Opex debuts picking solution

Opex Corp. has released "Perfect Pick," an automated, high-speed goods-to-person picking solution. The solution uses "iBots," which are intelligent wireless vehicles that have complete access to the inventory in a single aisle.

Unlike traditional shuttle systems that rely on lifts, conveyors, or transfers, the new solution features iBots that travel around inside the storage rack at rates of up to 1,000 dual cycles per hour picking and stocking inventory simultaneously. The devices deliver totes or trays directly to picking stations located at one or both ends of the aisle.
