intermittent faults and equipment reliability issues Using PLC diagnostics to trace faults through automated sequences Recommending corrective actions and potential improvements Producing clear

action lists

outlining identified problems, priorities and recommended solutions Supporting implementation and testing of corrective actions where required Working alongside maintenance, engineering and production personnel Documenting technical findings, modifications and recommendations The emphasis is on being able to
