IN Brief:
- OPEX will demonstrate Sure Sort X with Xtract at LogiMAT 2026.
- Perfect Pick AS/RS and iBOT vehicle technology will also feature.
- Multi-temperature tote handling is moving from niche to mainstream automation specs.
OPEX Corporation will exhibit its latest warehouse automation systems at LogiMAT 2026, with demonstrations scheduled in Hall 5, Stand B25, at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Center from March 24 to 26. The company is putting its Sure Sort X with Xtract system at the centre of the show, positioning it as a compact, high-density approach to automating sorting, retrieval, and packaging workflows.
“Our team looks forward to being onsite at LogiMAT and showcasing several of our leading warehouse automation solutions,” said Alex Stevens, President, Warehouse Automation, OPEX. “We’re proud to deliver cutting-edge systems that help our clients transform how they conduct business, and we appreciate the vast opportunity LogiMAT provides to share our offerings and expertise with event attendees.”
OPEX described Sure Sort X with Xtract as a turnkey system intended to replace multiple manual touches with a one-touch process, combining sortation with automated pack-out and order takeaway. The company said the modular footprint is aimed at high-volume e-commerce and fulfilment sites, where the constraint is often not absolute building size but the usable cube available for sort locations, staging, and downstream pack stations.
Alongside the live system, OPEX said it will show a static display of its Perfect Pick automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) and its iBOT robotic vehicles used in the Infinity AS/RS and Xtract environments. The company framed Perfect Pick as a goods-to-person approach engineered to raise throughput and accuracy while reducing travel and labour intensity at the pick face, with tote input and output handling intended to integrate with warehouse control systems and support varied tote sizes and layout choices.
A notable addition is the Peltier Tote, introduced by OPEX in January 2026, which the company describes as an actively cooled, AI-enabled tote with multiple temperature zones. OPEX said it is compatible with its Infinity and Perfect Pick AS/RS solutions and is aimed at customers handling chilled and frozen inventory, where cold-room infrastructure, energy use, and segregation rules can become the limiting factor in automation design.
The company is also using the event to push structured pre-sales engagement. It said attendees can schedule 15-minute sessions to review operating requirements and receive an automation roadmap, ROI ranges, and next-step recommendations based on throughput targets, labour constraints, and footprint limitations. That emphasis reflects a market where automation projects are increasingly gated by implementation risk and integration clarity as much as by hardware performance.
With European operators facing sustained labour pressure and higher performance expectations from retail and parcel channels, the LogiMAT floor has become less about novelty and more about deployment realism: density, flexibility, maintenance philosophy, and the ability to scale without re-laying the building. OPEX’s pitch is that the system architecture can be fitted to those constraints, rather than requiring sites to be rebuilt around the machine.
