High-mix, low-volume molding plants run on changeovers. If every mold swap depends on a shared crane or a forklift queue, the machine waits and the delivery schedule slips.

Erack keeps molds beside the machine and gives the operator a direct lifting path, so storage, pickup, and installation can happen in one working zone.

Main pain points

When the rack is far from the machine or the lifting equipment is shared, changeovers take longer than they should. That hurts dispatch timing and makes the whole cell less predictable.

  • Waiting for shared crane access
  • Long travel between mold storage and press
  • Too much downtime during frequent changeovers
  • Hard to keep SMED timing consistent

Core value

Erack supports flexible injection mold handling with a machine-side storage position and integrated hoist workflow. That makes it easier for one operator to move from storage to lifting to changeover without extra waiting.

It is a practical fit for lean teams that need faster swaps and better control of high-frequency production.
