Matt — Senior Automation / Controls Engineer

3D metrology for nanoscale

Scratch programmer with Rockwell plc's and hmi's

Scratch programming with twincat 2 and structured text

I've used cognex vision in several applications, mostly inspection.

Solidworks and inventor

I've built multi-site scada systems using vision using store and forward for data integrity. I went through both cert programs in 2013. I have some experience with perspective.

I led the design and deployment of a multi site scada system for a $75 million dollar company that just sold to Tyson foods for ~$3 billion 7 years after my work was put in.

I make things at work and at home. I tinker

Legacy plc systems at a stamping facility

I used Omron NX controllers for machine control and also to directly hit databases. I've been through several training courses at their Chicago facility

Mostly legacy Abb (rapid, devicenet era). I've been through the systems integrator training for both family and Abb.

Mostly inginition with a bit of plant PAX for the biotech industry. MySQL and mssql

I've used sick cubing camera's (3d) at Nintendo for a fullfilment line. I've also integrated their picking hardware and Lidar systems

My green belt project saved about $800k per line per year, a few hundred lines across the world....

I'm excited for the new "ai" hardware that will eliminate the lighting issues with vision systems
