Giving hardware a second life
The first challenge showed up on day one, while I was touring the plant: a pile of equipment abandoned after a supermarket closed down, from peripherals to server hardware.
I cleaned, tested and rebuilt every machine to put it back to work. With that equipment I set up a pool of standby PCs: if an operator's computer failed, I swapped it on the spot and their work never stopped. What had been taking up space as scrap became a saving.
I also kept the inventory of computers, monitors and peripherals up to date until my last day.
