OPEX® Honored with Warehouse Automation Solution of the Year Award for First-of-its-Kind Cold Storage Solution

MOORESTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OPEX^® Corporation, a global leader in Next Generation Automation providing innovative solutions for warehouse, document and mail automation, has been honored by Logistics Matters magazine with the 2026 Warehouse Solution of the Year Award. OPEX was recognized for the company’s first-of-its-kind, multi-temperature zone, multi-deep cold storage solution for automated warehouse fulfillment systems, enabled through a strategic technology partnership with cold chain commerce innovator Peltier. The collaboration introduced advanced, multi-temperature capabilities to OPEX’s industry-leading Perfect Pick^® and Infinity^® automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) through the addition of the Peltier Tote™.

“We’re deeply honored to receive such distinguished recognition by Logistics Matters magazine,” said Monty McVaugh, Head of Product, Warehouse Automation, OPEX. “By integrating Peltier’s tote technology into the existing framework of Perfect Pick and Infinity, OPEX can deliver a flexible, scalable, efficient, and environmentally friendly cold storage solution. It’s a breakthrough approach that enables seamless storage and fulfillment of ambient, refrigerated and frozen products within a single AS/RS.”

The option to add Peltier Totes to OPEX AS/RS solutions empowers customers in the grocery, pharmaceutical and life sciences markets to store and retrieve chilled and frozen products in an ambient warehouse environment, eliminating the need for costly freezer chambers or specialized infrastructure. The tote is designed with precise, individually controlled temperature setpoints and IoT connectivity, offering real-time monitoring and management of storage conditions through integrated API messages. Power is provided to each tote while in multi-deep storage, and temperatures are maintained during transport by OPEX iBOT^® robotic vehicles, ensuring continuous cold chain integrity.
