Factory Acceptance Testing
Run the approved product and packaging material under recorded conditions, using the agreed test duration, checks and accepted-output criteria.
Packaging systems configured around your application Defined project scope
From factory acceptance testing in Shanghai to commissioning, training, remote diagnostics and spare-parts planning, the support package is defined around the approved machine configuration, destination market and handover scope.
INMAYPACK packaging machine service and support can include FAT, export handover documents, installation, commissioning, operator and maintenance training, remote diagnostics, spare-parts planning and quoted on-site service. Exact coverage, duration, response route, exclusions and buyer/supplier responsibilities are defined in the valid quotation, contract and handover documents.
The most useful service plan begins with a controlled project scope. Product, film or pouch, dosing system, line interfaces, utilities, test method and accepted-output criteria should be agreed before FAT. This gives the supplier and buyer one evidence trail for handover, troubleshooting and later maintenance.
Post-handover support can include remote diagnostics, spare-parts supply and quoted on-site service. The applicable warranty and support terms are the terms written in the valid project documents—not a generic website promise.
Run the approved product and packaging material under recorded conditions, using the agreed test duration, checks and accepted-output criteria.
Confirm site readiness, utilities, machine interfaces, guarding responsibilities, startup sequence and production-release evidence.
Define content, duration, language, location, participants and acceptance records for the delivered configuration.
Use the agreed communication channel, fault evidence, video and remote-access method where the delivered control architecture permits it.
Separate commissioning, wear and critical spares; record exact part identities, installed revisions and replenishment responsibilities.
Confirm availability, travel, scope, rates, site conditions and restart acceptance before dispatching an engineer.
Record product behavior, pack format, dose range, target output, utilities and downstream boundaries.
Freeze the machine, filler, options, control interfaces and responsibilities in the issued project documents.
Agree samples, material, test duration, checks, rejects and acceptance criteria before the factory test starts.
Match manuals, drawings, backups, parts lists, certificates and FAT records to the as-built machine.
Verify utilities, interfaces, safety functions, recipes and restart criteria under the approved site scope.
Use machine identity and fault evidence to route diagnostics, spare parts, maintenance and quoted field work.
| Service item | What the valid project documents should define |
|---|---|
| Warranty | Duration, start point, covered defects, exclusions, evidence required and replacement-part responsibility. |
| Spare parts | Commissioning, wear and critical-spares lists; exact part identity; included quantities; pricing and delivery route. |
| Training | Content, duration, language, location, attendees, materials and completion records for the delivered configuration. |
| Installation & commissioning | Site-readiness conditions, utilities, interfaces, labor split, travel, scope and production-release evidence. |
| Remote support | Contact channel, required fault evidence, access permissions, network/security boundary and supported control components. |
| On-site service | Availability, quoted rates, travel and accommodation, work scope, parts, site conditions and restart acceptance. |
| Post-warranty support | Available technical channels, diagnostics, spare-parts supply and quoted field service under the agreed scope. |
I would not approve a generic after-sales statement as the project service plan. The useful record links each support task to the delivered configuration, installed component revision, fault evidence, responsible party and restart acceptance method. That is what turns a phone call into a controlled recovery process.



Warranty duration, start point, coverage, exclusions, evidence requirements and replacement-part responsibilities follow the valid quotation, contract and handover documents for the delivered machine.
Spare-parts availability and delivery depend on the exact part identity, installed revision, stock status, destination, freight route and agreed commercial scope. Send the machine serial number, part photo or code, quantity and required date for confirmation.
Installation, commissioning and training can be included in the approved project scope. Training content, duration, language, location, participants and acceptance records are defined for the delivered configuration and site-readiness plan.
Remote support can use the agreed contact channel, video evidence and remote-access method where the delivered control architecture and the customer's security rules permit it. The machine identity, alarm history and recent changes should be provided first.
The FAT should state the approved product and packaging material, machine configuration, test duration, operating conditions, checks, acceptable rejects, output definition, evidence records and release authority before testing begins.
After the warranty period stated in the valid contract, available technical support channels, video diagnostics, remote supervision, spare-parts supply and paid on-site service follow the agreed post-warranty service scope.
Include the machine serial number, configuration, affected product or pouch, alarm history, clear video, recent changes and required recovery date. The engineering team will review the evidence and confirm the applicable support route.
