The Promat Warehouse Automation Technologies: URBX ASRS at Promat, OneTouchDistribution at Promat and UltraStore ASRS at Promat

The ProMat show in Chicago is always an exciting event, bringing together some of the brightest minds in the world of logistics, supply chain, and warehouse automation. This year the URBX ASRS was at Promat, in addition to the UltraStore ASRS at Promat and OneTouchDistribution at Promat.

This year, we at Integrated Systems Design (ISD) were thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge solutions at ProMat 2025. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our booth and took the time to learn more about our innovative technologies and systems integration expertise.

We were proud to feature a range of advanced products designed to optimize warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, and assembly operations and enhance efficiency. If you missed us at the event or would like to learn more about what we showcased, here’s a quick overview of the solutions that caught the attention of many attendees.

URBX ASRS at Promat: A Game Changer in Automated Storage and Retrieval

Introducing 100 lbs. per tote capacity in under 100 feet ceiling. One of the standout highlights at our booth was the URBX ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System). The URBX system is designed for businesses looking to maximize storage capacity while minimizing floor space usage. By employing cutting-edge robotics, intelligent software, and automated processes, the URBX ASRS offers significant improvements in speed, accuracy, and efficiency in warehouse operations. This system is ideal for industries with high-volume inventory, allowing for quick and efficient retrieval of goods, replacing less efficient cube ASRS, AMR based ASRS, and manual rack and shelving systems, or saving dramatic levels of floor space and eliminating manual labor.

Our visitors were particularly impressed by its compact design, flexibility, and ability to handle diverse loads—whether small parts or totes or case storage—while ensuring rapid throughput. The integration of robotics and automation significantly reduces human error and increases operational uptime, making it a perfect solution for any modern distribution center looking to scale quickly and efficiently.

UltraStore Mid-Load ASRS: Maximizing Efficiency in Smaller Spaces

The UltraStore Mid-Load ASRS is a robust, no single point of failure, and cost-effective system designed specifically for mid-load applications. This automated storage and retrieval system maximizes space utilization while maintaining high throughput in environments where every inch of storage space counts. Whether you’re storing heavy pallets or irregularly shaped items, the UltraStore Mid-Load ASRS is designed to optimize the storage and retrieval process.

With its flexible design, easy integration capabilities, and space-saving features, the UltraStore Mid-Load ASRS was a key focus for many of our visitors looking for a flexible goods-to-person system that handles applications such as storage, sequencer, buffer, staging, or sorting. Its ability to handle a variety of product types from totes to cases to pallets with reduced manual labor ensures that it’s a reliable choice for businesses looking to reduce labor costs and improve operational efficiency.

OneTouchDistribution at Promat: Revolutionizing the Distribution Process

Another highlight from our booth was our OneTouchDistribution at Promat system. This innovative solution simplifies the complexities of warehouse management and distribution, offering an intuitive and user-friendly platform to optimize your logistics processes. With OneTouchDistribution at Promat, warehouse managers can track, manage, and control all aspects of their operations from a single interface, streamlining workflows and reducing inefficiencies from receiving to shipping.

The powerful integration of warehouse software with real-time data collection makes it easier for organizations to manage inventory, reduce picking errors, and improve customer satisfaction. Visitors were excited to see how OneTouchDistribution can seamlessly integrate with other systems and dramatically eliminate labor.

The ISD Booth Was Popping!

In the ISD booth, as prospective customers lined up to learn about our products and services, we were serving them freshly popped popcorn! The smell permeated all of McCormick Center and sent people looking for us (and their bag of popcorn). Over the four-day show, we distributed a little under 4,000 bags of popcorn!
