Manufacturing companies of all sizes are challenged with maintaining product quality and throughput while keeping tight budgets. With an aging infrastructure of both machines and workforce, problems arise with training new engineers and finding experienced engineers and technicians to understand both old and new technologies while formulating plans to modernize. It’s a race and balance to keep up with the bleeding edge, train the workforce to handle these transitions, and optimize budget by understanding return on investment.As a technical sales expert with background in electrical, computer hardware/software, and networking skills, I help clients better understand how modern solutions can work with or replace older technologies. Many times, rip and replace strategies are far too costly with overall equipment expense and downtime. I help customers understand phased migrations strategies to ease into a modern architecture. Interconnecting machines is vital in today's data driven business systems. What used to be islands of automation are now being connected via Ethernet using advanced networking features. Applying and understanding best practices in network segregation, routing, user management, and access control are all vitally important topics to maintain smooth running automation systems while getting data to ERP systems for analysis. It's an ever-evolving task list to identify areas of improvement. I work with a large network of fellow specialists, Rockwell experts, and system integrators to bring customers solutions that uniquely solve problems.

Listed skills include Electrical Engineering, C++, Scada, Automation, and 23 others.
