Robust, modular robotics and expert training can solve India’s manufacturing challenges

By August 1, 2025 7:02 pm IST

India’s smart factories are no longer a distant vision; rather, they are here and growing fast. This shift is ignited by smart automation blending robotics, AI/ML, IoT, digital twins, and cloud systems to enhance agility and precision. Anil Kumar, Managing Director of Inovance Technology India, shares, “We are proud to support this transformation by equipping Indian OEMs with world-class automation and motion control solutions.”

Could you walk us through the automation solutions you’ve deployed and the value they’ve brought to your production line?

We have implemented a wide range of automation solutions in India, such as servo drives, PLCs, HMIs, and complete motion control systems. Our EtherCAT-based servo drives have been transformative for the packaging, textile, and electronics sectors. It delivers microsecond-level communication and real-time feedback for better synchronisation and throughput.

For example, one of our recent projects involved a paint container filling line, where we integrated our motion controllers and high-performance servo systems. The result was a fully synchronised, high-speed packaging solution with improved fill accuracy, reduced waste, and significant downtime reduction. Our robotic portfolio, including SCARA and 6-axis robots, is being deployed in industries where precision assembly, pick-and-place, and repetitive tasks require speed and consistency.

What are the key environmental and operational challenges Indian manufacturers face when implementing robotics and automation?

Indian manufacturing floors are incredibly diverse, from small workshops to large, automated plants. However, challenges such as unregulated ambient temperatures, voltage fluctuations, dust-prone environments, and non-uniform skill levels of workers make robotics integration more complex. We are aware of these hurdles, and we try to solve them by offering rugged, temperature-tolerant hardware, easy-to-program interfaces, and modular systems that allow phased automation. We also provide in-depth training and post-deployment support to ensure smooth transitions and minimal learning curves.

How are automation solutions being adapted for safe integration on Indian shopfloors?

Safety is a critical factor in any automation deployment. On Indian shopfloors, robotic and automated systems must operate without disrupting existing workflows or compromising operator well-being. Our solutions come with advanced safety protocols, including emergency stops, guarded zones, and fail-safe redundancies. Collaborative robots (cobots), designed to work safely alongside humans, are also becoming integral in industries like electronics and packaging. We are actively developing cobot-integrated solutions that focus on safety, ease of use, and adaptability for Indian MSMEs and OEMs alike.

How is Inovance supporting the digital transformation of Indian manufacturing through its automation and motion control solutions?

Our automation solutions are aligned with the digital roadmap of Indian manufacturing. Our smart controllers and drives are IIoT-enabled, allowing seamless data integration, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance. This digital connectivity improves uptime, efficiency and allows manufacturers to make real-time decisions based on actionable insights. We are also actively integrating digital technologies to simulate and optimise production environments before actual deployment, helping customers reduce errors, downtime, and commissioning costs.

What industries in India are seeing the fastest adoption of Inovance solutions, and what are the key use cases?

We are seeing rapid adoption of Inovance solutions in packaging for high-speed filling, sealing, and labelling with precise motion control. Another is the textiles industry, where yarn winding, knitting, and fabric cutting require coordinated servo control. There is notable growth in the food & beverage sector for robotic pick-and-place, sorting, and safe handling. Electronics & assembly requires SCARA robots and motion control for handling miniaturised and high-precision tasks.

How are your offerings aligned with Industry 4.0 requirements?

Our entire product ecosystem, from HMIs and PLCs to servo systems and robotic arms, is designed to support Industry 4.0. We provide scalable automation with real-time communication protocols like EtherCAT and Modbus, cloud-connectivity features, and integration-ready platforms for MES and ERP systems. We understand that every Indian manufacturer is on a unique digital journey. We offer flexible, future-proof solutions that can evolve with industry needs.
