OVER 40 YEARS OF AchiEVing WORkFlOW ExcEllEncE

Through Advanced Technology SolutionsSince 1973, OPEX Corporation has provided

productivity enhancing workflow solutions to thousands

of organizations around the world. Our innovative

technologies set the standard in process optimization

and allow our customers to achieve the efficiency and

accuracy required to compete in today’s

global marketplace.

These proven technologies and innovative designs have

made OPEX uniquely suited to provide superior solutions

to the material handling industry. We efficiently and

reliably handle everything from single-piece items, like

envelopes, documents, and checks, to 60-pound payloads

using our Perfect Pick™ warehouse and distribution

center system—the automated, high-speed, goods-to-

person picking solution unlike anything that exists in the

marketplace today.

OPEX is dedicated to providing the highest quality

products and service throughout the product life-cycle.

We control all aspects of production. Every product is

designed, engineered, manufactured, and tested in our

U.S. facilities by our own dedicated employees. And every

OPEX product is manufactured using renewable energy

from our 100% solar powered facilities, making

Perfect Pick a standout green solution.

Our extensive, industry-leading service organization

consists of a strong network of locally based, factory-

trained field technicians that provide service worldwide.

Our service technicians are all OPEX employees, not

subcontractors, allowing our 24/7 customer support

center to respond rapidly, supporting our valued

customers every step of the way.

Simply put, the success of OPEX Corporation has been

built on technological innovation, product quality, and

unmatched customer service and support. And we now

offer these timeless qualities and values to the material

handling industry.

OPEX understands that the challenges facing the

manufacturing and order fulfillment industries have

never been greater. Today’s warehouses and distribution

centers are under enormous pressure to optimize

operations and keep pace with current demand, while

also supporting future growth.

Issues range from how to best support multi-channel

distribution while effectively managing seasonal

fluctuations and processing order returns, to meeting

customer expectations regarding delivery times.

So when it comes to automation, you need a solution that

maximizes productivity, ensures high order accuracy,

proves to be cost effective, and demonstrates the

flexibility needed to adapt to the ever-changing supply

chain landscape. You need OPEX Perfect Pick.

Perfect Pick is a unique, goods-to-person picking solution

that dramatically improves the rate and efficiency of

goods moving through a warehouse or distribution center.

Highly scalable and flexible, Perfect Pick is engineered

to simplify the complexity associated with other shuttle

technologies in the market today. Perfect Pick’s

revolutionary “one-touch” design is based on a single

component, the iBOT™. iBOTs are intelligent, wireless

vehicles with 100% access to the inventory in a single aisle.

Perfect Pick is based on the proven, patented technology of

the OPEX Mail Matrix™ which debuted in 2007. The energy

efficient iBOTs navigate along the track integrated within

the racking system, storing and retrieving totes/trays and

delivering them directly to the picking station at one or both

ends of the aisle – no elevators, conveyors or transfers.

OPEx Technology Takes Your Warehouse or Distribution center to the next level with Perfect Pick™

PErfECT PICk™ fEATUrES And BEnEfITSDramatic Productivity Improvement: Perfect Pick’s revolutionary design results in industry-leading throughput. The wireless iBOTs™

are programmed to achieve maximum traffic efficiency. They deliver totes/trays directly to the picking station located at one or both

ends of the aisle and once the pick is completed, a new iBOT immediately appears for the next pick – no waiting or searching aisles

for the next item.

Unmatched Flexibility: Perfect Pick is highly scalable in both size and speed. Single aisles can be easily expanded by simply adding

modules and additional aisles can be seamlessly integrated into your operation. And with the iBOTs operating independently from the

racking system, they can be introduced or removed in a matter of minutes – allowing you to quickly adapt throughput rates to

ever-changing business demands and cycles.

Reduced Operational Costs: Perfect Pick eliminates the need for costly and unreliable components like elevators, conveyors or

transfers. Perfect Pick delivers substantial operational savings through reduced labor costs and increased operational efficiencies.

The iBOTs are powered by onboard ultracapacitors which capture regenerated energy during continuous normal operation, making

them extremely energy efficient. And implementation is quick and efficient, providing a faster return on investment.

Fast, Easy, and Accurate Picking: Perfect Pick’s traffic control software monitors the position of each and every iBOT, directing their

movements throughout the system for maximum accuracy and efficiency. Text and visual prompts on picking monitors direct the

operator to choose the required items from the tote/tray and to place them in the appropriate order boxes. When the operator

indicates the final pick is complete, the software releases the current tote and the next tote is immediately placed in position for the

next picking sequence.

Maximum Cube Utilization: Perfect Pick is uniquely compact. Its small footprint better utilizes warehouse and distribution center

space from floor to ceiling. Its high storage density also makes it a great choice for staging or buffering.

Highly Reliable: Perfect Pick provides system redundancy and reliability with no single point of failure. With the design based on a

single automated component, you can quickly and easily extract or introduce an iBOT into the system without any major disruption to

ongoing operations.

Ergonomic Design: Perfect Pick’s iBOTs follow a geared track system integrated into the storage rack. The vertical runs at the ends of

the aisle form a bumpout configuration that tilts the iBOTs toward the picker for enhanced operator comfort while picking or stocking.
