Wyandot Snacks Implements Robotics for Production Efficiency

Wyandot Snacks has integrated two robots into its production line to automate pallet stacking, which has contributed to a rise in output from 300,000 pounds to over one million pounds weekly. The company, in partnership with Formic, emphasizes a flexible automation model allowing for the adaptation of robotic systems as production needs evolve.

CEO Jaap Langenberg notes that employee concerns about job loss have transitioned into a demand for further automation, resulting in a workforce increase of approximately 100 employees since last January. Future automation phases are planned, with a commitment to ongoing investment in facility modernization and job creation.
