Instrumental in implementing Real Time Data Acquisition Systems(MMS and IFIX) to

help solve problems with production and pinpoint bottlenecks in our operations thus saving

time, money along with improving vendor (supplier) inefficiencies. Developed

applications in VB and C as well as developed reports and tools on our Intranet.

Provided a vision and implemented an off-the-shelf solution to collect and track Birth

at Cleveland Engine Plant 2 (CEP2). The engine genealogy can be accessed on a secure

Intranet Web site using a simple Web browser.

Installed a UNIX based system to centralize and automatically backup all PLC Logic on

the plant floor in CEP2. This is quickly becoming part of the Preventative Maintenance

System for the Plant. Our other plants on site also have plans for implementation.

Established, designed and implemented an Energy Management System for the CEP Site,

which showed a substantial savings.

Single-handedly engineered a plan to replace the currently unsupported Building

Management System with an off-the-shelf package called WEB-At-Glance which will

interface with our current infrastructure thereby providing a cost avoidance to the plant.

The BMS System will monitor energy as well as control air-handlers and chillers.

Developed Software for Nordson Corporation that controlled electrostatic paint gun booths

via AB PLC5’s, P420 Motion Controllers and interfaced by GUI applications I developed

in ‘C’ programming language. This effectively eliminated manual spraying of parts for the

end user thus reducing millions of dollars in Direct Costs.
