(items listed in chronological order, newest first)
  • Reverse engineered a "black box" dust filtration PLC controller. This malfunctioning device cut the plant's production by 40%-60% for months due to environmental issues caused by dust emission.
    Replaced it with a Siemens PLC, wrote the logic, and led the rest of the hardware installation activities. Production rate returned to nominal.
  • Created a cloud based, semi-automatic PLC modification approval system that digitizes records, validates user input, and makes the approval process across departments transparent and convenient. Benchmarked across the business unit.
  • Team leader for motor control center rehabilitation. The project was implemented ahead of time, within budget, and without unforeseen incidents.
  • Restored the automatic functionality of a material stacking system which had been out of order for many years. Simplified the programming without reducing machine safety interlocks, and eliminated 3rd party consultation costs.
  • Program translator, project coordinator, and commissioning engineer for a plantwide PLC upgrade. Understanding both the old and the new system ensured minimal errors in conversion. Hands on involvement on the electrical modifications across the plant during this project.
