A day in the life

You clock in, review the previous shift’s handoff, and bring multiple injection molding lines up to speed. You fine-tune settings, verify docket info and ZR checks, and perform visual inspections so every case meets spec. When a line hiccups, you troubleshoot quickly to minimize downtime.
