• Connect equipment and control systems to Ignition using OPC, Kepware, tags, and related industrial technologies.
• Configure and troubleshoot real-time and historical data collection.
• Integrate applications with industrial and enterprise systems including SQL databases, SAP, Sharepoint, Active Directory, OPC and historian data sources (Kepware, Canary, etc.), REST APIs.
• Design efficient data models and queries optimized for real-time operational use.
• Work directly in the manufacturing environment with trades, engineers, IT, supervisors, and managers to understand equipment, processes, and operational needs.
• Determine what machine and process data is required, how it can be acquired, and how it should be presented to support end users.
• Translate diverse user needs into intuitive applications and visualizations, adapting effectively to different technical backgrounds and communication styles.
• Build trusted client relationships and represent the engineering team and company professionally.
• Implement robust error handling, logging, and diagnostics.
• Ensure solutions meet performance, security, reliability, and compliance requirements.
