About me

I am a hands-on automation and robotics professional with 10+ years of international experience in industrial robot programming, commissioning, troubleshooting and systems integration. Cross-disciplinary engineer bridging robotics, PLC/HMI, vision, production support and real industrial systems.

I am a Senior Industrial Robot Programmer / Roboterprogrammierer with over 10 years of international hands-on experience in robot programming, commissioning / Inbetriebnahme, OLP verification, cycle-time optimization, production support, troubleshooting and integration.

My strongest fit is in projects that need a solid industrial robot programmer who can also understand the surrounding automation system: PLC/SPS, HMI, fieldbus communication, vision systems, safety, electrical troubleshooting, mechanical behavior, hydraulics, pneumatics and production constraints.

I have worked with KUKA, ABB and FANUC industrial robots across automotive, metallurgy / heavy industry and industrial automation projects. My experience includes KUKA KR C2 / KR C4 / KR C5, ABB IRC5, FANUC R-30iA / R-30iB, robot teaching, online programming, OLP integration, program standardization, commissioning, process optimization and production assistance.
I also use KUKA WorkVisual, KUKA OfficeLite, KUKA SimPro, KUKA Custom Kinematics, ABB RobotStudio and FANUC Roboguide.

On the automation side, I worked with Siemens TIA Portal, Siemens S7-1500 / S7-1500TF, WinCC Unified, PROFINET, PROFIsafe and Industrial Ethernet / TCP-IP, including PLC/HMI interface logic, I/O diagnostics, safety devices and communication between robots, PLCs and HMIs.

Vision and sensor experience: Photoneo 3D vision, Cognex In-Sight, Coherix 3D laser inspection and SICK safety scanners. I can support vision-guided robotic applications, calibration work and troubleshooting between robot, PLC/SPS, camera and process logic.

Process experience: pick and place, sealing, spot welding, MIG/MAG welding, hybrid laser welding, roller hemming, geo-grippers, docking systems, searches, stud welding, plasma cutting, palletizing, deburring, TOX press, RivSet / RivTac and custom tooling. I have worked in production environments where reliability, cycle time and root-cause analysis matter.

I can read EPLAN documentation for electrical troubleshooting, trace I/O faults, support hydraulic and pneumatic troubleshooting, and work across disciplines when a problem does not belong neatly to one department. One of my main strengths is bridging robotics, PLC/SPS, HMI, vision, commissioning and the real production floor.

I am familiar with robot programming standards and OEM environments such as VASS, Ford, Ford Otosan IFWC, Tesla, Daimler-Powertrain, Jaguar Land Rover, Dacia, DAF, ABB and FFT-related standards. I can adapt to customer standards, clean up structure and support naming conventions.

I am useful when a project needs someone who can enter an industrial cell, understand how the robot, PLC, HMI, safety system, tooling, sensors and process interact, then help make the system reliable. I can support commissioning, urgent production issues, OLP validation, optimization, diagnostics, standardization, operator support, functional descriptions, fallback support and technical coordination.
