Allen Bradley / Rockwell2002 – Henneke - BMW E53 small parts foaming stations. Complete mechanical, electrical and software design to improve the operation for the loading and unloading of 4 x small part stations for small part foaming on a robot foaming line. This required a new design concept from original design due to unreliability problems. 2003 - Mecanizados - BMW E53 and Saturn LS Vac forming Line Design and build a system that would monitor and control the preheat temperature of vinyl sheeting prior to vac forming (laminating) door panels. The new system used a matrix of temperature sensors on the upper and lower heater banks with the temperature control from Siemens HS724 controllers. The system was controlled from an AB SLC504 PLC and the data was captured to a PC based system running RSView32. Microsoft Excel was used as a way to display the vinyl temperature distribution in reatime mode. 2003 – Frimo - BMW Z4 Foaming Station. Modification to the Z4 foaming station to accommodate BMW E53 foaming tools. This would allow a backup for the E53 foaming process should there be a failure on the E53 foaming line. This required electrical redesign, as well as the writing of extensive software routines, including AB SLC505 PLC and HMI programming. 2004 - 400T Ona Vertical Press (X2) – BMW X5 / X6 door panel lower carrier manufacture. Redesign of safety circuits, including safety gates, safety posts and estop circuits. Redesign of electrical controls, machine interface and PLC software program to improve press cycle and machine reliability. 2008 – BMW E70 /E71 New Glovebox Design. Design and build test station for testing operational integrity of the new glovebox design. The tests included opening time, closing force and interior lamp operation. The installation was built into an X5 body in white, with a permanently mount IP. The glovebox on test was installed in the IP to reproduce the correct environment for testing. The control and operation of the Glovebox was through an AB SLC 504 PLC and data captured was transferred to a PC system and stored. The PC would display in realtime data from each cycle and display it in an Excel spreadsheet as a graph. Tolerances were set to monitor repeatability performance as well deviations. Total cycle count was also monitored. To confirm operation over extended operating cycles. Due to the success of the Glovebox testing the system was upgraded to include opening forces for the sunshade option as well as centre console lid operation. 2010 – Henneke - BMW E70 /E71 & VW411 IP Foaming Line Process. Redesign of the existing BMW E70 / E71 IP foaming line process to integrate it with VW411 foaming line process. This involved the design of the VW411 foaming line process as a stand alone system and then integrating the E70 / E71 IP foaming process into it. This integration involved 2 robots, 2 wet systems and 6 foaming stations. Each foaming station was controlled from a Siemens S7 300 series PLC, as was the VW411 wet system. The BMW E70 / E71 wet system was run from an AB SLC 505 system. Of the 2 robots, one had a single mixhead that was used for the BMW foaming process and the second robot had dual mixhead capability which allowed for the BMW or VW foaming process. It was also necessary to allow, where possible, the ability to run either BMW E70 tooling or VW411 tooling at specific stations. All systems were run on a common Profibus network. A SCADA system was developed to capture all necessary process data from each station for traceability purposes. All process data was displayed on a PC based HMI system running RSView32, allowing BMW & VW data to be available in real time.Good-to-Have

ABBI have experience supporting industrial automation and control projects involving ABB-integrated industrial systems, electrical controls, instrumentation, PLC automation, and industrial process operations. Over my 18+ years in automation engineering, I have worked on projects requiring integration between PLC systems, motor control equipment, drives, instrumentation, and industrial production processes commonly associated with ABB-based environments. My experience includes: Industrial automation system integration PLC programming and troubleshooting HMI/SCADA development and support Motor control and VSD integration Instrumentation and analog signal processing MCC and control panel systems Industrial communication networks FAT, SAT, and commissioning activities I have supported automation and commissioning projects involving: Manufacturing and production systems Water and wastewater treatment systems Industrial utility systems Process automation applications Electrically controlled production equipment My responsibilities included: PLC logic development and modifications Electrical and instrumentation troubleshooting I/O testing and signal validation Process sequence optimization Alarm and interlock configuration Startup and commissioning support Technical documentation and as-built updates Coordination with electrical, mechanical, and operations teams I have also worked extensively with industrial communication protocols and automation architectures integrating field devices, remote I/O, drives, and operator interfaces to ensure stable and reliable plant operation. A key accomplishment in my automation career has been successfully delivering projects from engineering and programming through commissioning and operational handover while maintaining strong communication with clients, contractors, and multidisciplinary teams. I have consistently helped improve equipment reliability, reduce downtime, and optimize automation performance during commissioning and production support phases. In addition to hands-on technical work, I have experience managing automation project execution activities such as: Functional analysis and control philosophy review Project scheduling and milestone tracking FAT/SAT coordination Contractor and vendor supervision Client reporting and technical meetings Operator training and final handover Customers value my strong troubleshooting ability, field-oriented approach, and capability to work independently in demanding industrial environments. I am comfortable supporting ABB-integrated automation environments remotely or on-site and can quickly adapt to project standards, plant requirements, and multidisciplinary engineering teams.Good-to-Have

I have been a Controls Engineer at Fremont Automation for the last few years. I started out in training, mostly doing wiring, HMI work, and basic PLC programming, but quickly became proficient at both. Within a year, the employee who trained me left and I became the sole Controls Engineer in charge of all electrical design, wiring, and programming. Since then, that has encompassed many different jobs and challenges. Since I work for a custom machine builder, I've had to work with numerous standards in several industries including: food and beverage, oil and gas, automotive, irrigation, electronics manufacturing, and general manufacturing. The particular machines have been far-ranging, including programming robotic arms, CNC laser tables, CNC wire benders, vision systems, HMIs, and PLCs, and of course integrating them all together properly. I've also had to do all the electrical design for these in AutoCAD, including specifying the specific components to fit the customer's needs and standards. I also do a lot of contract work for my company. Based on past experiences working with our customers, I've basically become the go-to guy for most programming, electrical, and troubleshooting jobs for a couple companies in the area. I'm very good at figuring out the answers to problems, I work quickly, and I work well with others. There have been a lot of challenges in this job, but that has only made me love it more. I have a real passion for every aspect of controls, and a dedication to doing it right. I work closely with the design team and have a hand in assembly as well, so that when it comes to making everything work correctly, I'm very familiar with the machine mechanically as well as electrically. When we're troubleshooting the machine, the mechanics of it are just as important as the controls, so we often have to work together to get the best solution possible.
