  • 3M Tapper Machine : Operate the 3M tapper (case taper) machine to securely seal cases with consistent tape application, ensuring proper adhesion, packaging integrity, and efficient end-of-line flow.
  • Maintenance and Troubleshooting :

  • Conduct regular operator checks and perform minor repairs to prevent equipment malfunctions and prolong machinery life.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical issues swiftly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and optimizing productivity.
  • Quality Control :

  • Rigorously perform quality control checks, including verifying seal integrity, checking code dates, and ensuring each product meets strict company and regulatory standards.

  • Documentation and Record Keeping :

  • Accurately record production data such as output volumes, batch timings, and machine settings, ensuring transparency and traceability in production processes.
