SUN Automation Group, a global expert in providing innovative solutions to the corrugated industry, announces the launch of PERFORM+, a new Quarterly Preventative Maintenance (QPM) program designed to help box plants optimize machine performance, reduce costly downtime, and extend equipment life - maximizing return on investment.
The program includes quarterly on-site visits by SUN’s expert technicians, each featuring a comprehensive inspection, targeted repairs, proactive replacement of high-wear parts, and hands-on operator training. The goal: keep machines consistently operating at peak performance and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards.
“Unexpected downtime remains one of the most significant challenges facing corrugated plants today,” said Gokul Gopakumar, Vice President of Technology and Business Development at SUN Automation Group. “With PERFORM+, customers gain a structured maintenance solution that keeps machines running optimally, efficiently, and reliably—while avoiding the high cost of reactive maintenance.”
Operator training is integrated into each service visit, giving plant teams the tools and knowledge to operate and maintain equipment with greater confidence and control. The program’s flexible scheduling ensures maintenance can be aligned with production cycles to minimize disruption.
As labor shortages, aging assets, and margin pressures challenge the industry, proactive maintenance is no longer optional—it’s essential. PERFORM+ delivers the predictability today's box plants need to safeguard uptime and sustain performance across their operations.
