Increased Density. Greater Flexibility.

Perfect Pick® HD provides twice the storage of a single Perfect Pick aisle without sacrificing throughput for storage capacity. Rather, with this increased aisle density, customers have greater flexibility to slot items across their warehouse, eliminating zones and streamlining their process. Perfect Pick HD provides standalone point order fulfillment automation — an aisle that is comprised of modular, high-density racking that stores custom totes on each side — two deep.

Unique in the industry, Perfect Pick HD’s Connect & Collect™ feature makes access to inventory simple and quick. As a double-ended automated warehouse order picking system, Perfect Pick HD can vastly improve pick rates with an operator filling orders from each pick station.

Replenishment or restocking of inventory on Perfect Pick HD can be accomplished while orders are being picked, providing increased labor productivity and improved inventory accuracy. Coupled with OPEX’s over-height detect, jams due to overflowing totes are virtually eliminated at the point of replenishment.

iBOT Technology. Scalable Throughput.

Perfect Pick HD runs on a single automated component, the iBOT®, designed to deliver payloads up to 80 lbs. Powered by onboard ultracapacitors, iBOTs quickly capture regenerated energy during continuous operation, making them reliable and exceptionally energy-efficient.

iBOTs are bi-directional, moving both horizontally and vertically, giving them access to 100% of the storage locations in their aisle. OPEX traffic control software monitors the position of all order picking bots and directs their movements for maximum efficiency and throughput.

iBOTs are autonomous vehicles that communicate on a wireless connection. They can be added or removed from the system in a matter of minutes without causing a disruption to ongoing operations. This ability to introduce and remove iBOTs from the system allows operations to scale and adjust quickly to meet ever-changing order fulfillment demands and business cycles.

Accurate Picking. Integrated Workflow.

Perfect Pick HD’s ergonomic workstation is integrated into the aisle itself at one or both ends — either at ground or mezzanine level. Replenishment can be done in a number of ways including picking at one end while putting at the other, or picking and putting simultaneously.

Screen-and light-directed picking make Perfect Pick HD incredibly accurate. As individual items are picked from Perfect Pick HD, they are placed directly into containers or totes on the scalable OPEX workstation. Once the operator completes an order, the container is transferred for final shipment and another order indexes forward on the workstation’s conveyor.
