Portfolio

SCADA / Node-Red / MySQL / Python

Package System HMI

Developed a packing system, using Node-Red for the HMI, python and mysql to verify that the car part had gone through all of the quality machines with an OK result.

Allen Bradley PLC / Siemens HMI / Fanuc Robot

RASC System for General Motors

Startup and comissioning of 3 RASC production lanes. Comissioning of PLC code as well as electrical setup, and communication setup, all following the Global Common Control Software Design (GCCS) standard.

SCADA / Siemens PLC / Node-Red

SCADA for Pump Room

Real-time monitoring system for the Pump Room at MKDC. This project consisted in retreiving real-time data from an S7-1200 Siemens PLC such as on / off valves, on / off compressors and tank's water level. This data gathering was using node-red's s7 library, then displayed in an SVG drawing in the Node-Red's UI.
