ProMat 2025: Mobile robots, robot arms, ASRS and more on display

OPEX Sure Sort X represents a robust industrial sorting offering in a compact footprint. This universal system can handle nearly 100% of customer-sortable items weighing up to 20 pounds (9 kg), and sort items into a configurable array of bin sizes and types. When paired with Xtract, OPEX’s new automated order retrieval system, retrieving totes and transferring its contents into shipping containers becomes fully automated. The system’s iBOT delivery vehicles utilize motion algorithms that allow them to efficiently maneuver throughout the system, and change destination while in transit. These iBOTs can drive in and out of the system while Sure Sort X continues to run, ensuring high levels of uptime and availability. In addition, Sure Sort X can operate in both chilled and ambient environments. OPEX Xtract can be added to any Sure Sort X system by introducing retrieval iBOTs to work in conjunction with the traditional sortation iBOTs found in Sure Sort X. OPEX, Booth S631
