Senior Controls Engineer

Designs and program controls for new product production lines and testing equipment for producing new proprietary credit and bank cards along with biometric and scan security cards. Using Allen Bradley PLC’s and HMI’s, “AutomationDirect” Productivity PAC’s and PLC’s with “AdavancedHMI’s” drivers with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 to produce custom HMI’s and pass Production data and traceability from all PLC’s to SQL Server Database. Multiple Epson Robots to place component parts on PCBA’s. Laser Cutters and servo’s to place adhesive pads to secure the battery’s to the PCBA’s. Leaning away from proprietary and expensive software in the controls to Open source software that can be changed as needed for the company. The custom HMI’s have the ability to pass data between multiple PLC's at the same time and are less expense than the HMI’s from Allen Bradley. This makes a fast and easily expandable and maintainable SCADA system. Easy to tune to the company's needs as they change. Key Safety Systems Inc. Lakeland, FL August 2004 to July 2016 Dell
