A method (200) for controlling the manufacture of rubber products produced by a rubber-product manufacturing system (100) utilizes the output from an olfactory-profiles model as an identification of the physicochemical properties of the rubber mixture in the process of being produced in the production facility (110). A system (100) for manufacturing rubber products performs a method (200) for controlling the manufacture of rubber products, the system including a production facility (110) that implements successive mixing steps, an odor detection device (120) that captures ambient air of the production facility in order to obtain at least one gas sample during the mixing cycle, and a control subsystem (130) that employs an olfactory-profiles model based on the physicochemical properties of the rubber mixtures recognized by surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
