OPEX Technology Takes Your Warehouse or Distribution Center to the Next Level with Perfect Pick™ 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. Perfect Pick ™ Features and Benefits Dramatic 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.

Single aisles can be easily expanded by adding modules and/or seamlessly integrating additional aisles into your operation. Energy efficient iBOTs™ store and retrieve totes/trays and can deliver them directly to picking stations at one or both ends of the aisle. www.opex.com ©2013 OPEX Corporation OPEX WORLD HEADQUARTERS 305 Commerce Drive Moorestown, NJ 08057-4234 United States info@opex.com Tel: +1 856.727.1100 Fax: +1 856.727.1955
