SCADA OPERATOR Roles and Responsibility: Operate and monitor SCADA systems for PVC mixer and compounding processes. Ensure correct operation sequence and logic of pressure and vacuum conveying systems. Handle daily scheduled production and troubleshoot process-related issues. Monitor shift-wise production data to improve productivity and operational efficiency. Check and verify material composition and machine parameters before and during production. SCADA Operation & Process Monitoring Operate, monitor, and control PVC mixing equipment through the SCADA interface. Start/stop mixers, blenders, conveyors, dosing systems, and ancillary equipment as per SOP. Monitor process parameters such as: Temperature, RPM, Batch timing, Load/torque, Dosing accuracy, Vacuum/pressure levels Log process deviations and take corrective action promptly. Ensure alarms, warnings, and interlocks are responded to immediately. Material & Formulation Control Expertise in PVC material formulation with thorough knowledge of all chemicals used in compounding. Understand the function and impact of each additive on final product quality and performance. Ensure adherence to approved formulations and quality standards. Production Planning & Reporting Coordinate production planning as per schedule and material availability. Perform daily production data entry and reporting in SAP. Maintain accurate records for production, downtime, and efficiency. Maintenance & Preventive Care Regularly inspect machines and shop floor conditions to prevent major breakdowns. Coordinate with the maintenance team for preventive and corrective maintenance activities. Identify early signs of equipment malfunction and take timely action. Quality & Technical Support Provide technical support during new product development and trials. Engage in technical discussions with customers for product development and issue resolution. Implement new technical methods to improve process performance and working systems. Ensure batches are produced within quality standards (bulk density, particle size, moisture, color, etc.). Follow SOPs, IMS and ISO procedures. Support QA sampling and testing activities. Avoid cross‑contamination and ensure mixers are cleaned as per procedure. Manpower & Shop Floor Management Handle and manage manpower effectively across shifts. Maintain discipline and efficiency on the shop floor. Ensure compliance with safety standards and operational procedures. Coordination & Communication Regular interaction with senior management for daily production updates. Work closely with cross-functional teams including maintenance, quality, and R&D. Function as a Production Specialist within the technical team like Production engineers QC/QA department Maintenance team Utility operators Report equipment issues, downtime, and process deviations. Maintain clear communication during shift handover. Housekeeping & Continuous Improvement Maintain 5S implementation in the department. Identify opportunities for process optimization and productivity improvement. Support continuous improvement and operational excellence initiatives.
