Dalton Tube Plant - 174 Callahan Road; Dalton, Ga 30721

Troubleshoot and Repair Electrical and Mechanical problems. Program and Update PLCs, Drive Controllers, etc. Perform PM on equipment as needed. Welded (MIG and Stick) and Operated other shop equipment IE Lathe, Drill Press, Ban Saw, Milling Machine, press. Pressed bearings on and off, Installed and wired equipment that we purchased, etc. Some of the notable accomplishments are listed below:• Installed and Re-Wired a bailer / shredder combo known as a “Hogger Bailer”. Converted this machine from 208 to 460 when installing to lower the amperage it used, and to prevent the need for another large transformer on that end of the facility. • When the PLC controller in the “Hogger Bailer” went out (Machine was about 30 years old and had an old Allen-Brandley SLI-150 “Programmable Controller” in it ), I rewired the machine using 3 relays, and two timers – achieving the same functionality (Operation as well as safety devices) that were previously in place. An outside company quoted us $13,000 base price for this repair, which costed Caraustar roughly $500 including my salary• Rebuilt the control box for a scissor lift whose controls wore completely out and could not be purchased any more. The lift was fully OSHA compliant, and fully operational after this repair.• Rebuilt a Slautterback glue machine that hadn’t worked in 2 years The company was quoted $4,000 for this repair, which I was able to make for just under $1000. I also simplified the utilization of this machine for the operators and other maintenance personnel, reducing the steps required to change over to or from this machine to the larger hotmelt system.• Will be glad to supply details on these and other items performed

Performed maintenance and repairs on automation systems, including but not limited to motor controls, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, hatchers, incubators, and automated counters, shell separators, stackers, and other items. Replaced bearings that were worn out, and performed preventative maintenance to ensure they lasted as long as possible. Kept logs of the Per-acetic Acid injector systems, to ensure the treated wash water was always at the proper level of this chemical (Too much is very unhealthy for people, too little and it is to no avail), as well as allowing us to schedule orders to prevent running out, or having over stock.I was also solely in charge of calibrating the chick counter system, which is a PLC driven / sensor based counter of live birds on a conveyor belt. Considering that our facility shipped out about 2.5 million birds per week… which included hatching them on a schedule to allow this to be done without a feeding stage, allowing all of the birds to be vaccinated, counted, crated and shipped to the growers without losing product (The last calibration had us shipping with a 99.7% accuracy), this was no small feat, and one I am very proud to have accomplished consistently

201 Nance Road; Calhoun, Ga 30701

Maintained a database with images of every piece of material we had for sale… I photographed the products, edited the images, created many brochures, flyers, business cards, and product labels. Nance Carpet currently has a product called Versatile ™ , which in essence is a self-adhesive backed carpet tile, that can be purchased in various colors to create any type of pattern the customer wants. I named this product, designed its packaging, designed all of the product labels, and the pallet display racks for our distributors. I designed many scale models of products that would normally weight thousands of pounds, scaling them down to be carried into a business meeting and easily passed around. I have designed photographs to show what a given product would actually look like in real life, all in virtual space on my computer… allowing our salesman to have brochure images before some of the new products had even been put into their packaging yet.I also performed repair on office computers, telephone systems, and intercom systems (These were all set up over a WAN, and connected all of our plants to our primary facility.) I installed and configured the security cameras at 3 of their facilities… the 4th facility having been done before I started working with them. (I actually contracted out these jobs before being hired to work full time on their payroll)The owners of the company (Bob and Carol Nance) also used me to install, and maintain electronics at their home. This included their video surveillance systems, their electronic gate, an invisible dog fence, and other items
