• Program custom features and improvements to the sortation systems from scratch on Allen Bradley and Siemens TIA Portal.
• Work large scale extremely time-sensitive parcel sortation system projects, assign tasks to Junior Controls Engineers in my team, and keep track of utilization hours to ensure profitability and timely project completion.
• Understand electrical schematics, mechanical layouts, and customer requirements to develop Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC programs for high-speed parcel sortation systems and conveyors.
• Led SCADA design on FactoryTalkView SE and ME for a sortation system developed for FedEx Express, which had great scalability, diagnostics, and remote alarm surveillance, enabling FedEx to troubleshoot and maintain the system efficiently with low downtime.
• Work with electrical engineers and software developers to define I/O addressing, wiring, networking, and communication interfaces between field devices, PLCs, and PCs.
• Perform on-site commissioning, integrate sortation system with WCS and external vendor equipment (Caljans, Feeding Conveyors), and conduct SAT/FAT testing.
• Perform standby support to troubleshoot and fix issues in high-stress situations to minimize downtime.
• Worked on developing the Festo gantry robot for implementation on the Beumer Singulators to make the sorter completely autonomous.
