First Steps…………

   I began my career at Siemens    Automation and Drives    (Congleton) in 1993 in the packing    department.

   From there I progressed    throughout the manufacturing    process gaining experience in    component preparation, pcb    build, unit construction, test and    then diagnosing and line repairs.

   This ‘sparked’ my interest in    electronics and working closely    with the Technicians, I received    specific knowledge and guidance    in the area of electronic motion    control.

  Automation

   From Siemens, I expanded my    knowledge into industry by    gaining a qualification in    electronics and electrical    engineering and focusing on    repairs and site support with    various industrial electronics    repair companies.

   Spanning a period in excess of 10    years repairing, diagnosing and    supporting a variety of    automation peripherals from    inverters, to PLC’s to complete    systems.

   At this point, I was very    conversant with system    processing, repairs and    commissioning tasks and looked    at a more specialised area    connected with motion control.

  Industrial Robotics

   In 2008, I finally found my    ‘niche’ at Kawasaki Robotics    UK Ltd as the dedicated    product trainer including    service engineering and    technical support.

   Drawing on my previous    experiences, I developed into a    product specialist and found a    new direction in training and    presenting equipment    capabilities including    programming, technical    support and service engineering    works.

   I would like to pass on my    sincerest thanks to all at    Kawasaki Robotics UK Ltd and    continuing success for the    future.

  New Venture…..

   During my time at Kawasaki    Robotics UK Ltd, I noticed    there was a distinctive gap    between OEM training and    system integrator training    which was nearly impossible    to bridge.

   I found drawing on my    previous experiences as well    as my personal interests, I    could easily bridge this gap    and be in position to provide    product based training    around integrated cell    system environments    accompanied by my product    knowledge.

   This is where I start my next    chapter…………………
