Role Overview

n

The client is seeking an experienced MES Consultant to drive the digital evolution of manufacturing facilities. Over a 6-month period, this consultant will partner with plant leadership and IT/OT teams to digitize complex, high-precision operations—from continuous fibre draw towers to discrete cleanroom assemblies. The goal is to implement smart factory initiatives that improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), maximize high-grade fibre yield, and provide end-to-end traceability for our datacenter clients.

n

Key Responsibilities

n

n
- Assessment & Roadmapping: Conduct a gap analysis of current optical manufacturing operations and develop a 6-month roadmap for Industry 4.0 use cases tailored to both continuous (fibre drawing) and discrete (cable/interconnect assembly) processes.
n
- IT/OT Integration: Bridge the gap between IT and OT by integrating high-precision shop-floor machinery (draw towers, stranding machines, polishing rigs) with enterprise systems (ERP, MES).
n
- Digital Thread & Traceability: Implement solutions to ensure full component traceability (from raw glass preform to finished datacenter interconnect), a critical requirement for top-tier datacenter and telecom customers.
n
- IIoT & Environmental Monitoring: Lead the deployment of Industrial IoT solutions to capture real-time machine data and monitor critical cleanroom environmental factors (temperature, humidity, particulate counts) to prevent yield loss.
n
- Change Management & Vendor Collaboration:



Work closely with plant managers and machine operators to drive adoption, while collaborating with external vendors specializing in optical manufacturing tech.
