Within 3 years he moved from Robotic Flame Hardening Operator to taking over the position of Robotics Department Manager. He was trained by the nominator (Michael Orr) and also took 3 Fanuc robotics classes, including the new Collaborative Robotics class, to gain his extensive knowledge. He was put in charge of the purchase, installation, operation, and training of our 4th robot which is a collaborative robot from Fanuc, and did an outstanding job. Bert oversees 3 employees, programs robots, verifies/develops/runs hardening processes, and handles customers and vendors.
