- Contribute to improving AMHS hardware and software performance, including MCS, controllers, OHT/OHB systems, stockers, and sorters.
- Support layout design, standards adoption, and continuous improvement for AMHS deployments.
2. Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering teams to identify automation improvement opportunities.
- Support cross-functional initiatives to enhance production efficiency, material flow, and system reliability.
- Collaborate with IT to resolve system-level issues affecting automation and data communication.
3. Operational Support
- Provide consistent operational support to ensure high uptime and reliability of all AMHS subsystems.
- Monitor AMHS performance post-release to production to ensure compliance with safety, quality, and operational standards.
- Conduct routine and preventive maintenance activities to sustain long-term system performance.
- Participate in shift pass-down meetings and provide clear documentation of issues, corrective actions, and system updates.
4. Troubleshooting & Repair
- Diagnose and resolve hardware and software issues for:
- Overhead Hoist Transport (OHT) systems
- Overhead Buffer (OHB) units
- Stockers & Sorters
