Portland warehouse managers face extraordinary challenges: escalating labor costs, mounting customer requirements for speedier delivery, and expanding order complexity. For supply chain executives seeking competitive advantages, inVia Robotics presents a powerful path forward through intelligent warehouse automation.

Tackling Modern Warehouse Challenges

Traditional warehouse operations face challenges with contemporary e-commerce demands. As opposed to conventional automation necessitating huge facility redesigns and capital investments, inVia Robotics revolutionized the industry with their Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model. This approach makes it possible for warehouses of all sizes to obtain enterprise-level automation without traditional barriers.

How inVia's Technology Works

inVia's system comprises three integrated components designed to optimize warehouse operations. inVia Logic, the AI-powered warehouse execution system acts as the intelligent brain, coordinating workflows and making over one million daily decisions to ensure SLA compliance. This software analyzes inventory data, workforce performance, and order profiles to dynamically assign tasks. Autonomous inVia Picker robots handle physical automation, with compact dimensions and a 40-pound payload capacity. These robots operate with industrial precision, utilizing suction cup technology while navigating aisles at speeds approaching 5 mph. Different from traditional AMRs relying on human workers, inVia Pickers independently build dynamic inVia PickerWalls for offshift operations. The Robotics Operations Center (ROC) supplies round-the-clock support and monitoring. This remote system uses live simulations to in advance spot potential bottlenecks before impacting operations.

Proven Results Across Industries

Practical deployments demonstrate inVia's significant impact. SICK Sensor Intelligence accomplished a remarkable ten-fold increase in pick rates, leaping from 75 UPH to 764 UPH while securing full ROI within six months. A single inVia customer tripled productivity while slashing labor costs by 70%. Another reduced their labor costs by 65% and increased productivity sixfold. These results come from inVia's software-first approach. In contrast to commencing with expensive hardware, inVia Logic enhances existing workflows first, producing immediate 2-3X productivity gains before deploying robots for four to five times overall improvements.

Flexible Implementation Without Disruption

Implementation is a concern for warehouse operators who can't tolerate disruptions. inVia tackles this through a streamlined five-step process implementing automation in weeks, not months. The system links with existing WMS through APIs and adapts to current layouts, removing infrastructure modifications. Twin IQ intelligent simulation technology lessens implementation risks by generating digital twins of warehouse operations. This tool permits managers to evaluate scenarios and optimize workflows before physical changes, ensuring maximum day-one efficiency.

Scalable Solutions for Growing Operations

The inVia phased approach addresses different automation stages. Operations begin with software-only solutions, advance to automated labor with robotic picking, and eventually achieve fully automated capabilities. This flexibility allows growing automation investments alongside growth while maintaining continuity. The monthly subscription model synchronizes costs with usage, preventing large capital expenditures while providing predictable expenses. inVia maintains, owns, and operates all equipment throughout service contracts, minimizing internal overhead.
