6) Southeast Automation (Location: NA/Phone: 803-***-****)

I was the owner of this company from 6.97 to 10.07. I concentrated mainly on Municipal Water/Waste Water Treatment projects. I did everything from sales to panel design and building to PLC and HMI programming to system troubleshooting. I designed I&C systems in AUTOCAD (i.e. panel layout and wiring, interconnect and loop drawings, single line diagrams...). I also installed and calibrated field equipment, managed and supervised subcontractors, provided system commissioning and start-up assistance and, personnel training. Secondary to my main business I sold and installed residential, commercial and industrial camera surveillance and card access control systems.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE:

1) Southeast Automation (Location: NA/Phone: 803-***-****)

I provided I&C engineering services for Georgia’s Cobb County Water Authority including system troubleshooting, equipment installation and calibration and, PLC and HMI software upgrades.

2) Southeast Automation (Location: NA/Phone: 803-***-****)

I designed, built and programmed the I&C portion of a septage receiving station for The Augusta Waste Water Treatment Plant. Included where three card readers, one control panel and, one computer workstation with HMI graphics software. The workstation provided a real-time graphical representation of the system, functioned as a means to help monitor and control the system and, for provided logging and billing services. The system was designed with one card reader at the front gate to admit plant employees, one card reader at the side gate to admit non-employees and one card reader at the septage receiving station. Once the card swiped at the septage receiving station was verified as being one of the companies on file access would be granted to operate the control panel. Push buttons and pilot lights on the panel provided a means of visual confirmation and control. The system logged the number of gallons dumped along with any ph alarms and also, calculated amounts due per total gallons dumped per month. The system used a GE Versamax Micro PLC, GE Cimplicity Machine Edition View HMI software and, Excel with XLreporter for the logging and billing.

3) Production Systems, Inc. (Location: Marietta, GA/Phone: 770-***-****)

I design and programming 13 control panels to monitor and control spiral up/down conveyor lines and a three to one merge line on a battery packaging plant. I supervised the electrical contractors in the installation of the system and, participated in the on-site start-up of the system. The system used GE 90-30 PLC’s, Allen Bradley variable speed drives and Banner photo eye’s.

4) Control Instruments, Inc. (Location: Smyrna, GA/Phone: 404-***-****)

I designed 9 control panels, programmed the HMI software and PLC's, terminated fiber optic cable between 4 computer workstations and 9 PLC’s and, provided system start-up assistance and personnel training. The system was designed to monitor and control plant back-up power, the influent, the effluent, the RAS, the WAS and the oxygenation train stations. The system monitored the backup power generators for on/off status and fuel tank levels. The influent and effluent station wet well levels were monitored. Pumps were controlled in a lead/lag order with the number of pumps ON and their speeds varied to maintain the specified safe wet well levels. The RAS and WAS pumps were turned ON/OFF in a lead/lag order with the number of pumps ON and their speeds varied to maintain a specified flow rate. The oxygenation train stations were monitored for mixer motor ON/OFF and oxygen level status. The HMI software was Intellution and the PLC's where Square-D model 400's.
