OPEX Corporation (Booths B6504 & 6602) is showcasing the Infinity automated storage and retrieval system. Engineered for maximum flexibility and scalability in both throughput and storage, the solution is ideal for multiple applications, including omni-channel distribution, store replenishment, micro-fulfillment and e-commerce.

“The Infinity system offers unparalleled storage density, configurability and flexibility to power business today and in the future,” said Alex Stevens, president of warehouse automation. “This is the next generation of automation.”

The configurable rack design allows for maximum warehouse space utilization around obstructions or other equipment, accommodating various workflows and site layouts. A single Infinity iBOT wireless robotic vehicle travels under the storage structure and passes through the aisles, minimizing distance and saving time. Carrying up to 70 pounds, Infinity iBOTs have access to the entire storage array and deliver totes to decoupled presentation ports outside of the system. The system is easily scalable by adding more iBOTs, presentation ports and grids.
