SILO²: the multi-column Vertical Lift Module
For molds, press tooling, machine spare parts and technical rubber products.
High-capacity trays, guided picking and traceability by machine code.
Automated storage systems for the plastics and rubber industry
Molds, resins and technical components protected and always available: from injection molding to distribution
In rubber and plastics manufacturing, the warehouse does not simply store materials: it protects what makes production possible. A damaged mold, a resin stored outside the required conditions or a component picked by mistake can turn into production downtime, with immediate costs that are difficult to recover.
With ICAM automated storage systems, you organise molds, spare parts, resins and technical items safely: every material is protected, identified and always available when needed. Companies in the sector using ICAM solutions have recovered up to 90% of the floor space occupied by molds and drastically reduced machine setup times.
We support the entire plastics and rubber supply chain
From injection molding to resin and compound management and the production of technical rubber products, every player has specific requirements. ICAM intelligent solutions are designed to adapt to each one.
Injection molders and plastics processors
Molds protected and spare parts always available
Injection molding operators know that the mold is one of the most critical assets in the department. Molds can weigh tens or hundreds of kilos and, when stored on the floor or on open racking, the risk is not just physical damage: it is the time lost during mold changeover and the non-conforming part that is only discovered in manufacturing.
With ICAM automated storage systems, you organise molds, tooling and press spare parts in an orderly way. Every component is identified by machine code or type of intervention and available when needed.

Compound, masterbatch and resin processors
Shelf life and storage conditions under control
Resins, compounds and masterbatch require precise storage conditions. Materials such as PET, PE, PP or PVC must be protected from contamination or degradation, while additives and colorants have a limited shelf life and require FEFO rotation to prevent the use of material stored outside the required conditions.
With ICAM automated storage systems you organize storage by material family and lot, maintain full inventory visibility and guarantee correct rotation automatically.

Manufacturers of technical rubber products
Thousands of SKUs and no room for error
Manufacturers of O-rings, seals, profiles and technical rubber products manage thousands of SKUs that are often highly similar in shape and size. A picking error may only emerge downstream in production or, worse, once it reaches the end customer.
With ICAM storage systems, components are organised in a structured, traceable way. IRIDE guides operators to the correct pick and ensures accurate work-order preparation, even across nearly identical SKUs.

Organised material management improves production continuity, material quality and inventory control, from press to shipping.
-
Molds protected and immediately available
High specific-load-bearing-capacity trays store the molds. The closed SILO² structure protects them. During mold changeover, the system automatically delivers the tray to the picking/refilling station.
-
Resins and compounds in correct rotation
Automatic FEFO management through software integration. The system always indicates the correct batch to use: no out-of-standard material reaches production.
-
Machine spare parts ready for maintenance
Screws, nozzles and press components are organised by machine code. When the line stops, the spare part is immediately available.
-
O-rings and gaskets picked without errors
For SKUs that are similar in shape or size, IRIDE indicates the exact position of the correct item to pick.
-
Resins separated by material family
PE, PP, PVC organized in dedicated areas by batch. Reduced risk of cross-contamination between incompatible materials.
-
Full lot traceability for demanding supply chains
Every movement is logged by lot, quantity and operator, essential for automotive, medical or food supply chains.
Plastics and rubber and Industry 4.0: material protection and lot traceability as enabling requirements
In the rubber and plastics industry, lot traceability and protection of storage conditions are increasingly required by customer supply chains, including automotive, medical and food. ICAM intelligent solutions support Industry 4.0 requirements through ICON, with ERP integration and automatic FEFO rotation management.

Proven results in the plastics and rubber industry
Injection molders, compound producers and rubber parts manufacturers have chosen ICAM automated storage systems to solve real challenges: molds damaged by improper storage, out-of-condition resins due to absent rotation management, picking errors on nearly identical SKUs. The results speak for themselves.
