Asset Manager - Worldwide

We are seeking an experienced Asset Manager to join our team at PaneraTech. As an Asset Manager, you will have a vital role in building strong relationships with our customers and ensuring the successful execution of the Digital Furnace Monitoring (DFM) program. Your expertise will be instrumental in guiding customers to interpret data findings and providing valuable insights to optimize their operations.

Who We Are

PaneraTech, Inc., strives to be one of the most innovative technology companies in the world, developing unique solutions that far surpass expectations. We help heavy manufacturing industries reliably make more product with their critical assets.

Many heavy manufacturing industries such as steel, glass, cement, copper, and aluminum use high temperature processing to melt materials. They rely on critical assets to melt tons of these materials in a day. These industries have relied on the experience of employees who would work for 20-30 years in one plant to manage this process. Now that this experienced generation is retiring away, what we do is bridge this experience gap with technology, data and expertise. We offer solutions to our customers to make their process more data-driven so that a young inexperienced workforce can flourish.

Our core technologies include industrial sensor solutions and data analytics, accelerating the industry 4.0 revolution. With our patented solution in the glass and steel industry, we help manufacturers in over 40 countries make data-driven decisions using sensors, data, and AI.
