Support the deployment of robotic systems in manufacturing facilities in Europ, with a specific focus on digital integration aspects
Job Description
βThe role consists mainly to
Identify and support the implementation of robotization opportunities to support growth and scalability in low-volume, high-mix production environments.
Act as the main interface between factory operations and digital technology teams (IT/OT) to ensure seamless integration of robotic systems into our digital landscape (SAP, MES, windchill, etc.).
Essential Responsibilities
Project Management & Execution
Coordinate or lead the planning, execution, and delivery of robotic projects from concept to commissioning with factory teams & integrators
Define project scope, goals, deliverables, timelines, and budgets in alignment with stakeholders.
Coordinate with internal teams (engineering, operations, maintenance, safety) and external vendors/integrators.
Manage project risks, change controls, and resource constraints to ensure successful deployment.
Business Case Development
Analyze with the factory their manufacturing processes to identify automation/robotization opportunities.
Define ROI, payback period, and performance KPIs for proposed robotic investments.
Prepare and present detailed business cases to Business Line leadership and robotics & automation council to support capital investment decisions
Digital System Integration (SAP, MES, Networks, Databases)
Act as the key interface between operational teams and IT/digital stakeholders to align needs and system requirements.
Ensure proper integration of robotic and automation systems with enterprise platforms (SAP, MES, SCADA, …).
Validate data flow and system compatibility: including master data, production orders, traceability, and real-time data.
Support network infrastructure planning, cybersecurity compliance, and digital architecture design.
Collaborate with the Digital organization teams to ensure the readiness of production sites for new robotic systems (connectivity, data mapping, protocols).
Continuous Improvement & Strategy
Support the development of roadmaps for future robotic initiatives in the European factories and the scalability of some running projects.
Contribute to the roadmap of robotic and digital initiatives at the factory and business line level.
Help define integration standards, digital best practices, and scalable solutions.
Support knowledge transfer and capability building across sites to strengthen the organization’s digital maturity..
Support internal capability building and knowledge transfer across sites.
