SERVICES
Industrial automation projects rarely become difficult because of the technology itself. The real problems start at the interfaces between requirements, engineering, suppliers and commissioning.
I work with industrial manufacturers, engineering companies and system integrators that need experienced, independent automation expertise to bridge those gaps.
Project-side engineering
- Requirements clarification
- Functional specifications
- Architecture definition
- Supplier consultation & follow-up
- FAT / SAT preparation
Automation & control systems
- PLC / SCADA / HMI engineering
- Motion & process control
- Industrial networks
- MES / system interfaces
- Commissioning
Assessment & modernization
- Control system audits
- Obsolescence & maintainability
- Architecture & reliability issues
- Brownfield migration strategy
- Upgrade priorities
ENGINEERING
APPROACH
I have seen hundreds of automated systems. They all had one thing in common: they worked. At least on the day they were commissioned.
But working is the bare minimum. A control system should remain understandable, maintainable and reliable as it evolves — through modifications, equipment upgrades, new interfaces and years of operation.
Structure for change
- Clear hardware architecture
- Modular software structure
- Defined functional interfaces
Design for operations
- Maintainable PLC / SCADA systems
- Clear alarm and HMI strategies
- Efficient fault diagnosis
Validate before site
- Simulation where relevant
- Explicit FAT / SAT procedures
- Controlled commissioning strategy
SELECTED
PROJECTS
Tired of every new supplier bringing its own standards, methods and way of working?
I adapt to what is already in place, or define it when starting from scratch. In practice, with companies including: Saint-Gobain, Bouygues, Schneider Electric, Dassault Aviation, Air Liquide, Novelis, Idex, Serap, PS Intelligence and JDE.
INDUSTRIES
Every process has its own rules.
Understanding them starts with questions, not certainties. Experience across many industries leads to the right ones.
TECHNOLOGIES
Technology choices shouldn’t start with what a supplier already knows.
They must start with what the project needs, which requires expertise across different platforms.
