Through passion, vision, and exceptional motivation to deliver the highest integrated automation equipment for Kay Manufacturing. I've been the lead on all of Kay's automation developments and continuous improvements in regard to automation. I've reviewed procedures, processes, and equipment layouts for Kay. Making the necessary adjustments have improved Kay's profitability performance. I've also mentored several interns at Kay. I have mentored elementary students in the FIRST Program, high school students in Vex Robotics, and am a board member for for St. Joseph Public School Robotics program. I've also played the important role of being a company liaison for Kay Manufacturing, presenting and communicating with different areas of the business. Such as: social media outlets, local news,educational events (Career Day, job fairs and Manufacturing Day),partnership relations like Universal Robotics partnership presentation in San Diego, Keyence Corporation Partnership, and Industry group conferences.I've utilized the following skills working for Kay Manufacturing. 1) PLC Programming: Allen Bradley 2) HMI Development: Factory Talk, Microsoft Frontpage, Keyence Vision, Fanuc HTML Operator Panel.3) Keyence Products: XG-X Vision System, CV-X Vision System, IV Sensor Technology, IM CMM Series, XM Handheld CMM Series.4) Fanuc Robotics Programming.5) Universal Robotics Programming.6) Foerester Eddy Current.7) Automated Autogauging machines.8) SolidWorks Mechanical and Electrical Suite.9) Weiss ST Servo Motors10) B&R CPU, Servo Drives and IO link modules.
