FactoryWiz, a leading provider of machine and asset monitoring software, recently named John B. Lucier as Eastern sales manager. Lucier previously served as the national automation manager for Methods Machine Tools.
Born and raised in central Massachusetts, Lucier began his career in manufacturing as a shop floor machinist, then after a few years of shop programming and setting up CNC machines, he moved into the world of machine tools. Lucier spent the next 28 years at Methods Machine Tools, first as an applications engineer, eventually advancing to national automations manager.
Lucier used his machine tool knowledge, together with his automation knowledge, to develop, build, and sell automation solutions for the metalworking industry.
“John is the right guy for the continued growth of FactoryWiz,” said Richard Hefner, FactoryWiz president. “John’s extensive machine tool background and sales experience should help FactoryWiz strengthen channel partnerships, develop strategic alliances and expand our brand presence. We believe his strong experience will help FactoryWiz during our continued expansion and growth.”
“I first became acquainted with the team at FactoryWiz more than 20 years ago, and back then, they were already pushing the limits on using machine controls in ways others had not,” Lucier said. “I’m excited to be part of the team and to use my knowledge to help customers realize the benefits of FactoryWiz Monitoring and DNC. I look forward to helping our industry become more connected and to embrace IOT and Smart Manufacturing.”
