Over four months, Sam Harrier developed and enhanced the AMRC-FactoryPlus/amrc-connectivity-stack, focusing on robust backend features for industrial connectivity. He migrated core modules to ES module syntax, implemented a polled Edge RTDE driver, and improved MTConnect polling reliability, all using TypeScript and Node.js. His work included advanced JSON and MQTT message handling, detailed error logging, and refined data parsing to support reliable metric reporting. By consolidating driver logic, enhancing local development setup, and updating documentation, Sam ensured maintainable, scalable integration for robotics and IoT workflows. The engineering demonstrated depth in protocol handling, configuration management, and full stack development.
