Responsibilities & Key Deliverables

.1 Digital Strategy, Architecture & Technology Evaluation

• Define the Nagpur plant digital roadmap and reference architecture (ISA-95 / Purdue model) in line with the corporate Manufacturing Digital strategy and Industry 4.0 vision.
• Participate in plant layout, process and equipment design reviews from the pre-construction stage to embed connectivity, data-capture points, network pathways, cabling and space provisions (server / HUB rooms) by design.

2 MES Design, Implementation & Optimization
• Own the end-to-end MES program for the plant: requirements, functional design, configuration / customization, integration, testing (UAT), cut-over, Go-Live and hypercare.
• Implement core MES functions per ISA-95 model: production order and work-order execution, line and station control, genealogy and traceability (vehicle / engine / component / VIN-level), process parameter and recipe management, quality gates and poka-yoke, rework / defect management, material and kitting call-offs, Andon / escalation, OEE and downtime tracking,



electronic work instructions and tool / torque / test data management.
• Establish MES performance, availability, DR / backup and release-management practices appropriate for 24x7 production environments.

3 OT Network Architecture & Cybersecurity • Design and implement the plant OT network: segmented, redundant (ring / PRP / HSR as applicable) industrial Ethernet architecture with managed industrial switches, VLAN / IP addressing plan, QoS, time synchronization (NTP / PTP) and structured cabling (copper / fibre).
• Plan and validate industrial Wi-Fi / wireless and, where relevant, private 5G coverage for AGVs / AMRs, handhelds and mobile assets, supported by site surveys and RF design.
• Implement IT–OT segregation with an industrial DMZ, next-generation firewalls, secure remote-access (jump servers, MFA, vendor access management), patching strategy, backup / restore and endpoint hardening.
