Professional Competencies

Commissioning 100% of success over the last 20 years

Over the years I worked with multiple companies and I was able to build an experience over multiple equipment of a production line, I had to build some of those equipment, install them trouble shoot, program some of them and start them up. A typical new installation over a new project will include the steps I’m mentioning bellow, so we reach a full project commissioning.

1st portion of the project, I first managed the space that we determine in advance, so the line would fit, measuring, pictures, modification of the space in case we have anything in the way, we prepare the terrain for the specific production line

2ed portion of the project I managed the riggers team, that will handle laying down all the equipment.

3rd step I managed the mechanical team to install the equipment, mechanical drawings in hand, if mistakes are made we will always find either a local solution to make it work or call the OEM and work it with them. the mechanical aspect of the project will include installation of air supply, water supply, steam… all the energies supply.

4th step I managed the electrical team, drawings in hand and solution to any problem will be resolved on site, if we need any type of transformers, I will determine the lowed and order them.

5th step trouble shooting the system after we power it up. and all energies are in place.

6th step Programming I use it as well during the trouble shooting process in order to diagnose the issues in a faster way, than I handle all the interlocks communication between the equipment and program them, because as we know, a production line could be made from different OEM equipment, to program the communication interface, it always depend on the communication protocol that was used, nowadays we are most likely using ethernet with switch managers as the Cisco AB devices. So, the interlocks could be through produce and consume tags, or messaging, or they could be hard wired.

I also trouble shoot each machine program individually, in case the OEM didn’t have enough time to finish the program over their site or to fully test it, because of so many reasons

7th step of the project will be focused over training operators, mechanical, electricians and programmers

Final step production baby sitting raising production efficiency, detecting the issues and resolving them, raising the line rendering, to satisfy the signed contract most of the line efficiencies are at a 98% of efficiency and rendering.
