Academic Projects

• 6-Sigma project for Linde Gas: Saved roughly 6 million dollars of hidden cash by identifying various causes of delays in order and payment transactions for the Linde Gas Company.

• Planning and Control Simulation Project: Understood essential decision making skills in supply chain management by taking various decisions on buying different commodities with adequate quantities minimizing inventory and manufacturing costs in a ITEC simulation game.

• 2-Axes Robotic Manipulator for Automatic Job Profile Detection and Automatic Thermal Spraying: Automatically digitize the shape of the mechanical part, store it into external memory and retrieve the trajectory maintaining constant distant with 89c51 micro-controller, Serial EEPROM, DC Servo motor with Encoder feedback, a Stepper motor and a Touch-Trigger Probe.
