Programming Skills (12)
Years of experience Commissioning and programming CompactLogix and ControlLogix w/ and w/o integrated GuardLogix. as well as ample experience with Powerflex drives from PF4 to PF70 including PF523's, 525's, & 527's.
Substantial experience Integrating a variety of Keyence hardware for proper assembly verification, barcoded part tracking and QA. Including use of IV cameras for inspection of part installation and LJ scanner for pin height verification on 128 pin VCM. Have also used multiple Keyence SV area scanners and GL-R light curtains for safety applications.
Extensive Experience over the last 4+ years integrating Cognex Smart Cameras and scanners for numerous part inspection, positioning applications, and OCR. Including development and integration of highly complex spreadsheet applications that allowed for significant flexibility and machine configuration solely using the Cognex Spreadsheet program.
Most recently used the new Fanuc CRX-10iA/L in a tracking application doing close quarters (~4") non contact measurements on finished production cars and trucks for Nissan, Canton, MS. Recent in depth experience integrating Fanucs for machine tending application using iRvision for bin picking with tight clearences, protected using DCS. Other experience interfacing and modifying TPP's on numerous projects over the last 5 years as well as early project ROBOGUIDE simulations and PalletTool setup.
Recently spent 3 months developing robot integrated vehicle tracking program from scratch. This project required the integration of multiple 3rd party co.ponents of profinet, this include 2 new Fanuc CRX's, RTA Conversion boxes for Ethernet IP and Socket connections as well as ANYBUS modules for TCP/IP. Also integrated this wirh GE Cimplicity for HMI and basic scada operations.
Completed 2 projects in 2017 and 2018 that used Epson RC600 Controlers with Scara Robots, My experience is with modifying existing code, pick point calibration, and creation of new Epson Vision Picking Applications.
Recent experience developing an assembly machine application from scratch using Siemens TIA Portal, required integration of multiple other manufacturers including Rexroth Drives, Rexroth Tightening System, and Cognex Hardware; in addition to Siemens VFD's and HMI.
Used Sysmac Studio as the overhead controller in a robotic filling machine tending application.

Customer Reviews(5)
Jeremy has been a great help to us for the last 9 months. Was great to have his support and knowledge of Siemens PLCs and Keyence vision systems.
Jeremy helped us again out of a bind. We had a system down and he was able to come right out and get our robot back up and running. Thanks again for the quick response and excellent knowledge of the system.
Jeremy was of great help in supporting our commissioning and debug.
We all Respect the Heck out of Jeremy. He is very talented and proved it by getting an old Italian machine running while working on line with an Italian Tech in Italy that does not speak English!! So, This was our YOKOHAMA BOOT CAMP,,,, he passed.
Jeremy was instrumental in getting our system back up and running. We have a hardware failure that lead to some communication issues with the robot, valve manifold and PLC. He dug right in and found the issue. Thanks Jeremy.
