Deepsky vs inVia Logic

Deepsky is a warehouse execution system from Exotec that links a warehouse management system to warehouse automation through one orchestration layer. It covers processes from receiving and storage to order preparation and dispatch. Using real-time information, it coordinates order release, replenishment, and picking, while planning around logistics constraints such as truck departure schedules. It identifies the contents and locations of bins, cases, and containers; dashboards show live KPIs, system status, and performance insights. Deepsky coordinates robots and operators and can prioritize actions. Exotec says it communicates with robots, conveyors, automated arms, scales, carton formers, and labelling machines regardless of communication protocol. It can aggregate real-time and historical data from Exotec robots and third-party suppliers, and supports multi-site management, API access, and simulation tools. Exotec describes it as workflow-based and says software updates continue after go-live. Its server is duplicated for backup, and the company offers 24/7 Control Center assistance and maintenance contracts. Pricing and availability are on request; the product page directs prospective customers to contact Exotec.

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.
