We handle tons of different SKUs and we
palletize a lot of product and NOVA has enabled usto not only add technology to our site, but also reduce the impact of rising labor cost of difficulty getting labor.

Why Choose the IPC-25?
Whether you handle a single product or a catalog of 100+ SKUs, the NOVA Automation IPC-25 is engineered to eliminate the physical strain of manual case stacking while driving consistent, high-speed throughput.
Handle Any Inventory Mix: Designed specifically for flexibility, the IPC-25 effortlessly manages high-SKU environments that typically require manual intervention.
Plug-and-Play Integration: Featuring a compact footprint, this cell is designed for rapid deployment, allowing you to automate existing lines without a total facility overhaul.
Powered by Kawasaki Robotics: Built around the precision of Kawasaki’s RS025N, the system delivers industrial-grade reliability and high-speed unitizing.
Reduced Labor Dependency: Mitigate labor shortages and rising costs by transitioning your team from repetitive lifting to high-value system oversight
The NOVA Automation Team: Your Partners in Innovation
Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado, NOVA Automation is an engineering-driven company that specializes in solving the complex packaging challenges competitors often avoid. Our partnership with them over the last 15+ years has created some of the best palletizing solutions in the market and continues to expand into new product lines like the IPC Series.
Engineering-First Culture: Led by CEO Paul Wegman, the team operates out of a 32,000-square-foot vertically integrated facility where every component is designed, manufactured, and assembled in-house.
End-to-End Specialists: From project managers to field service engineers, the staff is focused on “Organic” systems—meaning they manufacture their own bagging, weighing, and conveying technology to ensure seamless, single-source integration.
Global Reach, Local Support: While based in Denver, the NOVA team supports Fortune 500 clients across North America, Europe, and Australia with lifetime technical assistance.
Technical Performance You Can Trust
The IPC-25 is the culmination of that expertise—simple enough for small operations, yet robust enough for the global supply chain.
Versatile Packaging: Handles cases, boxes, and unique package designs with precision end-of-arm tooling.
Smart Control: Equipped with a PLC-based control system and color HMI for advanced diagnostics and easy program storage.
Fast Throughput:Up to 20 cycles per minute (Multipick available for
rates in 30s CPM depending on case weight and
mode)
The In-House Powerhouse
NOVA’s FLEXIBLE SYSTEMS
How In-House Components Power the IPC-25
Unlike many integrators who simply assemble third-party parts, NOVA Automation operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer. This organic approach means that every major component—from the baggers and weighers to the conveyors—is designed and built in-house at their 32,000-square-foot Denver facility.
The IPC-25 isn’t just a robot; it’s the brain of a unified ecosystem where every part speaks the same language
World-Class End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT): Solving complex problems with innovative solutions, NOVA designs and builds its own mechanical frames while integrating premium, field‑proven gripper technology from trusted industry vendors. This vertically integrated approach, combined with a strong global vendor network, enables NOVA to deliver highly customized EOAT solutions with speed, consistency, and long‑term support.
Unified Control Systems: Because NOVA builds the conveying and safety accessories in-house, the IPC-25’s central PLC manages the entire line seamlessly. You won’t deal with conflicting software or “handshake” errors between different brands.
Seamless Upstream Integration: The IPC-25 is designed to pair perfectly with NOVA’s own bagging and filling systems. This ensures that product orientation and spacing are optimized before they even reach the palletizing cell, maximizing your throughput.
Single-Source Support: If a sensor or a conveyor belt needs attention, you have one point of contact. There is no finger-pointing between vendors—just NOVA engineers who know every inch of your system.
