In today's fast-evolving food and beverage (F&B) landscape, automation is no longer optional—it is essential. To meet the increasing demands of quality, consistency, hygiene, and flexibility, manufacturers are turning to cutting-edge solutions that not only boost productivity but also adapt to seasonal and consumer-driven variability. At Inovance Technology, we are proud to offer a comprehensive automation ecosystem specifically tailored to the unique needs of the food and beverage (F&B) sector.
Mr. Anil Kumar, Managing Director, Inovance Technology India
A Holistic Automation Package for F&B Excellence
Inovance delivers an integrated suite of automation products, including PLCs, motion control systems, HMIs, AC drives, servo systems, I/O modules, and industrial robots. These components are designed to work seamlessly together, enabling streamlined operations across dosing, mixing, packaging, sorting, and material handling. Whether for producing bottled beverages or baked goods, dairy or packaged snacks, our ecosystem supports synchronised, intelligent automation to drive better output and lower costs.
Engineered for the Food Industry
Understanding the specific challenges of the food and beverage industry, Inovance’s product lineup is engineered with food-grade expectations at its core. The solutions offer high-precision control to ensure exact dosing and mixing, which is essential for maintaining taste consistency and meeting regulatory compliance. Hygienic automation is built into the system design to minimise human contact, aligning with stringent safety and cleanliness standards.
Additionally, the scalability of Inovance’s solutions enables manufacturers to efficiently ramp up production during seasonal peaks or adapt quickly to new SKUs (Stock Keeping Units). With real-time control integrated across all processes, uniform product quality is maintained while minimising waste and operational inefficiencies.
Core Technologies Driving Transformation
Inovance portfolio is more than just a collection of automation components—it represents a fully integrated and synergistic solution designed to elevate food and beverage manufacturing. The combination of PLCs, HMIs, and motion control systems enables synchronised, multi-stage production workflows with intuitive operator interfaces and real-time data visualisation, ensuring maximum operational efficiency. SV660 Servo Drives are built for high-performance applications such as dosing, portioning, and high-speed packaging, significantly enhancing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
The MD600 and MD800 AC Drives offer advanced motor control tailored for mixers, conveyors, and pumps, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs without compromising performance. Our GL10 and GR10 I/O modules provide robust and scalable connectivity, forming the backbone of Industry 4.0 by enabling real-time data collection and seamless integration with smart devices. Additionally, Inovance’s SCARA and 6-axis robots are ideal for precise, high-speed operations like sorting, palletising, and inspection, reducing manual labour and increasing throughput, especially in hygiene-sensitive environments.
