Budapest (6 Months In Barcelona)

Responsible for some of the EU H2020 projects' successful technical implementation. In most of the projects connected to automation I delivered their control system, started from the automation process design until the control hardware selection and PLC programming. My work consisted rapid prototyping, control design, process development, PLC programming, SCADA implementation, field installations, commissioning and documentation.For 6 months I was outsourced to the Barcelona Office to… Show more Responsible for some of the EU H2020 projects' successful technical implementation.

Hungary

Participated in several successful projects and tried to expand our profile towards the field of industrial process engineering. As a reward I was appointed first to be the main organizer of our training series. We were able to purchase our first PLC and HMI, then I was part of the group that started an industrial process control spin-off team to deepen our knowledge in the area.
