When changeovers depend on a shared crane across the plant, expensive injection machines spend too much time waiting. In a high-automation plant, that waiting time becomes a direct production cost.
Erack keeps the next mold close to the press and gives the operator a local lifting workflow, so storage, pickup, and installation stay in one machine-side zone.
Main pain points
Shared crane scheduling slows every swap and makes the press wait longer than it should. When the next mold is not staged beside the machine, the whole SMED plan becomes harder to execute.
- Long waits for plant-wide crane access
- High downtime on expensive injection machines
- Too much movement between storage and press
- Harder to keep changeovers consistent
Core value
Erack supports faster changeovers by keeping molds beside the machine and integrating lifting into the local workflow. That helps one operator move from storage to pickup to installation with fewer handoffs and less delay.
It is a practical fit for automated plants that want a distributed storage approach instead of depending on a central crane queue.
