How Vast the Canon’s Service Network is?
Apart from training personnel’s, CTEC has a state of the art repair center to service and repairing all the Canon products such as DSLR camera, printers, projectors, copiers – under one roof. The facilities provided by this center include refurbishing, regeneration of copiers & printers, refilling of toner cartridges and even recycling of products for safeguarding environment.
The CTEC operations are segregated into separate division allotted to each floors
The basement is for Rejuvenation where business process machinery are brought back from the field and is refurbished. In case these machines are irreparable, they are recycled or scrapped as per the government norms of e-waste disposal.
The ground floor is reserved for Demonstration & Toner Refilling Plant. This floor showcases high-end commercial products like DreamLabo, Oce&iPF Pro Printer for training & demonstration purposes. There are two units of DreamLabo, Canon’s first inkjet production photo printer used for wedding photo printing, one of which is used for training purposes and one for customer demonstration.
The Toner Refilling Plant, includes a high-tech compression plant to maintain the quality of air. This is done so as to ensure no foreign particles enter the development area and contaminate the ink. This is extremely important as the toner cartridges are refilled here and any foreign particle can cause depletion in the quality of the end product.
There is a Training Centre present on the first floor, where training is imparted to Service Engineers of Business Imaging Solutions IDC Partner Engineer & Managers. Apart from that there is ‘Level 3’ technical help desk for software support on this floor hence called as the “Heart of Market Engineering”
On the next floor, there is an in-house Repair Center for CSP & BIS products. This is where Inkjet and laser printers (warranty or DOA cases) are repaired here. The spare parts are re-engineered and reused as well. The parts which can’t be reused is recycled or disposed as per government norms. There is a separate section for fixing films and defective PCBs are repaired & reused for TG customers.
On the third floor, there is a separate Camera Repair Center formed by consolidating Delhi-NCR region repair centers. The entire range of Canon DSLR, lenses, projector and broadcasting cameras are repaired on this floor.
The topmost floor of CTEC or the rooftop is rightly labelled as Social Responsibility. In order to conserve energy, this floor has a series of solar panels installed. Investment has also been made into RO plants for water purification and LED lights to save power consumption. Thus playing its part for sustainable development.
The new Canon Technical Excellence Center not only improves and synergizes service network by aggregating all product research, training, and other infrastructure under one roof but also helps reduce overall operation cost by up to 42 percent.
