inVia Robotics inVia PickervsKUKA KR QUANTEC

Choose the inVia Robotics inVia Picker for high-volume e-commerce fulfillment or retail distribution centers where mobility and vertical reach are critical. This autonomous mobile robot excels in brownfield warehouse environments where it must navigate aisles to retrieve small-to-medium items from standard shelving up to 8 feet high. Its 2.235 m/s speed and 10-hour runtime with hot-swappable batteries make it ideal for 24/7 goods-to-person operations that require rapid scaling without fixed infrastructure. Select this model if your primary constraint is labor efficiency in picking diverse SKUs weighing under 18.14kg across a large floor area.

Opt for the KUKA KR QUANTEC for heavy-duty manufacturing environments such as automotive assembly lines or large-scale palletizing hubs. With a massive 300kg payload capacity and a 3100mm reach, this 6-axis industrial arm is designed for stationary tasks requiring extreme force and precision, including spot welding or stacking heavy industrial components. Unlike mobile warehouse units, the KR QUANTEC is the superior choice for high-torque applications where structural rigidity and complex path planning via KRL or KUKA|prc are necessary. Choose this if your operation involves fixed-position processing of heavy materials that far exceed the limits of mobile picking systems.
