Summary of Innovation
Introduced in March 2022, OPEX® Corporation's Infinity™ automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) represents the next generation in goods-to-person (G2P) technology for warehouse automation. This innovative solution combines unparalleled storage density, configurability, and flexibility, with the full capabilities of the company’s proprietary Cortex® software platform, to power business now and in the future. The Infinity system's wireless Infinity iBOT® robotic vehicles can access all inventory and port stations, moving freely underneath and throughout the system without any wasted mechanical motion, saving time and costs. Each iBOT can carry up to 70 pounds. Unlike other competitive systems, the Infinity solution offers up to 35 percent more storage capacity with bot paths that are up to 65 percent more efficient. Automated G2P technology delivers the right item or SKU at the right time to the right operator or workstation, increasing productivity, throughput, and labor utilization. The system utilizes a unique interlocking system to store totes triple-deep, and the configurable rack design optimizes warehouse space despite any obstructions that may exist, such as columns or other equipment. To accommodate growing demands, the Infinity AS/RS is easily scalable by adding more iBOTs, presentation ports, and grids. This solution is ideal for multiple applications, including omni-channel distribution, store replenishment, micro-fulfillment, and e-commerce. The Infinity AS/RS is compact, scalable, configurable, reliable, efficient, and secure.
