Continuous improvement projects are developed by redesigning the PLC programs and the HMI programs of the control systems of the bread manufacturing machines to be able to interact in the processes. Tracking control failures through the PLCs of the Allend Bradley and Siemens brands and then being able to make improvements if necessary. Assignment of technicians to carry out electrical wiring tasks in carrying out continuous improvement projects. Likewise, the corrective, preventive and predictive maintenance program is managed in the control systems of automated machines used specifically in the production of products.
The control systems have been updated by migrating the PLCs that manage the RS Logix 500 software to Studio 5000 and RS Logix 5000, configuring all the accessories and attachments necessary for the project such as variable speed drives, sensors. Kinetix modules, security modules, vision systems, remote input, and output modules, in different communication networks such as Ethernet, DeviceNet, Profibus, etc. Likewise, HMI programming has been carried out from scratch when migrating the control systems, creating the necessary screens that meet the needs, implementing the security levels, animations, and implementation of macros. Continuous improvement projects are developed, redesigning the PLC programs and the screens of the control systems to be able to interact in the processes where it is most convenient. Tracking control failures through the PLCs of the Allend Bradley, Siemens and Omron brands, to then be able to make improvements if necessary. Maintenance, programming, and start-up (Mastering) of Fanuc brand robots. I have also carried out the programming of corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance. Preventive, corrective, and predictive maintenance of vision systems of different brands that are used in production areas for the verification of the manufactured product. Assignment and verification of unionized and trusted personnel to carry out electrical and mechanical maintenance as well as for continuous improvement projects. Likewise, the management and programming of corrective, preventive and predictive maintenance is carried out in the control systems in automated machines used specifically in the production of the products being made. Management of quotes and suppliers of special parts. BECTON AND DIKINSON – ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN 2020 – 2021 Integration of Fanuc Robots into a production line by updating the process. Here the new robots are put into operation and intercommunication is carried out between the PLC of the machines and the robots. For the robot to take the pieces leaving the manufacturing machines to pack them, doing the programming in studio 500 and sending signals from the PLCs to the Robots by means of a message through the Ethernet network. BECTON AND DIKINSON – ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN 2018 – 2019 Migration of obsolete PLCs of the SLC 500, MicroLogix 1100 and 1400 family that use the RS Logix 500 software. Likewise, the HMIs that were also obsolete from the 500, 900 and 1000 family were changed to 6 production lines with 10 machines each. The PLCs that were selected were from the CompactLogix family, which were programmed with the Studio 5000 software and the HMIs that were selected were from the plus 7 family using the Factory Talk software with their respective tools. Both PLC programs using the previous PLC programs as a base but for the new ones with improvements and integration of all the peripherals that the machine used, as well as new accessories are implemented such as centralized valve banks of the SMC family with communication Ethernet. In the HMI's, new screens were created with animations and programming the security levels. All this is put into operation and ready to work, lowering the required specifications and validations, which were also supported in part for documentation. BECTON AND DIKINSON – ELCTRONIC TECHNICIAN 2019 – 2019 Installation and commissioning of Keyence vision systems in a Production Line. It consisted of doing the physical installation and creating programs in the PLC's and HMIs of this system to be able to inspect the parts, and also know when they will be rejected when the parts do not meet the specifications. Along with the configuration of the vision systems so that they worked according to the necessary requirements. BECTON AND DIKINSON – ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN 2018 – 2019 Installation and start-up of Biotec vision systems in a production line. It consisted of doing the physical installation and creating programs in the PLC's and HMIs of this system to be able to inspect the parts, and also know when they will be rejected when the parts do not meet the specifications. Along with the configuration of the vision systems so that they worked according to the necessary requirements. BECTON AND DIKINSON – ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN 2017 – 2018 Installation and start-up of Captic vision systems in a production line. It consisted of doing the physical installation and creating programs in the PLC's and HMIs of this system to be able to inspect the parts, and know when they will be rejected when the parts do not meet the specifications. Along with the configuration of the vision systems so that they worked according to the necessary requirements. BECTON AND DIKINSON – ELECTRONIC TECHNICIAN 2014 Migration and implementation project where the electrical plan had to be made in AutoCAD. Development of a test to carry out the parts in 2 production lines. The design of the parts was carried out to send them to manufacture in addition to programming the routine in the PLC, as well as the screens to be able to carry out this test manually as well as do different tests to know if the sensors were working correctly.
Corrective, preventive and predictive management and maintenance of the electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and control systems of automated machines that are used in the petrochemical industry (PEMEX), among others, specifically supporting the task of changing the "exchangers of heat." Likewise, corrective, preventive and predictive maintenance is carried out on electrical, electronic, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and control systems in automated machines used specifically for high-pressure cleaning, used in the petrochemical industry. (PEMEX), as well as among other individuals from different fields in the industry; for example, automotive, and chemicals. Preparation of maintenance plans. Preventive and corrective maintenance of chiller control systems and carrier brand and Kaeser brand air compressors. The brands of the equipment are Peineman, jetstream and hamelman.
Preventive and predictive corrective management and maintenance of plastic sheet extrusion production lines. Detection and solution of mechanical, electrical, electronic and control failures within the production line Preparation of maintenance procedures. The equipment that made up the production line is about 4 extrusion machines, two of Italian origin and two of Chinese origin, with everything and accessories of the production lines.
Preventive, corrective and predictive management and maintenance of automated equipment, such as doors. Allen Bradley and Siemens PLC programming.
