Summary
A deep understanding of automation standards developed by Dürr has been acquired through my expertise in Dürr Robot Maintenance, which has been accumulated over 5 years. As a Maintenance Specialist for these robots, a dedicated service of 4 years was provided in my previous role at the Motherson Group company. Additionally, specialized training has been pursued through 3D Onsite courses, exclusively focusing on parameters associated with the various components of the robot, along with completion of an application and electrical mechanics course.
Numerous challenges have been confronted and successfully resolved throughout my tenure at SMP, a relatively new company in the industry. These experiences have not only contributed to my professional growth but have also facilitated the acquisition of invaluable expertise that undoubtedly aligns with the qualifications sought after in a painting line professional.
