ABOUT SUGANYA RADHAKRISHNAN ELUMALAI

I am a Controls and Automation Engineer with a master\'s in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Houston. With over two years of experience, I specialize in PLC, HMI, SCADA, and DCS systems.As a Controls and Automation Engineer at Hargrove Engineers & Constructors, I contributed to network support at the Delek Tyler Refinery. My efforts reduced downtime by 15% and increased plant reliability. I have expertise in programming and integrating PLCs from Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley), Siemens, ABB, and Yokogawa DCS, which enhanced data accuracy by 10%. Additionally, I improved efficiency by 50% at the Livent Bessemer City project through detailed technical documentation updates.Previously, at the MSME Technology Development Centre, I designed and programmed a PLC-based automated car parking system, saving annually. I also created an obstacle-avoiding robot, reducing system errors by 30%.At Lema Labs, I developed a line-following robot, increasing path accuracy by 35%. I also created PLC programs for motor control and conveyors, leading to a 7% rise in throughput and a 20% reduction in maintenance time.My project portfolio includes achievements like a resistor sorting system using an OWI robot arm, an integrated motor generator module drive for an E-Cycle, and an Arduino-based water level indicator.I\'m deeply committed to driving innovation in Controls and Automation and thrive in collaborative team environments.Outside of work, I explore cutting-edge technologies to continuously improve my skills in industrial automation and robotics.I enjoy meeting new people.
