About
inVia Robotics is an end-to-end warehouse automation platform that combines artificial intelligence, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and intelligent software to dramatically increase fulfillment efficiency. At its core is a patented Goods-to-Person system that brings inventory directly to human pickers, eliminating wasted walking time and enabling up to a 5x productivity boost with 99.9% accuracy. The platform's AI-powered Warehouse Execution System (WES), called inVia Logic, orchestrates all warehouse workflows—picking, replenishment, inventory management, and labor management—using real-time data and machine learning to minimize errors and maximize throughput. Twin IQ, the platform's intelligent simulation module, allows operations teams to model and optimize warehouse layouts before deployment. inVia's Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model allows businesses to adopt full automation without heavy capital expenditure—paying only per unit of productivity on a subscription basis. The solution integrates with existing warehouse infrastructure, making deployment fast and low-risk. Real-world customers such as Scholastic Canada, Futureshirts, and Gnarlywood have achieved results including 300–1,000% increases in pick rates, 65–70% reductions in labor costs, and dramatic gains in order accuracy. inVia is built for e-commerce, retail distribution, and third-party logistics (3PL) operators seeking scalable, AI-driven automation that adapts to fluctuating demand.
Key Features
- Goods-to-Person Robotic System: Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) bring inventory directly to human pickers, eliminating walking time and boosting pick rates up to 10x.
- AI-Powered Warehouse Execution System (WES): inVia Logic orchestrates all warehouse workflows—picking, replenishment, inventory, and labor—using AI to minimize errors and maximize throughput.
- Twin IQ Intelligent Simulation: Digital twin technology lets teams simulate and optimize warehouse layouts and operations before physical deployment.
- Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) Subscription Model: Pay only for productivity delivered, not upfront capital—includes robots, software, and a dedicated monitoring team.
- Rapid Deployment: Full automation deployable in 1–2 months using existing warehouse infrastructure with minimal disruption.
Use Cases
- E-commerce fulfillment centers looking to scale order volume without proportionally increasing headcount
- Retail distribution warehouses seeking to reduce labor costs and improve pick accuracy during peak seasons
- Third-party logistics (3PL) providers needing flexible, scalable automation to handle diverse client SKU profiles
- Publishing and specialty goods distributors aiming to triple pick rates while cutting operational overhead
- Warehouse operators evaluating automation who want a low-risk, subscription-based entry point before committing to large capital expenditures
Pros
- Dramatic productivity gains: Customers routinely report 300–1,000% increases in pick rates and up to 70% reductions in labor costs.
- Low CapEx barrier: The RaaS pay-per-productivity model removes large upfront investments, making enterprise-grade automation accessible to more businesses.
- Fast deployment with existing infrastructure: The system integrates into current warehouse layouts in as little as 1–2 months, minimizing operational disruption.
- End-to-end AI orchestration: A single platform manages every fulfillment workflow, reducing reliance on fragmented point solutions.
Cons
- Enterprise-focused pricing: The subscription and RaaS model is tailored for mid-to-large warehouse operations; small businesses may find costs prohibitive.
- Physical hardware dependency: Full value requires deploying AMR hardware on-site, which involves facilities coordination and ongoing maintenance.
- Limited transparency on pricing: Exact subscription costs are not publicly listed; companies must request a custom demo and quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS)?
RaaS is inVia's subscription model where you pay per unit of productivity—picks completed, orders fulfilled—rather than purchasing robots and software outright. It includes the hardware, software, and a dedicated support team.
How long does deployment take?
inVia's system can typically be deployed in 1–2 months using a warehouse's existing infrastructure, with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
What is Twin IQ?
Twin IQ is inVia's intelligent warehouse simulation tool that creates a digital twin of your facility, letting you model and optimize operations before committing to physical changes.
What types of businesses use inVia?
inVia serves e-commerce brands, retail distributors, 3PL providers, and publishing distributors—any business running high-volume order fulfillment operations.
Does inVia work with existing warehouse infrastructure?
Yes. inVia is designed to integrate into existing floor space and systems, eliminating the need for costly facility redesigns or new building construction.
