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 innovative engineering, with all of
these attributes demonstrating outstanding design as a common
theme.
