Day in the Life

8:00 AM — You power up a FANUC arm on our floor, verify I/O on the HMI, and walk through safety interlocks before fine‑tuning a pick-and-place routine. 11:00 AM — You head to a customer site to commission a new ABB cell: mapping I/O to the PLC, calibrating vision, and running first-article tests. 2:30 PM — A support ticket comes in from a plant: a robot intermittently faults during changeover. You remote in, analyze logs, and then visit on-site to pinpoint a sensor timing issue. 4:30 PM — You capture updates to schematics and PM logs, sync with engineers and the project manager on next steps, and leave the system better than you found it.
