Authored Enterprise Automation Governance Policy - Governance isn’t something that takes place only after automation launches. A sound governance program will guide automation development at every phase of the automation lifecycle. The need for a governance framework is critical. Think of the potential problems that can occur if only one person knows how a particular automation technology works.Created System Development Lifecycle Process - Discover/ideation – Analysis – Architecture - Proof of Concept – Deployment - Sustain/MaintainCreated:Automation Mission: Team composed of engineers to assist Shaw plants in ideation, design and implementation of automation with the purpose of improved efficiency and operating cost reductionAutomation Vision: To be the flooring market leader in the design and implementation of industrial automation systems. We will confront this challenge by developing innovative solutions that enable people to do what they do best and automate the rest.Automation Strategy: Work with world-class automation systems integrators in the world to co-develop solutions that return the best ROI possible. To use industry standard systems engineering discipline to define and plan using a repetitive verification and validation of plan.Provide 3-D modeling of all systems proposals to reduce risk and provide accurate “What-if” scenarios.Provide clear analysis of proof of concept, prototype and pilot for each critical design challenge.Led design teams in developing automation projects using: AGV, AMR, ASRS, Gantry, HMI, PLC, Integration SCADA SW (IGNITION), Structured txt, Ladder Logic, C#, SOAP, SQL DBASE, JSON, Vehicle Management Systems – Kollmorgan, Fori. Vehicle navigation methods including magnetic, laser, natural.Worked with various technology solutions including Kuka, JR Automation, Fori, AIM, Saurer, IGV, Visual Components Simulation, SimCad, Kollmorgan, Kardex-Remstar, Opex Perfect Pick, Machine vision Cognex, Omron, Intel, Keyence
