Designed controls for Winder/Unwinder/Extruder production lines, including selection and integration of Allen Bradley PLCs, PanelView HMIs, sensors, actuators, AC VFDs (PowerFlex 755 and 525), and Servo Drives (Kinetix 5500 and 5700). Created control panel layouts and wiring schematics using AutoCAD, programmed AB ControlLogix PLCs with RS Logix 5000, and developed HMIs. Provided support during assembly, commissioning, and Factory Approval Testing (FAT). Submitted proposal studies for implementing Gates and Milestones project monitoring methodology and IO-Link vibration sensors for continuous health monitoring of large motors (over 100 hp) in the extruders section.
