Technical details:

• In September 2020, provide support to Actemium Mechatronics Konstanz Germany. Task is to give full support to G&D Munich and G&D Currency Automation Systems Shenzhen (China). Final client is BBK (Deutsche Bundesbank). Scope of work is for their brand new cash center in Dortmund; a conveyor system that transports bundles of banknotes.
• As per our diagnostics during last SAT, improvements needed to be done on the redundancy side for the PLC code (ControlLogix) and on the DeviceNet physical layer (Can-Bus Tester 2 from GEMAC was used), cabling was replaced and terminators added.
• In-house migration to Eplan Electric P8 for all electrical documentation. Create new structure of the Notapack20 system into Eplan. This involved mapping the already build machine in China, start with the electrical diagrams, creating dynamic objects that were not available in Data Portal, creating macros and templates, etc, in such a way that the Chinese team and further Actemium engineers were able to continue on this documentation effort.
• Work was done in Shenzhen, Dortmund and Morelia.

• To lead the engineer team during SAT at Central Bank of Germany. (see China project)

Technical details:

The system NP20 is a secured conveyor system from G&D with an automatic sealing and shrinking unit that transports bundles of banknotes from counting machines (BPS) to a sorting/filling area and furthermore to a storage area. When a disturbance arises, the prototype Vertical Buffer System (VBS) allows the flow of banknotes bundles to be routed to its storage levels so that the production is not interrupted. Later on, it must restore the bundles into the normal production flow.

My activities with G&D client involved:

1- After China, to continue with SAT in Germany and to help G&D with technical aspects of highly demanding requirements from Central Bank of Germany

2- To continue with direct client contact and technical leader activities

3- To design, implement and test HMI for the Vertical Buffer System

4- PLC code test and new requirements implementation as well as bugs fixing

5- Technical documentation

6- To train Service Engineers

• G&D is a German company , this project is for the cash industry.
  

• Responsible for PLC code advice and maintenance
• Build and lead a team of 5 engineers for the entire project.

Later on it must restore the bundles into the normal production flow.

My activities with G&D client involved:

1- Direct contact with the client and to become the technical leader; improve intercultural communication between German, Chinese and our team

2- To write Functional descriptions and PLC code architecture based on FSM (Finite State Machine)

3- PLC code writing, HMI creation and development

4- Technical leader for PLC and HMI tests in China before to send the complete machine to Germany (see next job description)

5- Revision and improvements of the electrical/sensors/drive aspects

6- To prepare the SAT and to help the client with the technical aspects of the highly demanding requirements from the Central Bank of Germany.
