"As the original innovators in the mixed item sortation space, we've spent years redefining what's possible-and we continue to push the boundaries today. Our most recent innovation provides a turnkey solution for sorting, retrieval, and delivery of goods and we're proud to present it for the first time in Europe."
Making its debut at Booth A100 is OPEX Sure Sort® X with OPEX Xtract the next generation in high-speed automated sortation and order retrieval. Introduced in 2024, Sure Sort X with Xtract is the only fully adaptable, turnkey offering in the marketplace that automates multiple manual tasks sorting, retrieving and packaging orders with a one-touch solution, increasing efficiency and directly addressing labor challenges.
The most versatile and robust industrial sorting solution available, Sure Sort X is unmatched in its compact footprint, performance rates, cost-effectiveness and adaptability to meet specific needs. When Sure Sort X is paired with Xtract OPEX's revolutionary new automated order retrieval system the task of retrieving totes and transferring their contents into shipping containers is fully automated as well, eliminating the need to manually sort and transfer boxes downstream.
OPEX Sure Sort X with Xtract has been shortlisted in two categories for The Archies Awards, celebrating excellence in the material handling and intralogistics sectors. The newest OPEX system was nominated in the categories of Excellence in Automation and Technology Innovator. Award winners will be announced at IMHX on September 10, 2025.
Earlier this year, Sure Sort with Xtract was recognized with the prestigious Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025.
