As a quality control Specialist at ATS Automation Consulting Engineers, I improved the module build process from cold plate improvement to SLA side brackets replacement in the 3.1 module. The cold plate and 3.1 module improvement save the company a lot of money. Instead of building and scraping the entire module which cost $2500 for each module for SAM and TIM scrap, the cold plate was simply replaced from the press and scrab which is less costly than scraping the entire module. Replacement of the SLA side brackets which provides a vertical support to a side plate angle would improve fitness and properly cover the ICB for robusticity to increase electric conductivity from terminals and increase overall module lifespan. I have also identified misalignment of cells Knulls on cells tab bend and recommended proper alignment of cells from the super track or EB 200, as well as, appropriate placement of cells in the cyclone or EB300 to improve welding mechanism and increase module lifespan. The improvements, I recommended promotes a 100% validation of all modules at MFA testing in welt, PPT and MET. QUALITY INSPECTOR; BEV automation facility at ATS Ohio, inspection, product control, PLC& HMI,controls@EB500and MFA. 100% validation test @ MFA, welt, PPT, and MET Run stacker with zero product defects. Pneumatic troubleshooting experience: Read blue prints. Knowledge of Program Logic Controllers (able to read ladder logic diagrams) Ability to machine new parts or machine parts made incorrectly. Ability to work safely Good communication skills
