About Me

ABB robot specialist with more than 20 years of hands-on experience programming, simulating and commissioning ABB industrial robots. I work exclusively with ABB robots (RAPID, RobotStudio, IRC5 and OmniCore controllers). My background is end-of-line packaging automation for the pharmaceutical industry, delivered together with ABB and pharmaceutical integrators, plus robotic composite applications featured as an ABB Success Story (2004). I lead projects end to end, from concept and Digital Twin simulation to programming, commissioning and GxP validation (GAMP 5, IQ/OQ, FAT/SAT). I work remotely from Slovenia (EU) through my company Tehnik d.o.o.: RobotStudio simulation and cycle-time studies, and offline programming of ABB robots. Where your ABB controllers have remote access enabled and you approve it, I can connect remotely for program upload, testing support and troubleshooting, following your IT/OT security rules (ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity).
