inVia Logic vs SSI SCHAEFER WAMAS

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.
