One main goal is to collaborate with internal teams on developing long-range operational technology strategies to support continued growth.
Over FY24, the operational technology team supported projects such as the integration of the new Workday platform, the CVI plant startup in Tulsa with an automated paint line, the PRV upblast automation project, the Axial Trumpf automation startup, the rollout of new engineering design tools to the entire enterprise, connecting to and gathering data from hundreds of automation solutions, and the implementation of SAP at the ATU business unit, just to name a few.
