Troubleshooting and improving equipment. Looking for issues with cycle time and pinch points. Worked with vendors to figure out appropriate metrology tools and capabilities. Developed different mechanical bracketry when implementing new Keyence AI camera via fusion 360 and 3d printing technology for camera and light ring without a bracket supplied by Keyence (Currently under copyright protection).

– Global MES Electrical Controls Engineer 2 Worked as Floater and Moved from support to solutions. Was responsible for integrating new Material handling and robotics lines in First Solar plants. Worked on Ignition Scada projects as well as Projects involving upgrading Kinetix 5500 servo control systems.

– MES Electrical Controls Engineer 1 Integrating new lines. SQL query pulling do establish proper data transfer to databases. Primary support of factory floor on night shift. Modifying and creating new routines. Robot programming changes. Vision programming changes with Cognex and Keyence. Implementing and creating change requests for new systems. Experience with Studio 5000 RS logix 5000 and 500. Configuring OPC topics. Function block, structured text, and ladder logic programming.

– Electrical Controls Technician troubleshoot logic with studio logic 5000. Adjust programs as needed. replace and troubleshoot electrical components of the equipment. Working with traffic control and complex conveyor systems with WIP tracking. HMI programming edits with factory talk ME. Servo drive replacement and VFD replacement. Implementing logic changed and bypasses. Working with the IT department and MES to manage data from equipment. Keyence and Cognex vision system adjustment. Networking New controllers in the asset center and adding them to VMI. Also took several Allen Bradley programming classes in RS Logix 5000 and Keyence vision systems while working here. I also work with Fanuc robots, modifying and editing robot programs. We also complete change requests coming from production and the engineering department. I have a General Associates degree from American Military University, and I have taken most classes that Allen Bradley has to offer with drive systems and RSLogix 5000.

I was responsible for overseeing maintenance and other personnel on my shift. Performs the roll of a process engineer by seeing what programming, electrical, or mechanical changes can be added to boost the efficiency of the machines. Also, works as a bridge between engineering and maintenance to get communication flowing efficiently. I have AutoCAD electrical and mechanical experience. I have experience with troubleshooting Fanuc robots and teaching the robot. I have experience with new and old Allen Bradley PLCs editing programs when changes need to be made. Also, I have some HMI Factory Talk Experience. Currently, I am getting a degree in Computer Programming from American Military University while working the 3rd shift and maintaining above a 3.3 GPA. I am also responsible for the fabrication of new devices on equipment and making sure everything is in order with parts that need to be ordered.

Troubleshooting networking and software-related issues for retina scanning devices. Responsible for ordering and controlling maintenance flow of parts, and planning weekly schedule based on customer needs. I am responsible for the mid-Michigan region all the way down to mid-Ohio. Currently Using CRM to control and update maintenance and customer flow.

Performed sequence fixes and changes using RS logix 500, and 5000. I am one of two electricians in the plant responsible for running power and bending conduit. Performed daily maintenance on plc to pc interfaces with batching systems, osmonics systems. I have AutoCAD experience with updating electrical and mechanical prints daily. I use machining equipment such as mills lathes and fabricate parts for the machine. I am not certified, but can MIG, TIG, and stick weld when necessary.

as a lead machine tool electrician at Hirata USA. I worked on conveyers, IR vision systems, Siemens PLCs. Because of my previous BTI technical Knowledge, I was given the position to debug and red line prints, and sometimes to just make things work when others couldn't. I typically have around 3 class 2 electricians working under me most of the time. I have done everything from wiring cabinets to programming fixes, to bending conduit and industrial wiring, mounting, and connecting transformers. Laying out, adjusting power plans, and some basic machining. worked with wiring ABB robots, and Fanuc robots at BTI.
