AUTOMATED DESIGN AND CONTROL
November, 2003 to Present
Lehigh Acres, FL
Senior Controls Engineer/ Independent Contractor
We created, developed, and implemented multiple PLC/ HMI/ Servo application
programs for the installation of manufacturing equipment. As the Senior
Controls Engineer, I designed electrical schematics for different
packaging, material handling, building material and conveyor systems
ensuring project completion both on time and within budget.
? Helped develop/test PLC program for Miami/Atlanta Airport programming;
testing included I/O check of each MCP, getting
conveyors up and going, setting up VFD's, setting up tracking on in
tracking zones, developing logic for sortation of bags.
. Supervised $3MM Web Van project from initialization to completion;
assisted in project design, developed timeline, hired contractors, ordered
material, and generated regular reports tracking project progress to upper
level management. Project consisted of conveying system with 200+
conveyors.
. Managed $2MM conveying system for carpet manufacturer. Developed
ControlLogix program, RSView ME and designed electrical schematics
allowing for 100+ conveyors using bar code scanners, which diverted carpet
rolls to various unloading stations. Developed Devicenet program for all
remote devices.
. Developed ControlLogix program and RSView S.E. (Distributed) application
for Railroad Winch application. Developed ControlNet and DeviceNet for all
remote devices/rack. Converted manual process which moved railcars hitched
together each full of sugar cane and to be dumped on a conveyor, where the
mill processed the sugar cane.
. I spearheaded the development of a ControlLogix and RSView M.E HMI
program for Pre-Punch Roll Form system. Converted relay logic control to
automated system. Pre-punch system consisted of an old analog servo
indexer which was converted into a digital servo drive (Ultra 3000). Save
company $10,000/month in scrap cost and downtime. Developed Devicenet
program for all remote devices.
. Developed SLC-500 and RSView M.E program and designed electrical
schematics for $200K Needle Assembly machine upgrade Converted existing
controls using cams for positioning to a vector control drive with
encoder drive with encoder to increase productivity and reduced machine
downtime.
. Assisted in development and commissioning of Pick on Fly Robot system, in
which robot picks glass off moving conveyor and stacks it to a rack.
. Designed electrical schematics and assisted in development of
ControlLogix and RSView M.E program for USG Spacer Placement Gantry
System. Gantry consisted of 7-axis servo using Kinetix Multi-Axis Drives
that placed a divider between boards enabling fork truck driver easier
access for pick-up and eliminating manual labor. ControlNet, DeviceNet,
and Sercos for all remote devices/rack and communication.
. Modified and reprogrammed ControlLogix and RSView M.E. program on a $7 MM
case and sorter conveyor system consisting of 250+ conveyors to increase
plant throughput by 12%. Modified PLC and Devicenet program for barcode
reader misreads. Tuned and adjusted parameters on Powerflex drives on
conveyor system, and modified palletizers program to increase efficiency.
. Developed SLC-500 and HMI program for Veneer system. Worked with
mechanical engineering staff to designed a prototype system where sheets
of wood after being shaved are transferred to dryer in order to eliminate
manual labor. Hired contractors, ordered material, and maintain electrical
budget.
. Worked with mechanical engineering staff for development of prototype
glass stacker. Designed electrical schematics and developed SLC-500 and
PanelView programs for 6 axis glass stacker system, which unloads glass
off moving conveyor and stacks it for robot unloading.
TYCO HEALTHCARE
June, 2000 to November,2003
Deland, FL
Plant Engineer
I designed, developed and implemented multiple PLC & HMI programs for
medical manufacturing equipment. In addition, I collaborated with other
engineering disciplines in order to generate cost saving projects that
increased production while reducing cost.
. Modified existing PLC program on a $5MM packaging machine for medical
manufacturer. Changed existing VFD's to Servo control drives and modified
the robot program for better placement of parts, increasing productivity
from 55% to 90%.
. Developed PLC and HMI program and designed electrical schematics for
$200K Needle Assembly machine upgrade. Converted existing controls using
cams for positioning to a vector control drive with encoder to increase
productivity and reduced machine downtime.
. I worked with corporate engineering staff to convert Tig welder to Plasma
Welder. Redesigned controls and welding process to save company estimated
$20,000/ month in scrap and downtime.
. Analyzed and modified plant programs for new installations to increase
efficiency.
BRIDGESTONE/ FIRESTONE CO.

developed PLC programs and electrical schematics for leading tire industry
manufacturer for new and existing machinery, included the control upgrading
of equipment such as extruders, banbury mixers, tire machines and conveyor
systems, using US built controls. In addition, I directed and trained
maintenance in troubleshooting various types of machine and also
coordinated preventive maintenance in an effort to decrease machine
downtime.
. Developed program, electrical schematics, and conduit schedule for $750K
tire machine upgrade. Converted controls from relay logic to PLC (PLC-
5/PanelView), thereby increasing troubleshooting capabilities and reducing
production downtime.
. Designed and developed program (PLC-5/PanelView), and electrical
schematics for a $500K Bias Cutter modification. Upgrade increased
productivity and reduced ergonomic risk to operators due to control
improvements.
