(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- OPEX® Corporation, a global leader in Next Generation
Automation for almost 50 years, is proud to announce its Infinity®
automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) has been recognized with
the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2024. The annual Red Dot
Award design competition is regarded as one of the best-known and
largest in the world, with winners selected by an international panel of
experts who follow the credo, “In search of good design and
innovation.”
“We are honored that our Infinity AS/RS has been
named the winner of the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2024,” said Alex
Stevens, President of Warehouse Automation, OPEX. “At OPEX, we’re
continuously developing products and introducing new technology that
will help our clients solve their most significant business challenges.
Receiving this award demonstrates the significant effort our development
team invested to bring Infinity to market.”
OPEX Corporation’s
Infinity AS/RS is a goods-to-person technology solution for warehouse
automation, designed to combine unparalleled storage density,
configurability and flexibility, and increase productivity, throughput
and labor utilization. The system features wireless Infinity iBOT®
robotic vehicles that can access the entirety of inventory and port
stations, moving freely underneath and throughout the system without any
wasted mechanical motion, saving both time and cost.
The
Infinity AS/RS 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. This solution is easily scalable by adding more iBOTs,
presentation ports and storage expansion modules. With its unmatched
reliability and accelerated throughput, the Infinity solution is ideal
for multiple applications, including omni-channel distribution, store
replenishment, micro-fulfillment and ecommerce.
“OPEX is
committed to delivering advanced technology that transforms our clients’
supply chain infrastructure,” said Monty McVaugh, Head of Product,
Warehouse Automation, OPEX. “The Infinity AS/RS has been meticulously
engineered to improve workflow, reduce costs and drive efficiencies. Our
team is deeply grateful this innovative solution is being recognized
with the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2024.”
The coveted Red Dot
distinction serves as the internationally recognized seal of
outstanding design quality. This annual competition is divided into
three disciplines: Product Design, Brands & Communication Design,
and Design Concept. Award winners are honored at the Red Dot Gala in
Essen, Germany, and featured in the Red Dot yearbook, museum and online.
The
2024 Red Dot Award: Product Design jury was comprised of 39 experts
from 20 countries across four continents. Submissions were received from
60 different countries. Award winners were selected based on numerous
