Inovance unveiled new solutions as part of its ever-expanding complete automation ecosystem, including the next-generation QS900 multi-axis servo drive, the DT60 Series AC drive, the IDM Series integrated servo motor-drive system, and the MSG single-cable motor, at interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf.
Global automation specialist Inovance’s latest motor drive solutions – the QS900, DT60 and IDM series – were launched at interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf (7-13 May), highlighting the company’s robust and intelligent solutions for processing, packaging and printing.
Inovance's booth at the packaging and processing trade show (18b/F12) featured the reliable IP66-rated DT60N AC drive for conveyor lines, the QS900 servo drive for multi-axis applications, and the rugged and compact IDM Series integrated servo motor-drive system, ideal for conveyor lines and labeling machines. Presented alongside the new single-cable MSG motor (designed specifically for the European market) and several existing technologies, these drives are part of the company's ever-expanding complete automation ecosystem.
Robust, high-performance motion control for packaging and processing
The IP66-rated DT60N is particularly suited for packaging applications, ensuring high reliability even in the most demanding industrial environments thanks to its one-piece die-cast structure made of high-strength aluminum alloy. With extreme durability and protection, automotive-grade redundancy, and predictive maintenance for critical components, the DT60N is ideal for highly protected conveyor lines and smart, flexible production lines.
The compact, IP67-rated IDM Series integrated servo motor-drive system eliminates the need for a separate drive and motor, helping reduce control panel size by up to 70%, cable length by 70%, and offering highly flexible installation options. It ensures intelligent and stable performance even in harsh environments, withstanding overloads of up to 450%. Single-cable technology simplifies maintenance and installation, and the IDM Series is particularly suitable for conveyor lines and labeling machines.
Featuring ultra-low latency, the next-generation QS900 advanced multi-axis servo drive integrates motion control for smoother speed and torque delivery. AI-powered reliability and diagnostics offer one-click digital commissioning and optimization for multi-axis scenarios. Predictive maintenance prevents unplanned downtime, and intelligent energy optimization ensures maximum efficiency.
Suitable for a wide range of packaging and printing machinery, the European-standard MSG Series intelligent servo motor features a flexible, modular design. Despite its compact size, the MSG Series offers high performance, rapid response, and reliability, including maximum speeds of up to 10,000 rpm, and integrates predictive monitoring functions to reduce unplanned downtime.
Also on display were some of Inovance's key products for packaging and processing operations. These included:
• The high-performance ITS7156E-INT HMI with integrated Ethernet and serial ports
• The intelligent PLC AC703-INT with support for multiple communication protocols
• Reliable and compact GL20 I/O modules
• The feature-rich and highly flexible universal compact AC drive MD630N
• The SV680N single-axis EtherCAT servo drive with functional safety and precise control
Marcus Finkbeiner, Sales Director DACH at Inovance , says: “We have a continuously expanding product portfolio ideal for the packaging, processing, and printing industries. I am delighted to launch the QS900 multi-axis servo drive, the DT60N AC drive, and the new IDM integrated servo motor-drive system at interpack, demonstrating our commitment to meeting the needs of the industry. We offer our partners in Europe the opportunity to enter new markets and grow their business thanks to our flexible, high-performance portfolio, supported by a strong local presence.”
Max Boxberger, Sales Engineer DACH at Inovance , adds: “Interpack 2026 was an excellent opportunity to showcase our comprehensive automation ecosystem to a target industry. We received great interest in our new and existing products and look forward to collaborating with an increasing number of customers across Europe to optimize their packaging and processing equipment and operations.”

Digital monitoring improves motor reliability in a cement manufacturing plant
WEG and Nuova Ites implement WEGSCAN solution to improve efficiency Nuova Ites Srl, a leading European company specializing in the repair and overhaul of rotating electrical machinery, recently partnered with industrial equipment manufacturer WEG to improve operational monitoring of one of the key industrial motors at a cement plant. As part of its ongoing commitment to reliability and performance, Nuova Ites installed the WEGSCAN electric motor monitoring system, a cutting-edge solution developed by WEG to monitor motor performance and identify potential issues before they impact operations. Nuova Ites, a specialist in the repair and overhaul of rotating electrical machinery across Europe, with over 800 wind turbines fully serviced in collaboration with leading operators such as Vestas, Enel, and ERG Renew, identified the need for continuous motor monitoring in a high-load application. In this case, a 132 kW, 2-pole WEG special series motor was coupled to an Atlas Copco compressor, forming a critical component of the customer's production process. Performance and reliability in this mixed-equipment configuration were crucial, but visibility into the motor's condition was limited. To address this issue, WEG supplied and installed a complete monitoring solution consisting of the Cassia X2000 Gateway and the WEGSCAN 100 unit. Following a WEG technical visit to the Nuova Ites workshop in late 2025, the equipment was ordered and delivered in early January 2026. The system was configured on-site to meet the specific application requirements and integrated into the monitoring processes of both Nuova Ites and the cement plant. The WEGSCAN system is designed to support real-time monitoring of multiple operating parameters, including vibration signatures, temperature trends, and other mechanical and electrical health indicators. Its dual-access capability allows engineers to view data from a standard PC interface or smartphone, facilitating remote condition monitoring and immediate performance visibility. Supporting the monitoring infrastructure is the Cassia X2000 Gateway, which serves as the system's communications hub. The gateway enables reliable wireless connectivity between the WEGSCAN device and the wider network, ensuring that operating data from the engine can be transmitted and accessed in real time. Designed for demanding conditions, the gateway operates over a wide temperature range of −40 to 65°C, ensuring stable communication between sensors and monitoring systems in harsh operating environments. By acquiring continuous operational data, Nuova Ites is now able to identify early signs of abnormal behavior and proactively plan maintenance, helping to reduce unplanned downtime, optimize service interventions, and improve overall energy efficiency. This level of insight is particularly valuable in environments where the costs of downtime and reactive repairs are high. "For Nuova Ites, the monitoring system has become an essential tool in its service portfolio, helping to integrate condition-based maintenance into the standard workflow and offering customers greater reliability and full lifecycle support," said Fabrizio Arosio, Head of Drive and Automation Systems at WEG Italia. “With the ability to more closely monitor critical engines, the company is better equipped to anticipate problems, optimize maintenance planning, and provide data-driven insights that add measurable value to asset performance and business continuity.” Digital monitoring technologies like WEGSCAN also help make industrial operations more sustainable. By providing continuous information on engine performance under real-world operating conditions, operators can keep equipment closer to its optimum efficiency point. In energy-intensive industries like cement production, improving the efficiency and lifespan of critical rotating equipment plays an important role in reducing overall resource consumption and supporting more sustainable plant operations.
