Techkon USA and Sun Chemical have announced the launch of their custom-designed quality software, “SunQ”. This new software integrates seamlessly with SAP, providing a user-friendly interface that combines color and physical testing in one platform.

The companies designed SunQ to standardize testing protocols across a wide range of parameters. These include batch quality testing, data trend analysis, quality metrics, testing cycle times, automated quality traceability, and escalation protocols and approvals.

This co-developed software emphasizes quality principles and analysis. The companies engineered SunQ to ensure optimal consistency in batch-to-batch quality. Meanwhile, they wanted to uphold Sun Chemical’s unwavering commitment to quality excellence.

Using a wired or wirelessly connected Techkon SpectroDens (Techkon’s patented combined spectrophotometer and densitometer device), operators can make various color, density, and other measurements without having to switch software packages.

SunQ has been implemented in 30 Sun Chemical plants in North America.

“Our QC labs are excited with the ease of use, product testing process, and data analytics for optimizing consistency of batch-to-batch quality,” says Ken Williams, senior operations manager, Sun Chemical Corp. ”With one seamless interface thanks to Techkon’s custom developed SunQ software, we’ve greatly improved our product quality testing process at the manufacturing plants.”
