The team reviews the product\u2019s purpose and application and creates design drawings. Sometimes they fabricate a prototype and repeatedly evaluate its structure and safety before applying their findings to the design. In electrical design process, considering customer&#8217;s usability, they design hardware components in the control panel and software such as programming. The team also creates approval drawings, including outline drawings and customer requirements, as well as documentation (operation procedures, part lists, etc.) for submission to the customer. We pride ourselves on creating drawings and documentation that are easy for customers to understand.<\/p><p>At our Lab and Testing Room, the Design and Development Team plays the lead role in installing machines to prepare for the tests, conducting those tests in the customer\u2019s presence, and cleaning the machines after the tests. We also take responsibility for these tasks, which are prone to be taken for granted. This approach is the most important element that backs up our technical capabilities.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"technology-wrap\"><div class=\"technology-1080 js-fadein\"><h2 class=\"h2-ttl01\"><span>Commitment.03<\/span>SunMax quality: Found in every aspect of each machine and in our fine-grained service<\/h2><div class=\"technology-sec01 center\"><p>Our goal is that customers will find SunMax\u2019s dedication to excellence and quality in every aspect of our food processing machines. For example, necessary parts are fabricated entirely in-house, including laser cutting of frame materials, deburring, bending work, welding, lathe machining, milling, and drilling. Machines are assembled from finished sheet metal, processed parts, and purchased parts. Then they undergo a completion inspection. The Hokuriku Plant carries out a variety of inspections to verify that each machine is free of defects and that it has been built to specifications. Once the customer has seen the machine (after the inspections but before shipment), we make corrections and changes as necessary. SunMax quality means we then handle everything ourselves, including delivery of the machine, installation, test production at the customer\u2019s facility, machine problems, and modifications.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-slider js-fadein\"><div id=\"gallery-slider-outer\"><ul><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_01.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_01.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_01@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality01\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_02.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_02.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_02@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality02\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_03.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_03.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_03@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality03\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_04.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_04.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_04@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality04\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_05.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_05.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_05@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality05\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_06.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_06.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_06@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality06\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_07.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_07.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_07@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality07\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_08.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_08.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_08@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality08\" \/><\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_09.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_09.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img04_09@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"SunMax quality09\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"technology-wrap technology-wrap-no-border\"><div class=\"technology-1080 js-fadein\"><h2 class=\"h2-ttl01\"><span>Commitment.04<\/span>Acting as a partner to help customers embrace the challenges of food manufacturing<\/h2><div class=\"technology-sec03\"><div class=\"w429 mb30_sp_only sec-col\"><p>Our sales team works with existing customers that are already using SunMax machines as well as new customers with inquiries. The team meets with the customer to determine specifications by considering factors such as the type of machine needed, available space, and production volume and then makes a proposal. Tests are carried out at the Hokuriku Plant\u2019s Lab and Testing Room as necessary. We also deliver finished machines, conduct commissionings to verify proper operation, and provide maintenance and after-sales follow-up (repairs and service to address abrupt failures and other issues). Additionally, we visit the customer\u2019s plant on a regular basis after delivery to inspect the machines. Our relationship with each customer does not end with the sale of the machine. Our goal is to provide robust after-sales follow-up, for example through repairs and inspections, and to serve as a partner to help customers embrace the challenges of food manufacturing.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"w754 commitment04-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img05.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img05.jpg 1x,https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wordpress\/wp-content\/themes\/sunmax\/img\/technology\/img05@2x.jpg 1.5x\" alt=\"Acting as a partner to help customers embrace the challenges of food manufacturing\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"about-footer-wrap js-fadein\"><ul class=\"about-footer-link\"><li class=\"products\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/products\/\">Products<\/a><\/li><li class=\"sunmax\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/about-sunmax\/\">About SunMax<\/a><\/li><li class=\"laboratory\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/laboratory\/\">Lab and Testing Room<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Commitment.01In-house production for &#8220;working responsibly&#8221;At SunMax\u2019s Hokuriku Plant, &#8220;Desig [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-mv_photo.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/217"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sunmax.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
