• Automation & Robotics: Supervise and support automated material handling systems (e.g., automated guided vehicles, AMRs, ASRS, robotic sorters). Troubleshoot minor technical issues and train team members on operating alongside robotic technology.
• Process Improvement: Champion lean manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Reporting & Compliance: Monitor KPIs regarding safety, accuracy, and output using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and ERP software.
