MOORESTOWN, N.J. - Tuesday, 30. April 2024
(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
aspects including aesthetic appeal, functionality, and smart or
