Experience as an engineer

Software development in control engineering

As an engineer I was primarily involved in software development in control engineering in the process industries and in computer manufacturing Computer operating system programming for process control applications On-site start-up of a computer controlled ice cream factory in Italy - Gelati Motta, Ferentino Programming of computer control system for a large dairy - Toni Molkerei, Zürich, Switzerland Start-up of the Toni Molkerei dairy control system software in Switzerland Programming of computer control system for a large brewery - Northern Clubs Federated Brewery in Newcastle, UK

Engineering liaison in Switzerland, United Kingdom and France Technical course lecturer General software development activities System programmer for process data processing

Conceptual and analytical work in the development of software for the control of a variety of machines, instruments and plants

Writing control software for production machines and plants

Development of a control system for suspension conveyors for materials handling in a spray shop. The software was implemented on a control computer based on the Z-80 microprocessor using Pascal and a multitasking operating system. Read more >>

The integration of a spray robot system and its peripheral equipment into the overall control system for the spraying plant. Design of software modules for operating a robot interface and for controlling the feeding arrangement in the spraying plant. The modules were written in Z-80 assembler run on a graph interpreter.
