Address safety concerns proactively by sending your picture, mentioning you use disposable tools, and assuring clients it's fine to have someone else in the room. This shows you understand their concerns and helps build trust.
Wait until you have five or six genuinely happy clients first. Get testimonials and pictures from them before investing in ads. Master your local area first, as ads without social proof are ineffective.
Plan for 10 to 20 working days, at least. For a job check. It gets longer if your old company takes time to reply, or if the university is on holiday, or the police station is swamped.
The basics: where you worked before and when, your degree, your address, and any major criminal record. For some jobs, they might call your references, check your credit (if you say okay), or see if you're a director in any companies.
In a normal check? Very, very unlikely. They check what you give them. They aren't detectives. They won't find that one short job you left off, unless it somehow shows up in a place like the EPFO portal, which they usually don't even check.
The agency tells the company. Then HR will probably call you. 'Hey, this date doesn't match.' If it's small, you can explain it. Show a different document. If it's something big you made up, they can take the job offer back.
Forget quick wins. Think 6 to 9 months, easy. The longest part isn't deploying the 5G towers; it's the painstaking testing with every single type of old machine on your floor.
The people. You need network engineers who understand PLCs and safety systems. Your IT team doesn't have that knowledge, so you're looking at expensive contractors or a long training grind.
It's tough, but you have to push. Demand they use open standards for getting data out—things like MQTT or standard APIs. Steer clear of their proprietary app frameworks.
When your operators start using clipboards again. If they're writing down readings from a local panel because they don't trust the central system, you've got a fundamental problem. Either the data's unreliable or it's too slow.
Assuming the 5G system will just 'get' your old OT protocols. It won't. You'll likely need custom drivers, middleware, or even developers, turning a simple network upgrade into a software project.
