    Hi

    I would like to ask someone who works at UR, what is your night work like?

    Is something being repaired or is it such an on-call and you can get drunk? :)

    best regards :)

    And would production during the day be different from production at night? (if we are talking about serious bets). The atmosphere is probably a bit looser (no management, etc.), but why do all this combination at the beginning of your professional career (as I assume after your previous topic)

    Forget, you are either repairing what was started during the day, or something of your own in the workshop, or you change the machines or something breaks out.
    Generally, night is worse than daily. 'Cause you're not gonna jump out partially or get anything done.
    And the night work is good for h ... and the cat.

    It probably depends on the plant.
    For me, there is no difference .. that is, removing failures and inspecting and repairing defects on machines that are idle.
    Night or day the same rule applies that the job is to be done.
    In practice, a nightstand is not equal to a nightstand.

    It can be different, nights are statistically lighter than days' wages, but that's not the rule!
    I was in a plant, where night is a hard nut for maintenance, because one time, that a truncated staff (they only exhibited automation specialists, because the automation will take over everything), two that closed warehouses, worse access to parts and three, which are often worse in production, are often operated by "failures in various ways to rest or kimna. Sometimes it will be a parameter in the panel, sometimes they will block something mechanically, but there are also such rude plays that all ur night on equal feet is looking for a solution to the defect.

    I agree with the predecessors, night night is not equal. Sometimes you get lazy and sometimes you have to fight a breakdown all night, and then it's not nice. He works on maintenance in a medium-sized brewery and when there is a breakdown at night, due to the shortened staff, sometimes he doesn't even have anyone to consult with and you have to figure it out yourself. There is only an automatic and a mechanic on the night shift, so sometimes there is something to do.

    What about disaster recovery? You push them to the next shift or someone is controlling that your shift is to do it.

    At night, you control yourself how the factory is standing all night, and it turns out that the next change will make you accountable.

    One more important thing - if you work shifts, in eighths or twelve, you have a lot of free time for private studies, you can even run your business legally. It's a very big benefit to work shifts in ur - as long as you're good at what you do of course.

    And what does the team at UR look like, so does it work two electricians / automation specialists and two mechanics, does it depend on the factory? My main point is that two heads are better than one.

    This is probably too general a question, Wojciech. I have been to start-ups in plants where there is a full team of 2 mechanics, an electrician and an automation specialist at night. And I have been to those where an automaton or mechanic stayed on the night

    @ cosmos99 well, my colleague's attitude to work is right.

    Buddy, like you, you ask about something like that on the technical forum, where you like technology - this is automation - they have a passion, not an unpleasant duty .. Give peace ... :)

    I don't think we understood each other. My point is that not every problem can be solved in one shift, so the robot flies to the next shift and does anyone control it at all?

    @Wojciech.. buddy, you do what you can, if you can, you remove the failure, if for some reason you can't do it, it's difficult - you call for support, you download colleagues from the day shift - the next time you will be smarter and you will do it yourself.

    Sure it controls, downtimes are monitored and your assessment depends on it too.

    it depends on the plant.

Topic summary

Night shifts for electricians and automation specialists often involve maintenance tasks such as repairing machinery, troubleshooting failures, and conducting inspections. The workload can vary significantly depending on the plant's operational status and staffing levels. While some nights may be less demanding, others can require intense problem-solving, especially when staff is limited. Communication and collaboration with day shift colleagues are crucial for addressing unresolved issues. The experience can differ based on the specific plant environment and the team composition, which may include a mix of electricians, automation specialists, and mechanics.
