The Corporate business is manufacturing house roofing products (shingles), and house utilities like rails, floors and others. Some of the job duties: - Capital Projects: Scoping controls system, planning, scheduling, leading, contacting, and managing commissioners and technicians during commissioning and installation. Supporting electrical engineers and providing electrical recommendations for design and layout including schematic red lines. Developing PLC programs, and HMI design (Alarms, and Historizing). Wiring if needed, BOM, quotes, and ordering parts. Documentations. Reporting to management. Training operators, and technicians. * Some of these projects:

# Quality cameras (Cognex and FLIR), programming cameras (Cognex, using Spreadsheet and Easy Builder) to

detect material defects. Project reduced the waste% from 7% to 2% which is saving like $500,000 a year.

# Limestone Silos Unload Blowers, project improved the control system and It is saving modules from failure. For

an incident, a motor and its drive had burned out which costed the plant $30,000 for that incident.

# Laminate/Seal Down Drive Separation, project is saving cleaning down time equivalent to $40,000 a year.

# Shingle Pair Rejection System, overhead conveyor system to auto reject bad material while the line is running.

# Supporting commissioning a Palletizer Robot, allowed double pallets stack.

- Scoping, designing, troubleshooting PLC programs, and HMI (Standalone and System Platform

(Archestra) applications) for control systems (Process and Material Handling): * Some of these projects:

# Auto Color Change, automating that process is saving like $30,000 a year.

# Thermo FLIR Camera controls Cooling Section Sprayers, that is eliminating waste for about $40,000 a year.

# Stacker Conveyors startup automation, that is saving the plant bundle waste for about $15,000 a year.

- Installing, and fixing hardware and wiring issues: like Servo, VFD drives, control units, encoders, laser

sensors, web guide controllers (FIFE guides), ThinClient, thermo, and quality cameras.

- Working with systems: VB.Net, SAP, MES, Minitab, SQL Server, and others.

- Documentations: Reports, Workflow, Training, One Point Lesson, and Troubleshooting Guides.
