OPEX ® Corporation, the global leader in next-generation automation for nearly 50 years, is showcasing innovative warehouse automation technology to attendees at IMHX , the event dedicated to intralogistics aimed at professionals in the handling, flow and transport of goods throughout the supply chain. IMHX 2022 will be held September 5-9 at the Birmingham National Exhibition Center .

This is the first time that OPEX will be exhibiting at IMHX and the first presentation of the company's Sure Sort® robotic sorting system at a trade show in the UK.

“Sure Sort is a cost-effective and scalable alternative to traditional sorting walls,” said Nicolas Dewit, Business Development Manager for OPEX Warehouse Automation in Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA). "It is the ideal e-commerce solution for micro-execution centers, retail businesses and distribution centers characterized by a minimal footprint and requiring high precision, extreme speed and high productivity within a system that does not intensify the workload. »

Sure Sort's robotic distribution vehicles, iBOTs®, quickly process up to 2,400 items per hour with high accuracy while requiring only three operators. They recharge throughout operations. Sure Sort will be showcased at IMHX 2022, Booth 5D115, where attendees can speak with OPEX operators to better understand what the system can do for their business.

Already used by leading retailers, third party logistics providers and distributors specializing in handling, cross-docking and sorting parcels, the Sure Sort solution will be installed in several leading UK companies such as Boux Avenue, part of retail group Theo Paphitis, and third-party logistics provider Torque.
