I have spent three years working for (Aroyan & Khatchadourian Co.) which is authorized company to be SIEMENS distributer in Syria.
My Primary Task was:
• Implementing & installing Industrial Automation Solutions.
(Please see next paragraph: “Performed Projects” for more details.)
Other Secondary Tasks:
• Studying the bids for both public & private sectors and providing the proper technical offers.
• Providing technical support for the company customers.
Projects During (2009-2012) / A&K Co. :
\[1\] “Thawra” Wheat Mill Automation (Government Establishment):
This Project is automated using Siemens PLC (S7-300 / CPU315-2DP) and Siemens PC SCADA using WinCC Flexible software.
\[2\] Pump Stations Control via Wireless GSM (Lafarge Cement Factory)
The Project was about connecting (5) remote pump stations to one master coordinating panel using wireless GSM mobile network. The used technology based on WinCC Flexible along with SINAUT Micro SC.
\[3\] “Hnaideh” Grain Silos Automation (Government Establishment):
• I have used SIEMENS PLC CPU: 317-2DP, and the SCADA Interface was designed by “WinCC V7.0 SCADA System” software.
• Due to the complex demands of the process, I also created custom designed visual components (using VB.NET language, which produce “.dll” control component that can be imported to WinCC project). this components allow more advanced user interfaces.
• Also, I have designed the graphics of process devices using “Adobe Illustrator” and I merged it with .NET components to provide rich user experience by animating the movement or even vibrating the working devices to produce clear, dynamic, and amazing interface.
Note:
The project is on-hold due to the unstable situation of the country, but its PLC program & SCADA I/F were tested by simulation.
• Implementing Industrial Automation Projects for industrial machines.
• Teaching PLC/HMI courses (Coordinated with LG \[LSIS\] Agency in Syria).
• Also, During this interval, I was preparing my Master degree research.
