Advanced Robotics Zrt announced today that it will be the first European systems integrator to sell OPEX Corp.'s Perfect Pick, an automated storage retrieval system, or ASRS, designed for e-commerce fulfillment and micro-fulfillment customers.
Budapest, Hungary-based Advanced Robotics plans to install three Perfect Pick aisles at one of its client's facilities in Hungary. Perfect Pick features intelligent, wireless iBOT vehicles that access inventory in a single aisle, traveling around the storage rack at rates of up to 1,000 dual-cycles per hour, according to OPEX.
Advanced Robotics said it focuses on intelligent logistics solutions that are unique to the Hungarian and CEE regional markets, using robotics as well as artificial intelligence technologies to solve warehouse and factory logistics operations, saving time, energy, and cost.
“Perfect Pick is a great solution for e-commerce fulfillment and micro-fulfillment because of its scalability and narrow footprint,” said Nicolas Dewit, director of business development - Europe, Middle East, and Asia (EMEA) for OPEX Warehouse Automation. “Perfect Pick utilizes a warehouse’s vertical space, increasing throughput, reliability, and effectiveness.”
Advanced Robotics will also sell SureSort item-sorting system
Advanced Robotics will also sell OPEX's Sure Sort, a compact small-item sorting system. Moorestown, NJ-based OPEX said the Sure Sort automated put wall is scalable, configurable, and reduces the number of excessive touches associated with other sorters. It's used by retailers, third-party logistics providers, and distributors that require cost-effective and accurate order handling, parcel sorting, and reverse logistics, it added.
In January, OPEX expanded the capabilities of the SureSort by incorporating radio frequency identification, or RFID.
OPEX will feature their warehouse automation solutions at LogiMAT, Europe’s international trade show for intralogistics solutions and process management, held April 25 to April 27 in Stuttgart, Germany.
OPEX sells more than just warehouse solutions. It also provides automation products for document and mail sorting. Earlier this year, the company opened a new office and showroom demoing its mail technology, including Gemini high-speed scanners, Mail Matrix mail sorters, and Eagle remittance processing systems.
