Sun Automation Group Introduces Perform+

Packaging Solutions

Sun Automation Group has announced the launch of Perform+, a new quarterly preventative maintenance (QPM) programme designed to help box plants optimise machine performance, reduce costly downtime, and extend equipment life – maximising return on investment.

The programme includes quarterly on site visits by the company’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 programme’s flexible scheduling ensures maintenance can be aligned with production cycles to minimise disruption.

As labour shortages, aging assets, and margin pressures challenge the industry, proactive maintenance is no longer optional – it is essential. Perform+ delivers the predictability today's box plants need to safeguard uptime and sustain performance across their operations.
