SILO²: the multi-column Vertical Lift Module
For flexographic printing plates, format changeover tooling kits and production line components. Stored on dedicated supports that preserve the geometry of each plate.
Discover SILO²Automated storage systems for packaging and flexographic printing
Printing plates, inks and packaging materials: protected, tracked and always ready, from printing to distribution.
In the packaging and flexographic printing industry, the quality of the finished product also depends on how production materials are managed, stored and protected. An ovalised printing plate, expired ink or a deteriorated print sample is not just a warehouse issue: it can become a defect that reaches the end customer.
With ICAM automated storage systems, you can organise printing plates, flexographic inks, line components and packaging raw materials in a safe, controlled way. Companies in the industry using ICAM solutions have eliminated picking errors, recovered up to 60 m² of floor space and reduced order fulfilment times by 70%.
We support the entire packaging and flexographic printing supply chain
From flexographic printing to raw material production and packaging material distribution, every player in the packaging supply chain manages critical materials with specific requirements. ICAM intelligent solutions are designed to adapt to each one.
Flexographic printers and packaging manufacturers
Plates, inks and changeover tooling always under control
In flexographic printing, every material requires absolute precision. Flexo plates can deform if stored incorrectly, while inks and solvents have a limited shelf life and require FEFO — first expired, first out — rotation. A handling error does not appear in the warehouse; it appears on press, when the defect has already reached the material.
With ICAM automated storage systems, printing plates, tooling and printing materials stay organised, identified by item code or batch, and ready for production. Every pick is guided, tracked and logged.

Packaging raw material producers
Plastic films, paperboard and inks with certified traceability
Producers of plastic film, paperboard, inks and resins operate under strict technical and regulatory constraints. Many materials require controlled storage conditions: hygroscopic paperboard, moisture-sensitive plastic film, and regulated inks and solvents.
With ICAM automated storage systems, storage is organised and tracked by batch and storage condition, with automatic rotation and full real-time stock visibility — essential for supply chains with food-contact requirements.

Converters, co-packers and packaging distributors
Picking accuracy and always-available print proofs
Converters and co-packers manage printed rolls, labels and packaging materials for different customers. Similar-looking SKUs require absolute picking accuracy to prevent work-order errors. Customer-approved print proofs must be stored in optimal conditions and quickly retrievable in the event of a dispute.
With ICAM automated storage systems, materials and print proofs stay organised, protected and traceable by work order and customer.
