“The Infinity solution represents the next generation of goods-to-person technology to perfectly complement our existing Warehouse Automation product line.”
Powered by OPEX’s proprietary Cortex™ software platform, the Infinity G2P solution is engineered for maximum flexibility and scalability in both throughput and storage. Key benefits include reducing labor while increasing efficiency, storage density, and configurability.
Wireless Infinity iBOT® robotic vehicles access all inventory and port stations, moving freely underneath and throughout the system with no wasted mechanical motion, saving time and costs. Infinity iBOT robots are easily scalable by adding more iBOTs, presentation ports, and grids.
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.
The Infinity goods-to-person system utilizes a unique interlocking system to store totes triple-deep, eliminating wasted space and maximizing storage density. A configurable rack design optimizes warehouse space despite obstructions that may exist, such as columns or other equipment. The Infinity system’s flexibility also accommodates varied workflows and layouts.
