inVia Robotics is an award-winning automation company that provides the next generation of warehouse optimization solutions. Our system leverages autonomous mobile robots and AI-driven warehouse orchestration software to help eCommerce businesses and 3PLs automate and optimize material flow across fulfillment centers. We deliver our comprehensive automation services as a subscription, and our systems are built to deploy quickly and without disruption to existing operations. The results are a 4-5X increase in productivity and accuracy rates of 99.9% - at a fraction of the cost of traditional automation.
inVia Robotics subscription-based automation service includes AI-driven optimization software, inVia Logic, that brings advanced technology into logistics warehouse operations. The software includes patented innovation that intelligently locates inventory in the warehouse, as well as creates workflows that move goods efficiently through the fulfillment process. inVia algorithms calculate the most efficient paths for workers to take to pick and retrieve goods, the optimal batching of ordered goods to meet daily SLAs, and now the ability to anticipate and avoid aisle congestion.
Warehouse workers are guided by a mobile productivity tool, inVia PickMate, that works on any mobile computing device through every step in the fulfillment process, from picking to putaway. This simple addition of intelligent software delivers 2-3X productivity over non-digitized workflows.
inVia’s system also offers complete automation of fulfillment tasks with inVia Picker mobile robots. They deliver 4-5X increases in productivity, eliminate warehouse walking, and free up workers to do higher-order tasks that require decision-making.
inVia Robotics’ Traffic Quality Index (TQI) algorithm offers several important features to reduce congestion in warehouse aisles, resulting in faster fulfillment cycle times. Three of the most important features include mapping efficient routes, anticipating movements, and dynamically recalculating paths.
TQI is a new feature of the inVia Logic optimization algorithms that map the most efficient pick paths for workers to retrieve ordered goods and batch items based on SKU proximity (limiting the number of trips pickers make to the same aisle). The new algorithm intelligently anticipates the movements required to move goods through the order fulfillment process. When the paths of individual pickers are predicted to overlap and slow down the process, inVia Logic dynamically recalculates those paths to avoid aisle congestion and, ultimately, slowdowns.
Avoiding overlap in the picking process is a core component of how inVia Picker robots are directed to navigate the warehouse, reducing the number of stops and idle time created throughout the day as one robot waits for another to pass by or finish a pick. With TQI, this same technology has been adapted to direct people on warehouse pick paths that avoid overlaps with other workers’ paths. Pickers are able to keep moving quickly.
