Technical focus
PLC and data collection systems, SQL reporting, Kepware communications, serial-number governance, lockout controls, and exception visibility.
Project mandate
Create dependable product lineage through each production step, minimizing unidentified defects and unauthorized movement while giving quality teams the evidence needed to investigate exceptions quickly.
