About

Engineer pursuing total plant automation

I am an Automation R&D Engineer. My strongest pillars are SCADA systems, PLC programming & commissioning, and industrial AI applied to real production control — not lab-only demos.

I design closed-loop automation: sensors and I/O into PLC logic, supervised by SCADA, improved by AI models for anomaly detection, setpoint assistance, and process optimization — scaling from a cell to the full plant.

Experience in Japanese manufacturing gives me a foundation in JIS standards, high reliability, and continuous improvement — applied to real production constraints.

  • SCADA / HMI design, alarms, trends & plant overview
  • PLC logic, interlocks, motion & line control
  • Industrial AI for process insight & optimization
  • Full factory automation architecture (cell → plant)

Systems

Automation systems at a glance

The stack I focus on daily — SCADA supervision, PLC control, industrial AI loops, and full-plant architecture.

SCADA / HMI

Realtime plant overview, KPI, alarms, and process trends for operators and engineers.

AI + PLC Loop

Sensors → AI model → PLC decisions → actuators — closed-loop control and optimization.

Robot + PLC Cell

Yaskawa handling with safety zones, recipe jobs, and PLC orchestration.

Plant Stack

Field → PLC Control → SCADA → Enterprise — the ladder toward full factory automation.

Projects

Technical work toward full automation

NDA-safe summaries. Each project framed as Problem → Solution → Impact — centered on SCADA, PLC, and AI.

01 · Process Manufacturing

SCADA + AI Process Monitoring Line

  • SCADA
  • PLC
  • Industrial AI
  • Python
  • Historian

Problem

Operators lacked a unified view of line health; alarms were noisy and process drifts were detected too late, causing unplanned stops.

Solution

Deployed a SCADA layer with structured tags and alarm classes, feeding an AI model that flags anomalies early and writes assist setpoints back through the PLC.

Impact

02 · Electronics Manufacturing

PLC-Orchestrated Robot Handling Cell

  • PLC
  • Yaskawa Robotics
  • SCADA
  • Safety Interlock

Problem

SKU changes made fixed automation uneconomical; repetitive handling limited throughput and blocked higher automation levels.

Solution

Commissioned a PLC-led cell with Yaskawa recipes, dual-zone safety, conveyor interlocks, and SCADA job status for operators.

03 · Multi-site Manufacturing

Plant-Level SCADA & PLC Standardization

  • SCADA
  • PLC Standards
  • AI Roadmap
  • MES Integration

Problem

Sites automated in silos; no shared SCADA tag model or PLC standard to scale AI and multi-line control across the plant network.

Solution

Defined a phased full-automation roadmap: standard PLC templates → SCADA object library → AI data hooks → multi-site rollout.

Beyond work

Open mind, creative hands

Outside the factory, I stay curious — sketching, road-tripping, and exploring nature. These habits keep me open-minded and feed proactive creativity back into engineering: noticing structure, detail, and better ways to solve problems.

How hobbies shape my work

  • Openness — new places and cultures sharpen cross-border collaboration
  • Creative initiative — drawing trains observation and original problem framing
  • Proactive energy — outdoor trips rebuild focus for deep technical work
