A day in the life — Bessemer, MI
You arrive on site and review overnight logs: one production line flagged a VFD fault, another needs a scheduled PM. You pull the schematics, trace the circuit, and restore the drive. After a quick huddle with operations, you move on to inspections—tightening connections, verifying sensors, and documenting each finding. An urgent call comes in: a servo axis isn’t homing. You diagnose with the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) (Allen Bradley), confirm wiring integrity, and bring the line back to full speed. Before shift-end, you capture all maintenance notes, update the CMMS, and propose a small controls improvement that boosts reliability and safety.
