\n Molds, resins and technical components protected and always available: from injection molding to distribution\n <\/h2>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n Injection molders and plastics processors <\/span>
Molds protected and spare parts always available\n <\/h2>\n \n
\n 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.
\r\n
\r\nWith 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. \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

\n Compound, masterbatch and resin processors<\/span>
Shelf life and storage conditions under control\n <\/h2>\n \n
\n 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.
\r\n
\r\nWith ICAM automated storage systems you organize storage by material family and lot, maintain full inventory visibility and guarantee correct rotation automatically.\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n

\n Manufacturers of technical rubber products
Thousands of SKUs and no room for error\n <\/h2>\n \n
\n 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.
\r\n
\r\nWith 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. \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n
