Customer Reviews(8)
Dustin did a great job adding some additional features requested to the PLC program after the original modification he had done earlier this year.
Dustin started out on the robot programming side of our system install at BMW, but was utilized on the PLC side for almost the entire project. Very talented programmer. We will definitely use him again in the future.
Dustin was key in modifying our turntable removing old components and adding new items, and reprogramming the SEW and PLC. Will definitely use Dustin on future projects.
Jason at NRTC - Dustin did an awesome job on this project for us. Will definitely want to utilize his talents again on our next project.
Dustin did a great job with the programming changes to our IP Foaming line upgrade. PLC and HMI changes were made. Thanks Dustin!
Dustin came out for Fanus support on a first time start up of a machine and was key in making this go smoothly.
Dustin did a fantastic job for us and we will continue to use him.
Dustin has done a great job on the BMW project over the last 2 years. Looking forward to working with Dustin on our next project.
