Hollar Moves Warehouse Cross-Country With Ease Due to inVia Robotics Mobile Robots
Hollar utilizes inVia's Robotics-as-a-Service warehouse automation solution to ease warehouse move while continuing to optimize the goods-to-person fulfillment process
inVia Robotics, the provider of the next generation of robotics warehouse automation solutions for e-commerce fulfillment centers, today announced Hollar, which first deployed its inVia Picker robots and cloud-based Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) management system in February, will be moving its warehouse and inVia warehouse automation system from California to Ohio.
Hollar, the online destination for cool products at deals starting at $1, is moving its warehouse to Cincinnati, OH in January to better serve their customers and manage shipping costs and logistics. The warehouse will be operational immediately within the new space, even while recruiting for new warehouse staff is underway, due to the quick set up of the inVia Picker robots. inVia Robotics, developer of the first economical goods-to-person solution offered as "Robotics-as-a-Service," makes warehouse automation turnkey through integrated robots, software and monitoring that can be fully deployed in days without disruption to existing infrastructure. This allows the Hollar team to easily integrate robots within their new warehouse even if the layout is different from that of the current warehouse.
"Moving our warehouse operations across the country has been made simpler by the inVia Picker robots," said Octavio Reyes, Director of Operations and Systems of Hollar. "Establishing a new warehouse means that layout, staff, and procedures must change, but our throughput efficiency will remain the same because of the adaptability of inVia's Robotics-as-a-Service platform, ultimately allowing us to ensure we provide the best possible customer experience for our shoppers."
The inVia Picker works collaboratively with Hollar's operators to skillfully pick and move items, automating the storage and retrieval process and minimizing operator risk exposure. In the initial deployment, Hollar has increased productivity 300%.
"Establishing warehouse function in a move across the country can be time-consuming and costly for a company aiming to ease their logistics' burden," said Lior Elazary, founder and CEO of inVia Robotics. "inVia's innovative RaaS technology and adaptable robot set up allows our customers the flexibility they need to move or start new warehouses with ease. We're thrilled to continue to support Hollar in deploying our mobile warehouse robots and management system to streamline the company's logistics workflow without impacting its existing ecosystem."
The inVia Robotics warehouse automation solution is available to be deployed nationally across warehouses and distribution centers of all sizes.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
