Responsible for all support issues for productions lines, remote users, milling machines, routing machines, wireless network utilization and troubleshooting, Citrix apps, vpn, voip, sap software, varied client computer software, printers, barcode printers, mobile lift computers, telnet terminal emulation, handheld computers, handheld mobile barcode printers. At Virco, I brought a solution to the ongoing wireless utilization problem by observing repeated failures and working to find a path to discovering the cause that was a vendor with a dual radio robot that was attached to a MIT wireless engineer that showed us the poor practices that were in place by design that the manufacturer did not warn against in their product. The bulk of the production and material management was all on wireless at the largest plant in the company.
