Formic Cortex: The Fastest Way to De-Risk and Drive Continuous Improvement on Your Production Line

Up to 30-50% of automation projects fall short. Cortex minimizes that risk with AI-driven deployment, monitoring, and autonomous recovery powered by facility scans, SKU data, and live production footage.

1

Plan

3D Site Scan

A quick walk-around produces full-facility renderings for simulations and workflow verification.

AR-Powered Site Scanning & Visualization

Augmented reality scans and visual system previews accelerate planning and de-risk deployment by visualizing how systems fit into your facility before installation.

AI Document Scan

Converts customer spreadsheets, PDFs, and other SKU documents into structured data for system scoping.

Video Capture & Analysis

Cameras collect days of production footage to capture processes, worker movement, and abnormal situations.

Component Database

Access to vetted parts, pricing, and compatibility to inform system design automatically.

2

Deploy

Automated Solution Configuration

AI-powered analysis of all planning needs to identify the appropriate system for production lines.

System-Specific BOM Generation

Automatically generates mechanical and electrical BOMs after solution verification.

Gripper/EOAT Automation

Standardizes end-of-arm tooling selection and designs custom solutions when needed.

3

Optimize

AI-Powered Evaluation

Future-ready object identification and quantification for ongoing optimization.

Data-Driven Decision Loops

Leverages live footage, historical performance, and predictive analytics to adjust workflows.

Fleet-Wide Monitoring & Predictive Insights

Formic Colony enables fleet-wide data aggregation and AI-driven health analysis for real-time visibility, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance.

Continuous Improvement
