- Designed and implemented comprehensive Preventive Maintenance (PM) program using CMMS for 500+ assets, shifting to proactive strategies and reducing unplanned downtime 30–45%, saving $150K–$300K annually in emergency repairs.
- Led creation of digital maintenance library (cloud-based, searchable) centralizing schematics, PLC programs, manuals, and historical data; cut MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) 35–50% and boosted technician efficiency.
- Architected predictive maintenance by integrating IIoT sensors, vibration analysis, and analytics into control systems; decreased failures 40% and extended asset life 2–3 years.
- Developed/delivered electrical troubleshooting training for 20+ technicians (multimeter/oscilloscope use, schematics, PLC/motor fault isolation, NFPA 70E); achieved 25–35% faster resolutions and 20% fewer repeat faults.
- Created/led control systems training (PLC programming, HMI/SCADA, Ladder/Structured Text, VFD/servo); trained 20+ staff annually, reduced vendor calls 80%, and improved self-sufficiency.
- Spearheaded Lean/Six Sigma process improvements, RCA on downtime, and redesign of automation sequences/interlocks; increased OEE 15–25% on key lines.
- Implemented centralized digital asset management with version control for logic/calibration/loop diagrams; ensured ISO/NEC/OSHA compliance and reduced search time from hours to minutes.
- Digitized paper PM schedules/work orders to mobile CMMS; improved completion rates 40% and enabled real-time resource tracking.
- Facilitated advanced diagnostics workshops (Electrical, Control Systems and Network Troubleshooting); enabled in-house handling of 80%+ complex issues, cutting interruptions 20–30%.
- Analyzed maintenance trends to optimize spares and standardize protocols; generated $100K+ annual savings via reduced waste/faster repairs.
- Built proactive SCADA/PLC dashboard with real-time alerts/trends; prevented 15–25 major outages yearly and supported data-driven planning.
- Diagnosed/resolved complex electrical/pneumatic/hydraulic issues; achieved MTTR
- Implemented predictive protocols and IoT/PLC/SCADA integration; reduced failures 30–40% and saved $100K+ annually in repairs.
- Performed RCA on faults, redesigned safety interlocks, ensured OSHA/NFPA 79 compliance.
- Trained technicians/operators on PLC operations/troubleshooting; cut repeat issues 10–20% and enhanced team independence.
