(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.

Longstanding experience, shared values

Not only do OPEX and TGW Logistics each boast approximately 50 years of experience in the automation industry, but they also share values and a strong focus on corporate culture.

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. Infinity robots can move freely along both the vertical and horizontal axes, ensuring highly efficient use of the available space.
