• Navigate Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens and operator controls.
• Operate robotic palletizing systems, conveyor systems, and downstream equipment safely and efficiently.
• Safely clear equipment jams, conveyor faults, and minor production stoppages.
• Understand photo eye locations, sensor functions, and basic troubleshooting techniques.
• Perform basic conveyor maintenance, including chain repairs, gearbox inspections, roller replacement, and conveyor belt lacing repairs.
• Perform assigned Autonomous Maintenance (AM) and preventive maintenance (PM) tasks.
• Perform printer operation, product changeovers, and material replenishment.
• Maintain accurate production records and documentation.
• Maintain housekeeping and 5S standards.
