AutoStore vs inVia Logic

AutoStore develops warehouse robotics and software that automate and coordinate order fulfillment through a cube storage system. The system combines a Controller, Robots, an aluminum Grid, storage Bins, and workstation Ports. Grid layouts can be configured around floorspace, corners, pillars, pipes, and walls. CubeControl coordinates operations and robot traffic, while AutoStore Intelligence optimizes routing with historical and operational data. CubeAnalytics provides system-status monitoring, predictive outlier information, module-performance trends, and dashboards. Open APIs and standard interfaces connect with WMS, ERP, order-management systems, and third-party hardware. The Qubit Fulfillment Platform is built for complex enterprise networks and multi-site operations, with order management, batching, pick-and-pack workflows, replenishment, and inventory tracking that includes lot and expiration control. AutoStore offers cloud deployment, API access, simulation tools, and multi-site management. Pricing is on request. Its Performance per Pick model uses recurring per-pick fees, monthly adjustments, upfront Grid investment, and typically a three-to-five-year minimum term. Qualified partners distribute, install, and service systems.

inVia Logic is an AI-powered warehouse execution system that coordinates inventory, workers, and equipment. It plans and reallocates labor across fulfillment tasks, using SKU hit rates and velocity to guide inventory locations, retrieval paths, and order batching. The system adjusts density, batching, sorting, planning, and cycle time against SLA goals. Dashboards provide live order and fulfillment visibility alongside worker productivity views. APIs and the inVia Connect data translator link it with existing warehouse management systems, and API access is listed. A software-only option combines inVia Logic with PickMate for existing operations and labor; it includes standard reporting and fulfillment workflows, while dynamic inventory reslotting is listed under the automated warehouse option. The maker says implementation can run in parallel with current operations, then remotely operates and optimizes the system from its Robotics Operations Center. AI and machine-learning updates are included. Pricing is on request, with no free plan.
