Summary

My focus is on the development and implementation of tailored IT solutions in application development for automation technology. I specialize in two main areas:

Visualization using HMI and SCADA solutions
Development of custom software

At the center of my work is the analysis of processes and workflows, especially with regard to horizontal data flows between plant components and vertical integration with higher-level systems. I rely on effective communication and data exchange between automation devices and controllers as well as higher-level systems such as recipe management, measurement and operating data acquisition, and ERP systems (e.g. SAP). I develop solutions both on the basis of custom software and established SCADA and MES systems, with a special focus on SIMATIC solutions for Industry 4.0.

An essential part of my work is development with OPC UA as a standardized transport layer to ensure seamless interoperability.

In addition, I have experience in designing and developing software components in .NET and support the porting of VB6 and Excel-based applications to the .NET world. For specific customer requirements, I develop complete software packages in C# and VB.NET, while in the database area I implement solutions with Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. For hardware-related communication requirements, I use C under Windows as the development environment.

Responsibilities I have taken on in projects:

Software architecture and development
Interface definition and coordination
Project planning, testing, and on-site acceptance tests (also at international locations)
Subproject management

Industry experience:

Pharmaceutical industry: Reengineering and porting of Excel-based parameterization software to database-based .NET applications to improve efficiency and scalability.
Rail vehicle control systems: Development of visualization software for Driver Display Units (DDU) in Train Control Management Systems (TCMS) with C#/ VB.NET/ VB6/ ANSI-C, as well as reengineering and porting of Excel-based parameterization software solutions to database-backed .NET applications; implementation of generic communication layers for signal exchange between DDU and PLCs.
Automotive supplier: Manufacturing and delivery of complete wheels just in time and just in sequence directly to the assembly line.
Tire production: Automated transport systems at an internationally active tire manufacturer.
Food industry: Solutions for liquid processing in dairies and fruit juice processing companies.
