Project history
A reusable Siemens S7-1500 automation standard and a custom C#/WPF engineering tool that generates complete TIA Portal projects including LAD/SCL logic, a four-class fault & alarm architecture and WinCC Unified operator screens directly through the TIA Openness API. Includes a self-learning timeout monitor and operator-resettable latched interlock/safety faults, plus a virtual sequence simulator. Technologies: C#, .NET/WPF, TIA Portal Openness (V20), SCL, LAD, WinCC Unified, PLCSIM Advanced, Python, Git.
A real-time 3D digital twin of an automated station built in Unity, linked live to the PLC for synchronized motion, status and an interactive HMI overlay supporting virtual commissioning and operator training. Technologies: Unity 6 (HDRP), C#, S7NetPlus, real-time PLC data binding.
Developed, commissioned and optimized an Automated Storage and Retrieval System, integrating it into the production line. Implemented the IIoT data layer on the S7-1500 using Siemens Open User Communication, streaming real-time material-flow telemetry over MQTT to SAP EWM for live inventory and storage/retrieval synchronization. Technologies: TIA Portal, Profinet, SEW Drives, IIoT (OUC, MQTT), SAP EWM.
