Key Contributions:

• Production System Design

  • Developed automation workflows, line capacity, and robotic integrations to optimize efficiency.

  • Defined control hierarchies and system logic for seamless operation across multiple manufacturing cells.

  • Ensured compliance with Australian Safety Standards, Industry 4.0 principles

• Discrete Event Simulation (DES) Models

  • Created a digital twin of the production line to optimize station capacities and resolve process locks.

  • Eliminated bottlenecks without requiring additional capital investment.

  • Simulated different production scenarios to refine workflows and improve efficiency.

• Robotic Process Design & Validation

  • Used KUKA Sim to validate robot reach, cycle times, and integration with surrounding processes.

  • Ensured optimized automation workflows for reliability and performance.

• Project Governance & Engineering Documentation

  • Managed project governance from Concept Design Reviews (CDR) to onsite commissioning.

  • Conducted Process Sign-Offs (PSOs) with Production, Design, Maintenance, and Quality teams.

  • Developed and maintained Risk Registers, PFMEA, and SOPs to ensure compliance and process reliability.

A key focus of my work was the Demoulding cell, where I supported manufacturing engineering efforts from initial design to full-scale production. This involved designing the cell layout, robotic processes, validating robot reach and offline programming in KUKA Sim, and developing the process and control hierarchy.

I also played a crucial role in integrating tool cleaning robots, configuring the cell output control system, and designing manual operator stations, ensuring compliance with Australian Safety Standards. During commissioning, I worked closely with external integrators, led FAT activities, and took charge of issue resolution onsite.
