FAQ

We operate on a Guaranteed 4-Tier Response Protocol to minimize your downtime:

• Tier 1 (Instant - <15 mins): Secure Remote Diagnostics. Upon your call, we can establish a secure, read-only VPN connection to the machine's PLC for real-time fault analysis.

• Tier 2 (Urgent - <4 hours): Critical Parts Dispatch. If a hardware fault is identified, the required part is shipped from our nearest regional hub (EU, NA, SEA) within 4 hours, with tracking provided.

• Tier 3 (On-Site - <48 hours): Certified Engineer Dispatch. For issues requiring physical intervention, a certified engineer is dispatched, with travel documentation pre-cleared.

• Tier 4 (Root Cause - <1 week): Engineering Report. We provide a detailed failure analysis report with recommendations to prevent recurrence.

Our global inventory is managed by an AI-driven predictive stocking system that analyzes global machine data to anticipate demand. We maintain a >98% availability rate for over 2,000 critical line-items, including obsolete components for older models. All genuine CHOVYPLAS spare parts come with a standard 12-month warranty, and their installation is documented in our system to maintain your machine's full service history.

Our Preventive Maintenance (PM) is a data-driven regimen, not just a checklist. A standard PM includes:

• Mechanical: Vibration analysis on drive trains, backlash measurement on gearboxes.

• Electrical: Thermal imaging of electrical cabinets to identify hot spots before failure.

• Control: PLC battery and memory backup verification.

• Performance Calibration: Re-calibration of sealing temperature and tension controls to original specs.

• Impact: Clients on our PM program experience, on average, over 70% fewer unplanned downtime events and maintain OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) levels 3-5% higher than non-participants.

A CHOVYPLAS machine is engineered for a design lifespan of 15+ years. Our commitment extends through the entire lifecycle. For machines outside the standard warranty, we offer a Legacy Support Program. This guarantees the availability of technical drawings, spare parts (including reverse-engineered ones if obsolete), and service for as long as you operate the equipment. This transforms your CapEx investment into a predictable, long-term production asset.

We offer tiered service plans to match your operational risk profile:

• Bronze (Pay-as-You-Go): For low-volume users. You pay for support and parts only when needed.

• Silver (Preventive Care): Includes scheduled PM, 15% parts discount, and remote support. This is our most popular plan for balanced cost and risk.

• Gold (Total Performance): Includes all Silver benefits, prioritized support, and Performance Guarantees with defined OEE targets. Our data shows the Gold plan delivers the lowest 5-year TCO for high-volume producers by virtually eliminating catastrophic failure costs and maximizing output.

Our training philosophy is "Knowledge Transfer, Not Dependency." We offer a structured curriculum:

• Level 1 (Operator): Focus on safe operation, daily maintenance, and basic alarm resolution.

• Level 2 (Technician): Advanced troubleshooting, mechanical adjustments, and PLC error log interpretation.

• Level 3 (Engineer): Deep-dive into system architecture, advanced diagnostics, and preventive maintenance planning.

• We use a blend of VR simulations for fault training and hands-on sessions on your production floor. All training is certified, and we provide digital manuals and video libraries for ongoing reference.

Our CHOVYPLAS Connect platform (optional) is a secure, cloud-based system. It continuously collects anonymized machine data (OEE, downtime reasons, energy consumption). Our algorithms then benchmark your performance against anonymized global data from similar machines. You don't just get data; you get Actionable Intelligence, such as: "Your sealing jaw heating time is 12% longer than the fleet average, indicating potential future failure. Recommend inspection during next PM." This shifts your maintenance from reactive to predictive.

Absolutely. Our Co-Innovation Program is designed for this. You gain access to our Advanced Application Engineering Team to develop custom attachments, software features, or process integrations. Past projects include developing a bespoke handling system for ultra-thin films and a custom data interface for a client's proprietary MES system. We treat your unique challenge as a joint R&D project.

The evidence is in the documented outcomes of our partners:

• Financial: Clients on our comprehensive service plans demonstrate 3-5% higher net profit margins due to reduced downtime and higher asset utilization.

• Operational: They report a >50% reduction in maintenance-related emergencies and a 20% faster time-to-competency for new operators.

• Strategic: They are first to receive and implement upgrades that keep them ahead of competitors. We don't just fix machines; we deliver Quantifiable Business Outcomes—transforming your packaging line from a cost center into a competitive weapon.

• These results are built on a foundation of precision from the very first interaction. Our comprehensive pre-sales demand analysis ensures your production line is configured for maximum efficiency from day one, while our rapid-response technical support during the selection phase eliminates guesswork, directly contributing to the higher asset utilization and faster operator competency our clients consistently achieve.

  Together, these elements reflect a structure where CHOVYPLAS invests in your long‑term productivity, treating your growth as integral to their own.

  Underpinning this deep‑seated partnership model is the technological and manufacturing foundation that CHOVYPLAS has built over 25 years. As a bag making machine manufacturer integrating R&D, production, and sales, we operate a modern 10,000 m² facility with over 180 employees, more than 20 sets of advanced processing equipment, and a dedicated technical and after‑sales team of 30 professionals. Every stage—from raw material procurement to final assembly—is rigorously controlled. This robust capability allows us to deliver on the **Co‑Innovation Program**, where we quickly respond to customers’ customization needs and turn cutting‑edge firmware and feature concepts into production‑ready realities. It also ensures the reliability behind **Annual Business Reviews**, as the machine performance data we analyze is built on equipment that is consistently stable and traceable. In short, our strength across the entire chain—engineering, manufacturing, and service—transforms “partnership” from a contractual idea into a tangible, repeatable engine of lasting value.

Yes. Our Performance Optimization Service is an engineering-level upgrade. We analyze your machine's data logs and conduct on-site timing studies. Upgrades can include:

• Firmware Updates: Installing the latest motion control algorithms for reduced cycle time.

• Hardware Kits: Retrofitting newer, faster components (e.g., high-speed sealing jaws).

• Process Consulting: Re-engineering material handling around the machine.

• Typical Outcome: We consistently achieve 5-15% throughput increases on existing equipment, often with a payback period of less than 6 months. A detailed proposal with a projected ROI calculation is provided before any work begins.
