RIVIÈRE-DU-LOUP, QC, Sept. 27, 2024 – Automation has become essential for businesses to achieve growth and improve performance. Companies need to accelerate their automation efforts by adopting more autonomous and user-friendly solutions. These solutions should quickly deliver the benefits of robotics, enhancing efficiency and competitiveness.  

Committed to innovation and supporting manufacturing companies in boosting their operational efficiency, Premier Tech is introducing the future of automation with its new product line TOMA – designed to speed up packaging automation projects through a comprehensive and intuitive do-it-yourself approach. This delivers automation that’s ‘friendustrial‘.

The first product under the TOMA brand – embodying this philosophy – is a palletizing solution featuring the most advanced interface on the market. It combines industrial robustness and user-friendliness with collaborative robotics. Thanks to its seamless integration requiring no coding, engineering or programming, both small and large manufacturers can access the benefits of automation. This sets a new standard for efficiency and ease of use.

“Today, we are launching more than a product line. We are introducing a completely new approach to automation — we are launching the ‘Automation made friendustrial’ philosophy. Our teams at Premier Tech Systems and Automation have successfully combined industrial-level efficiency with ease of operation. This was achieved by leveraging the cobot technology from Fanuc, the global leader in robotics,” says Jean Bélanger, president and chief executive officer of Premier Tech.

This launch is backed by over 35 years of experience in automation and palletization, combined with new technologies in cobotics and the strong commitment of Premier Tech in ensuring that advanced technologies are made available to a wide range of manufacturers.

TOMA comes with a new innovative business model harnessing the power of an online, seamless and intuitive do-it-yourself configuration. It will enable companies to view their packaging operations from a new perspective and implement automation projects where the financial feasibility was previously a concern.

“TOMA cobots allowed us to enhance the work ergonomics of our teams, meet their needs — especially for night shifts —, and increase our productivity. This new solution is robust, intuitive and easy to program. With its agility and reliability, we can use it in various workspaces according to our needs,” says Pascal Gagné, operations manager at Groupe TAQ and launch partner.
