I’m seeing reqs tilt hard toward remote ops — last month we spun up a 24/7 console to supervise 48 AMRs and six palletizing cells across three sites, no onsite babysitting. Are your teams hiring more joystick-and-logs people than wrench-turners, and how are you framing growth paths for these roles?
We built a ‘wrench-to-console’ ladder: 1 day/week onsite rotations; promotions require incident postmortems. @ops, what’s working for you?
@ops For your 48 AMRs, tie promotions to live incident runbooks; remote-first, but keep a two-person on-call for palletizer jams.
Leaning remote, but with a ‘24/7 console’ on 48 AMRs I’d tie growth to hard KPIs: L1 nails detection, L2 runs cross-site incident command and game-day drills, L3 wins change-window authority tied to MTTR cuts. Small caveat: your six palletizing cells still need a regional 4‑hour hands team for EOAT jams and safety resets. @paul5901 are you tracking robots-per-operator by shift?
