Current functions are to create, design, and document the controls for most systems in the plant. Manage and supervise their installation. Evaluate and Monitor the efficiency, quality, and safety of such systems after their completion.

I have introduced and implemented the use of Vision Systems for the selection and rejection of bad product, the use of Servo Systems to control various specifications like speed, tension, and positioning, operator Interfaces for ease of operation, flexibility of changes, and installation labor reduction. I designed and implemented a PLC network (of various types) for the pumping of adhesive between blending rooms(8) and coatings rooms(4) within the plant.

All work performed was under cGMP Guidelines, 21CFR Part 11 compliant, and validated under GAMP guidelines in order to meet FDA requirements.

Created SOP’s, and performed validations on all machines in plant including the SOP for Validation of Control Systems and Automated Processes.

I have supervised the work of technicians and mechanics working on each machine project, and currently in charge of upgrading the Packaging Line for a new product(completed).

I recently obtained my EIT license and will obtain my PE license in October 2010.
