• • Support barcode scanning technology, including requirements, device/process testing, issue triage, user support, and integration with ERP/MES or inventory/production reporting processes.
  • Provide first/second level support for factory floor technology such as production PCs, monitors, scanners, printers, terminals, and related shop-floor peripherals in partnership with infrastructure and endpoint support teams.
  • Support factory IT infrastructure needs by helping identify operational requirements, coordinate issue resolution, and ensure technology solutions are reliable for production environments.

• Support metal fabrication and production-enabling software:

• • Support systems and software used for programming metal fabrication machines, including coordination with engineering, manufacturing, vendors, and IT teams to resolve issues and improve process reliability.
  • Provide business systems support for sheet metal factory operations and metal fabrication processes, with a focus on enabling accurate production execution, traceability, and operational efficiency.
  • Provide support for CAM programming for shop floor including nesting software for sheetmetal.

• Support quality management and predictive maintenance capabilities:

• • Support QMS deployment and ongoing enhancements, including requirements gathering, workflow support, testing, reporting needs, and business adoption. Experience with EtQ is a plus.
  • Partner with maintenance, operations, and data teams to support predictive maintenance use cases and connect factory data needs to broader data and AI strategy initiatives.
  • Assist with identifying relevant production, equipment, quality, and maintenance data sources needed for analytics, reporting, predictive insights, and continuous improvement.
