At Advanced Gauging Technologies, accurate measurement starts with the people behind the equipment.
Our field service technicians work directly on customer lines, ensuring our gauging systems are installed, maintained, and performing exactly as they should; even in the toughest mill environments.
This week’s Technician Tuesday spotlight features Jim Russell, one of the dedicated professionals who helps keep our customers’ operations running smoothly.

Jim has been part of the AGT team for 13 years, and his favorite part of the job has always been the people he’s met along the way. One of his most memorable experiences was traveling to Korea for a startup; a trip that was originally planned for one week but unexpectedly turned into three due to a surprise quarantine. Despite the unexpected extension, Jim says, “I will never forget the kind people I met and how serene everything was…and the food was incredible.”
Outside of work, Jim’s favorite place to visit is Grand Cayman, a destination that never fails to impress. He also loves cheering on the Buckeyes every Saturday during football season and is a big Joe Burrow fan. Bonus tip: if you ever get the chance to grab a meal with Jim, you can’t go wrong with Italian.
From on-site troubleshooting to preventative maintenance and system optimization, our technicians bring expertise, reliability, and a customer-first mindset to every service visit.
👏 Thank you, Jim Russell, for the work you do and the value you bring to our customers every day!
