rate and reported 100% consistency in palletizing quality.
