TGW Logistics will further optimize OPEX Corporation’s Infinity® technology. The two companies hope to tap new customers globally.
(Marchtrenk, Austria) The two internationally active automation specialists recently signed a strategic partnership agreement. As part of the collaboration, TGW Logistics is channeling its experience into the further development of OPEX® Corporation’s Infinity® automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS) technology, which will also be implemented in LivePick, TGW Logistics’ innovative new order fulfillment system.

The award-winning OPEX Infinity AS/RS system represents unlimited flexibility and scalability in terms of throughput and storage capacity, making it the ideal solution for small and medium-sized fulfillment projects.
