Sure Sort® X with Xtract™

Order Retrieval and Delivery

Automated Pack-out and Takeaway System

Seamless Order Retrieval, Transfer, and Fulfillment

OPEX® Sure Sort® X with Xtract™ was specifically engineered to combat labor shortage challenges by automating three fundamental aspects of order fulfillment: the sorting retrieval and removal of completed orders.

Meet Sure Sort X with Xtract

Automated Order Takeaway

The new OPEX Sure Sort X with Xtract is the only fully adaptable, turnkey solution on the market developed to address labor shortage challenges by automating key aspects of order fulfillment―high-speed sortation through consolidating batch- or wave-picked inventory and the previously manual order takeaway process―with a return on investment often realized within just two years.

OPEX Xtract is an optional feature for Sure Sort X that automates the order takeaway process. The Xtract iBOT®s retrieve totes containing sorted orders and dispense them into the proper container, including shipping boxes, for downstream processing.

Xtract iBOTs

Xtract iBOTs efficiently retrieve Xtract Totes carrying up to 30 lbs (13.61 kg). They operate alongside Sure Sort X iBOTs, communicating wirelessly with the traffic controller and self-charging during movement. They can be easily added or removed for flexibility.

Xtract Tote 

Xtract Totes efficiently transport items from sorting to the Xtract system of Sure Sort X, where Xtract iBOTs move them to the RVT Module. The tote doors open, bomb bay style, releasing items onto a conveyor belt that loads them into the final order box or container.

RVT (Roller, V-Chute, Transfer) Modules 

These modules transfer items from Xtract Totes into containers, such as order boxes, staging them for efficient processing. Supporting various container types and up to five modules, the system can sort up to 1,800 items per hour. 

Xtract Tote Input & Output (I/O) Modules 

The Tote I/O Module shuffles Xtract Totes in and out of the Sure Sort X, allowing them to be routed to a pack station for transfer to a customer’s tote or box, ready for downstream palletization.
