AUTOMATED SOLUTIONS FOR THE PLASTIC & RUBBER INDUSTRY

Confronting Main Challenges in the Plastic and Rubber Industry

Companies in the Plastic and Rubber Industry face several specific challenges in inventory management and material handling, which are crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and competitiveness. 

Variety of Products and Materials
The plastic and rubber industry produces a wide range of products with varying shapes, sizes, and properties. Managing such diversity in inventory requires sophisticated storage and retrieval systems to ensure the right product is available at the right time.

Storage Conditions
Certain plastic and rubber products may require specific storage conditions (like temperature or humidity control) to preserve their quality and properties. Implementing and maintaining these conditions can complicate inventory management and material handling processes.

Quality Control and Compliance
Ensuring product quality and compliance with industry standards and regulations requires meticulous tracking and documentation of raw materials and production processes, adding complexity to inventory management.

Environmental Concerns
There is growing pressure on the plastics and rubber industry to improve sustainability practices, including recycling, reducing waste, and developing biodegradable alternatives. 

Raw Material Price Volatility
Prices for raw materials, such as crude oil (a primary source for plastics) and natural rubber, can be highly volatile. This volatility makes it challenging for companies to forecast costs and manage inventory levels effectively.

To address these challenges companies in the plastics and rubber industry are turning to automated solutions.
