Solidworks and PDM administration.An expert in low to high elevation texture wide format UV inkjet printing. The North American expert in the implementation and operation of Canon Print Solutions Project Eiger textured printing process, a unique and very expressive CMYK 2.5D print capability. One of 4 exclusive installtions worldwide.Developed and implemented a new parametric configuration of low cost and highly effective cardboard packaging for the shipment of an endless size variety of framed and unframed prints. The packaging can be sized to each print and cnc cut on-demand, on-site, as needed for each order. Damage claims have dropped to zero since spring 2022 implementation.Selected the facility, planned and managed renovations in early 2022 for the move of the Arius head office and production facility to Richmond, BC.

Vancouver Bc

Product, component and process owner and designer for the Géomatique thermoformed textured print product line. Transferred the production process and system from our former US partner to our facility in Vancouver.Developed a new method of mould production using 2.5D printing and modular assembly with integral registration to revamp existing processes for much higher image placement accuracy and quick changeover. A multi-week epoxy casting-based mold production process was reduced to 2 day printed process.Reconfigured machinery and process of the production line setup to reduce a 1 hour change over per image to less than 5 minutes, with pre-defined and repeatable image registration.Selected and planned implementation of ERP (Odoo) to replace MS office processes. Implementation paused. Project is waiting for business case and sales demand to justify project restart.Management of facility and health and safety.
