As global supply chains evolve and manufacturing becomes smarter, OEMs need agile automation partners to deliver local adaptability and international quality. At Inovance Technology, we empower OEMs with intelligent, industry-specific solutions that drive resilience, innovation, and scalable growth—both in India and worldwide.

Mr. Anil Kumar, Managing Director, Inovance Technology India

What role do you see Inovance playing in helping global OEMs diversify and de-risk their supply chains while maintaining production quality and agility across borders?  

OEMs today are looking to rebalance production footprints, focusing on diversifying supplier bases, establishing regional manufacturing hubs, and leveraging local talent to mitigate global uncertainties. Inovance plays a key role in this transformation by offering vertically integrated R&D and manufacturing capabilities. Our ability to deliver consistent quality, standardised protocols, and rapid local service support positions us as a dependable global partner.

For instance, our advanced motion control systems and servo solutions are deployed across diverse markets with region-specific customisations, enabling OEMs to scale efficiently without compromising performance.

From your experience, what are the most important traits global OEMs now look for in their automation partners, and how is Inovance evolving to meet those expectations?

From my engagement with leading OEMs, I’ve observed three traits that are now non-negotiable in automation partnerships:

Responsiveness & Local Support

• Integration Readiness (with Industry 4.0 compatibility)

• Engineering Depth with Cost Efficiency

Inovance is constantly evolving to meet these expectations. Our automation solutions are designed with modular, open interfaces that integrate seamlessly with third-party systems and IIoT platforms. Additionally, our operations include a growing application engineering and product development team that works closely with OEMs to co-engineer solutions tailored for both local and global markets.

What partnerships or collaborations is Inovance pursuing globally to fast-track innovation and respond to the rising demand for smart, flexible manufacturing solutions?

Innovation cannot be siloed. At Inovance, we are actively forging global collaborations with technology partners and OEMs —to fast-track advancements in AI-driven predictive maintenance, vision-based quality control, and autonomous robotic systems.

Our participation in expos reflects our commitment to being part of the global innovation dialogue. Through these platforms, we not only showcase our offerings but also engage with OEMs to co-create future-ready automation blueprints.

With India becoming a key market for manufacturing, what role does Inovance’s India strategy play in your global growth vision?

India’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub is a major pillar in Inovance’s international growth strategy. With its large pool of skilled engineers, favourable policy environment, and increasing demand for intelligent automation, India offers the ideal ground for both development and scale.

We have significantly expanded our India operations—with a new office, robust distributor networks across key industrial zones, and tailored training programs for OEMs and system integrators. Additionally, we are localising our product lineup to meet regional technical standards, price sensitivities, and infrastructural nuances, without compromising global benchmarks.

Inovance offers a wide range of industry-specific automation solutions—from textiles to packaging—how are you adapting these for highly localised yet globally integrated manufacturing environments?

Whether it’s our Ethercat-based motion controllers for packaging OEMs, SCARA and 6-axis robots for assembly lines, or our textile automation drives, Inovance’s solutions are designed with both vertical expertise and global scalability in mind.

The real challenge lies in adapting these technologies for manufacturing environments that are simultaneously highly localised and globally integrated. Our strategy involves a hybrid approach—developing core technologies at global R&D hubs while enabling region-specific application customisation through local engineering support.

Inovance Technology is not just a product supplier—we are a long-term innovation partner. As OEMs reimagine manufacturing for a smarter, more resilient future, we stand ready to deliver intelligent automation that bridges continents, scales with agility, and adapts to the future of industry.
