SCADA/HMI Development & Configuration
Extensive expertise in SCADA/HMI development and configuration, including design and development of Ignition Perspective HMI pages for food production plants, operator screens, recipe/order management views and operational dashboards. Proficient with Ignition (Perspective, Vision, Gateway scripting), Movicon NExT and Wonderware InTouch.
Ignition Perspective Application Development
Hands-on development of Ignition Perspective applications, including server-side and client-side scripting in Jython 2.7, reusable project script modules, Perspective event handling and Custom Message Handlers for controlled page auto-refresh. Integration of PLC tags and SQL Server data layers with alarm configuration and operational monitoring workflows.
Legacy Migration (VB6 to Ignition)
Migration of legacy Visual Basic 6 supervision applications to Ignition, reproducing original process logic such as batch and mixing management on a modern, maintainable architecture. Strictly following established naming standards, script conventions and delivery practices within existing senior development team codebases.
Jython / Python Scripting
Scripting in Jython 2.7 and Python for industrial automation contexts, including reusable project script modules and automation of operational workflows.
PLC Tag Management & Variable Mapping
Integration and management of PLC tags, variable mapping and SQL Server data layers for production-critical systems.
OT Systems Integration & Troubleshooting
Integration and troubleshooting of OT systems, including industrial communication workflows, device-based tools and system configuration consistency validation.
Alarm Management & Monitoring Systems
Configuration of alarm management logic and operational monitoring workflows across multiple industrial environments including pharmaceutical and food production plants.
SQL Server / SSMS & Database-Driven Recipes
Management of variable configuration and troubleshooting through SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), including database-driven recipe and order management systems.
Industrial Networking (TCP/IP, Subnetting, VLAN basics)
Knowledge of industrial networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, subnetting and VLAN basics, applied in IT/OT integration and remote access scenarios using WireGuard.
Multi-Protocol Connectivity
Implementation of multi-protocol connectivity including Modbus TCP, OPC UA, MQTT and BACnet, applied in the independent development of the NexaPlant Studio SCADA/HMI platform.
IT/OT Integration & Remote Access
Design and implementation of IT/OT integration solutions and zero-trust remote access architectures based on WireGuard and Headscale.
Requirements Analysis & Workflow Modelling
Direct client-facing requirement gathering, functional analysis, testing and troubleshooting of production-critical systems, including workflow modelling for industrial automation projects.
