Digital Transformation Process Engineer
-
Aug 2019 - Present
As a Process Engineer, I play a pivotal role in driving digital transformation within our organization by collaborating seamlessly between the Assembly and IT departments. My responsibilities include: Machine Maintenance and Documentation: I'm responsible for maintaining critical machinery while also preparing comprehensive Engineering Reports, Qualification protocols/reports, and Work Instructions. This meticulous approach is instrumental in guiding projects through the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase. Error Reduction and Efficiency: I've designed and managed production line data generation and analysis systems that control production flows and minimize operator error. Through these systems, I've significantly reduced human errors in the production line, reducing the time spent addressing such errors – up to two days per week. Data Analytics and Visualization: I've constructed data pipelines to extract, transform, and visualize data using tools like MicroStrategy, Apache Superset, Apache Airflow, and Microsoft Excel. These efforts have slashed the time needed to compile data and generate weekly reports by up to three days per week. Additionally, I've maintained a robust datalake for streamlined data processing, enhancing operational efficiency. IoT Integration: My role extends to planning and configuring IoT connectivity for production machinery. This integration has added automation, data collection capabilities, seamless integration with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), and improved line flow control. I'm also deeply involved in the modelling and implementation of MES workflows within production lines. Customer Collaboration: I've led and coordinated a successful data-sharing initiative with a customer, enabling the exchange of vital production data, component lot data, and component measurement data through diverse pipelines. This collaborative effort has fostered strong client relationships and enriched our data-driven decision-making processes. Show less

Jun 2018 - Jul 2018
In my role as an IT Intern, I made contributions to streamline testing processes and enhancing efficiency through the following key accomplishments: Raspberry Pi-Based Tester Device: I designed and implemented a Raspberry Pi-based tester device for in-house IoT devices. This device eliminated the need for on-site testing during deployment, resulting in an average time savings of approximately 20 minutes per device. When applied to a room with 30 machines, this translated to an aggregate time savings of around 600 minutes. GUI-Based Test Automation Program: I developed a user-friendly GUI-based program for the IoT device tester to automate testing and verification processes. This program reduced the complexity of user interactions, requiring fewer than two taps per one-minute test. This simplification improved efficiency and reduced the potential for user errors in the testing process. Show less

Jun 2017 - Aug 2017
During my internship as a Mechanical Engineering Intern, I conducted feasibility analysis by: Researching Elevator Motor and Drive Efficiency: I investigated power losses in elevator motors and drives, focusing on identifying areas for potential improvement. FEA Thermal Analysis: I performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) thermal analysis using ANSYS Structural. This analysis was conducted on a CAD model I designed using Creo Parametric. Project Feasibility Determination: Based on my research and FEA analysis, I determined that the integration of a motor and its drive was physically feasible. However, due to time constraints and limited information, I was unable to conduct a thorough analysis of potential manufacturing savings. Show less

Jun 2016 - Jul 2016
During my internship as an Engineering Intern, I contributed to process improvement and data analysis by: Data Analysis for Production Line Management: I conducted data analysis to predict the effects of changes in production line management, aiding decision-making and process optimization. Electronic Production Line Tracking: I introduced electronic methods to track production line progress and enhance communication. This implementation allowed upper management to easily monitor the production schedule, replacing an outdated, floor-specific, and analog tracking system. Efficiency Investigation: I investigated the efficiency of a dedicated quick changeover team on a specific production line. My analysis aimed to assess the potential for allocating a greater workload to this team. Show less
