Johnathan — Controls Engineer, Project Manager

Studio5000 v.24, v.28, v.30, v.31, 32, CCW, Powerflex FactoryTalk ME/SE Guardlogix and safety controllers

Can program in Ladder, structured text (STL) and FBD (function block) in this controller. Have used Siemens controllers in such facilities as 3M, BMW, and BF Goodrich among others.

Last used Ver 8.0 and 8.1, for production line start up. Have created platform and setups for operators and machine/process statistics

SoMachineBasic Programming Software Vijeo Designer HMI

Have used beckoff controllers and XAE shell to program complex math and PID functions in STL programming. Have also used ladder and function block programming in this system but prefer to use STL/written logic for this controller since it is similar to programming in PASCAL & Siemens STL.

Used the omron CX controller for consulting work with a capacitor/chipset manufacturer in a clean room environment. Have used to setup door safety interlocks and other machine functionality in the native ladder logic programs, have also used the function blocks and other looping/step-increment capabilities in the CX programmer software

Providing solutions to problems and adding continuos improvement when given the opportunity.

Have led several teams of engineers, technicians, and maintenance personel in high pressure/high priority projects

AB, Siemens, Schneider, KOYO, and others

Able to effectively communicate between client, vendors, and staff to achieve project milestones. This communication is necessary to convey high level concepts in a technical way to others that will be completing the work. I consider myself as more of a technical manager in most cases.

Lead a team of instrumentation technicians and planned the installation of all measurement devices used on the GE gas turbine test run. Also worked with GE Wind/Clemson Research Facility on confidential wind shaft strain testing in Charleston SC.

Instrumentation and Controls Engineer, performed PLC programming for several clients and site-acceptance test setup using VMs. Also performed field-acceptance testing with Oracle.

Performed work with Eddy Current machines, using S7 Siemens/WinCC devices.

Successfully executed IT infrastructure and modular design projects for the datacenter industry, averaging a profit margin of 25-30% gross profit (> $35M, and managing operational budget $148M) Responsible for financial portfolio, milestones, vendor management, manufacturing support and facilitating field/site teams for commissioning and startup project phases. Scheduled product reviews and weekly touchpoints with quality, facility, and corporate leadership to communicate goals and expectations while managing relationship with end-customer. Responsible for all project deliverables and metrics. Managed several direct reporting Project Managers, assistants and coordinators. Contract currently nearing completion date.

Created continuous improvement and KPI tracking logic for multiple production environments. Tracked various stats for engineering and management which included successful part production, rejected parts, reasons for rejection, exceptions, uptime, downtime, and planned maintenance tracking. Created visuals in SCADA environments for operators, web interfaces for management access to view production platforms, and various shortcut menus to give plant quick access to advanced options quickly with reduced navigation. Reduced manufacturing waste from 40% to <9% through refining automation standards and processes. Performs SAT, FATs, PLC programming, SCADA, HMI integration, and vision systems within scope. Spearheaded regional continuous improvement projects in the southeast U.S. leading to increased profit for the corrugated pipe manufacturing division. Responsible for scheduling, budgetary, engineering, and implementation of advanced machinery. Facilitates coordination between external vendors and internal corporate clientele for the automation and electrical engineering team. Provides continuous improvement and safety implementations within project scope. Participates in project kick-off, close out, and tracks project milestones to identify areas that can see additional benefit and reduce budget within reason. Monitors and tracks project expenditures and man-power, schedules and facilitates external training if required.

Manages control engineering based projects for AGV, pharmaceutical and other clients using beckoff, siemens, and rockwell platforms. Teaches and develops interns from various college institutions in the area, performs SAT/FAT commissioning for clients, occasionally participates in electrical design and review meetings. Manages project scope and debug execution. Performs safety validation testing and conforms to pLe safety standards.

Led robot and AGV novigation efforts for 3 datacenter deployments, which included logical programming, tolerances, functionality and creating training documentation for AGVs. Also created automation website and portal to access procedures and pertinent real-time data for all AGvs in use.

Led a team of controls engineers and technicians perfomring upgrades to production equipement and implementing network gateways to outdated machinery to establish online tracking and capability to obtain production stats for corporate. Also created CAD drawings and electrical diagrams to support machine modifications and programming documentation when systems were updated.

Made several line improvements thru two operator stations, to remove possibility of human error and increase throughput of their "first-time-correct" production of the GMC arcadia transmission. Imporvements were made to correctly calculate drag torque offset requirements

Worked with several clients such as BMW, Honeywell and 3M on multiple integation projects that included S7, Controllogix, Zenon HMI intergration, Ignition, and Panelview/FactoryTalk

Eastern U.S./Canada -Manages all control systems/integration projects for Eastern United States (9 facilities) and Canada (2 facilities). Integration projects include electrical and mechanical. -Provides project estimates, scope of work, and coordinates with vendors to complete installations, retrofits, and removal of existing/new control system hardware -Contributes cross-functional leadership between plant management and corporate engineering to create solutions for ongoing issues, continuous improvement, and production requirements -Creates control system architecture, including but not limited to CAD drawings, panel fabrications, and wiring diagrams -Manages technicians and provides guidance for maintenance staff when applicable to complete projects -Troubleshoots electrical related issues, as well as mechanical issues if necessary. -Logix5000, RS500, S7, TIA Portal, Schneider, KOYO, DL06 PLC experience -HMI/SCADA

MES integration with barcode readers to verify VIN numbers of BMW dashboards,

Designed and executed various projects in the Electrical, instrumenation, controls, and fire protection disciplines. This included in most cases, estimating labor hours, construction, submitting proposals to clients and performing the design work for the tasks. Lead and managed some smaller projects indepedently, participated in larger scale projects as a group.
