Absolutely I updated the JD so the PLC requirement is much clearer: candidates do not need all four platforms, but they should have strong hands-on experience with at least 2 of these 4: Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, Beckhoff, and CODESYS. Your intake notes also make robot programming/logic, simulation tools such as Rockwell Emulate3D or FANUC simulation, and SolidWorks valuable differentiators.
