inVia Robotics is building PickerWall into brownfield warehouse picking

inVia?s SICK case study records 20 inVia Picker robots at SICK?s Minnesota facility. The case reports a 10X unit-level pick-rate increase, a 6X line-level pick-rate increase, and ROI in less than six months.

The brownfield constraint was deployment without disrupting existing operations or service-level commitments. PickerWall lets inVia Picker robots bring inventory to a dynamic pick-and-put wall, where associates can work at a concentrated station instead of walking the facility.

inVia Logic calculates and synchronizes inventory movement for the workflow. The company?s broader site positions the model as subscription-based automation using existing infrastructure, giving warehouses a path to add robots without shutting down or rebuilding around a new fixed system.

inVia was founded in 2015 and is associated with Lior Elazary, whose earlier robotics work included consumer and telepresence robots before warehouse automation. The company?s strategy is less about owning the whole warehouse and more about adding a robot-and-software layer inside facilities customers already operate.

The competitive field includes Locus Robotics, 6 River Systems, GreyOrange, Caja Robotics, Exotec, RightHand Robotics, and goods-to-person integrators. inVia?s distinction is the brownfield subscription model: mobile robots, logic software, and PickerWall stations designed to raise throughput without a full ASRS conversion.

Public material does not show SKU mix, pick-error rate, intervention frequency, uptime by shift, labor baseline after rollout, pricing per robot, renewal terms, or service response time. The SICK record is still valuable because it gives a customer site, robot count, productivity claims, and no-downtime implementation context.

PickerWall tests whether warehouse automation can arrive as an operating layer instead of a construction project. If inVia keeps turning existing aisles into high-throughput pick stations, the company can sell robotic productivity to brownfield sites that need speed without waiting for a new building.
