Functional Consultant (Smart Manufacturing)

We are seeking an experienced Smart Manufacturing Consultant to drive the design, implementation, and adoption of Industry 4.0 solutions across manufacturing operations. The ideal candidate will combine deep operational knowledge of production processes with expertise in digital technologies such as IoT, MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), IIoT platforms, automation, data analytics, and shop‑floor connectivity. This role supports clients or internal teams in transforming traditional manufacturing into agile, data‑driven, and highly efficient smart factories.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess current manufacturing operations and identify opportunities for digitalization, automation, and performance optimization.
• Design and implement smart manufacturing architectures, including IIoT sensor integration, real‑time data collection, OEE tracking, and predictive maintenance strategies.
• Configure and deploy Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), SCADA, PLC integration, and digital twin models aligned with operational KPIs.
• Lead cross‑functional workshops to map “as‑is” and “to‑be” processes, ensuring alignment between IT, OT (Operational Technology), engineering, and production teams.
• Integrate shop‑floor systems (e.g., CNC, robotics, packaging lines) with enterprise platforms (ERP, PLM, QMS) via APIs, OPC UA, MQTT, or middleware.
• Develop dashboards and analytics solutions for real‑time visibility into production performance, quality, downtime, and energy usage.
• Support change management, user training, and adoption of new digital workflows across plant personnel.
• Ensure cybersecurity, data integrity, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 13374, IEC 62443, GxP if applicable).
• Collaborate with technology vendors (e.g., Rockwell, Siemens, PTC, SAP, Microsoft Azure IoT) to evaluate and deploy best‑fit solutions.
