A repair partner that works to your process

Star Automations handles warranty and post-warranty repair-return for OEMs across India. Star works to your test methods, acceptance criteria and reporting, reports per unit by serial number and feeds failure findings back to your engineering team. The work is done at our refurbishment factory in Puducherry, with sites in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi.

Star also explores cooperation with overseas OEMs, repair companies, distributors and spare-parts suppliers that want a local partner in India: repair-and-return, overflow workshop support, and supply of industrial spares to Indian customers. Every arrangement starts with a defined pilot and is agreed in writing.

Capability

What is established, what needs qualification, what we are exploring

Established at Star

Servo motor and drive repair, encoder work, AC drives, PLC and HMI repair, board-level repair, repair-and-return for overseas OEMs, import on demand of obsolete spares, and cable harness and control panel manufacturing.

Subject to product qualification

Specific brands and models, robot motors, drives, teach pendants and controllers, EV charger boards and inverter electronics. We review the model and agree the scope before any commitment.

Being explored with partners

Complete robot refurbishment, component recovery, remanufacturing, hydraulic overhaul and other new areas. These are opportunities we want to build with qualified partners, not services we claim today.

Supplier pilot

Start a supply cooperation with a small pilot

For repair cooperation, use the bench trial below. For supply cooperation, the pilot is separate and has no volume or exclusivity commitment.

  1. Initial discussion

    Products, brands, stock condition and what you want to achieve in India.

  2. Documentation and terms

    Catalogue or part list, conditions, origin and compliance documents, and commercial terms are reviewed.

  3. Sample RFQ

    A real or representative Indian customer RFQ is quoted to test the process.

  4. Agreed pilot

    A small defined scope with roles, responsibilities and a time frame, agreed in writing.

  5. Joint review

    Both sides review results and decide whether and how to continue.

Please do not send sensitive drawings or confidential files before an NDA is in place.

03Your process

Star works to your test methods, acceptance criteria and reporting

For servo motor programmes, our universal servo test system lets Star verify each motor against your test methods and acceptance criteria, without your drive, and report per unit.

See a sample test report
  • Your test methods and acceptance criteria, applied to every unit.
  • A test report per unit, in your format, with your part numbers and failure codes.
  • Serial traceability from inward to dispatch.
  • Failure findings and root causes fed back to your engineering team.
  • Confidentiality: an NDA signed before any drawings, firmware or data are shared.
  • ESD-protected benches and a documented test and inspection process.
04Getting started

Start with a bench trial on 2–3 failed units

A bench trial is the low-risk way to judge us: you send a few failed units, we repair and test them to your criteria, and you review the reports before committing to a programme.

  1. NDA and data exchange

    We sign your NDA. You share test methods, acceptance criteria and report format.

  2. Bench trial

    You send 2–3 failed units. We diagnose, repair and test them to your criteria.

  3. Review

    You review the per-unit reports and failure findings against your own checks.

  4. Agree the programme

    Reporting format, logistics, sites and escalation contacts are agreed.

  5. Programme running

    Units flow in, reports flow back, and we review findings with your team.

06Questions

OEM programme questions

More answers on the FAQ page.

Can Star work to our own test methods and acceptance criteria?

Yes. Star works to your test methods, acceptance criteria and reporting. It is how we have worked for about ten years as all-India warranty and service partner for RealLand servo motors (China), and on all-India warranty and post-warranty servo repair support for Shibaura Machine (formerly Toshiba Machine).

How does a bench trial work?

You send 2–3 failed units. We diagnose, repair and test them to your acceptance criteria and send a report per unit with the failure findings. You review the results against your own checks before deciding on a programme.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes. We sign your NDA before any drawings, firmware, test specifications or failure data are shared.

What do we receive for each unit?

A test report per unit in your format, traceable by serial number, with the tests, acceptance criteria and results, the parts replaced and the root cause. Findings can be summarised across units for your engineering and quality teams.

Can you support post-warranty repairs for our customers?

Yes. Your customers get repair-return after warranty under your programme, from our Puducherry factory, with sites in Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi. Warranty terms are stated on each quotation.

How do you test servo motors without our drive?

On our in-house universal servo test system, which runs servo motors from many brands on one rig without each brand's own drive and reads their feedback devices directly. It lets us verify each motor against your acceptance criteria and report per unit.

Can Star support an OEM's equipment in India?

Yes, subject to a review of the product family. Star can discuss warranty and post-warranty repair-return, depot repair and local technical communication, with scope, test methods and acceptance criteria agreed for each programme. A bench trial on 2–3 units is the usual first step.

How can an overseas spare-parts supplier work with Star?

Start with a product and capability discussion, then a review of documentation and terms, a sample RFQ and an agreed pilot. Star can handle Indian customer RFQs, technical clarification, import-document coordination, local customer support and domestic supply with GST invoicing where applicable.

What information is needed for a repair or supply pilot?

For a repair pilot: product line, models, typical failures and, after an NDA, your test methods. For a supply pilot: company and website, brands and product families, stock condition, a catalogue or part-list link and any existing India representation.

How are new, unused-surplus, used-tested and refurbished parts identified?

Each part is described on the quotation by its condition: new, unused surplus, used and tested, or refurbished and tested. Warranty terms are stated on the quotation. A used part is never described as new.

How are test requirements, confidentiality and responsibilities agreed?

Test methods, acceptance criteria, reporting format and responsibilities are agreed in writing for each programme, after an NDA is signed. No drawings, firmware or test data need to be shared before then.

Can Star support selected robot motors, drives or control modules?

Possibly, depending on make and model. Star repairs servo motors and servo amplifiers and some robot teach pendants and controllers, subject to a model review. Complete robot refurbishment and component recovery are areas Star is exploring with partners; they are not established services.

Is exclusivity automatic?

No. Any exclusivity, territory, minimum volume or stock purchase must be agreed separately in writing. A pilot does not create any of these.

What import and product-compliance information is needed?

For each product: manufacturer and part number, country of origin, condition, and the Indian import or product requirements that apply, such as customs classification, BIS or environmental rules where relevant. A GST invoice does not replace these requirements, and import clearance is never assumed.

Send 2–3 failed units. Judge us on the reports.
