It’s the start of your shift in Monroe, NC. You walk the line, listen for the hum of well-tuned equipment, and spot-check a conveyor that needs attention. An hour later you’ve diagnosed a PLC input issue, logged your findings, and coordinated a quick fix with a teammate. By mid-shift you’re inspecting hydraulics and pneumatics, and before you wrap, you’ve updated maintenance records and ensured everything meets safety standards.
