Professional Experience

Project (Client): TATA Electronics Private Limited (TEPL)
Role: Senior Support Engineer | MES Junior Business Analyst

• Supported Industry 4.0 implementation and stabilized production lines during MES go-live by providing real-time shop-floor support to operators and engineers.
• Gathered and analyzed business requirements; prepared TFS/FDS, workflows, and impact analysis, and coordinated with developers for accurate implementation.
• Validated manufacturing data (scan transactions, Stores In/Out, scrap/pass) and ensured synchronization between MES and SAP systems.
• Designed and implemented OEE monitoring (downtime, availability, performance) using PLC tags thorough kepware and manual stations; executed pilot line and expanded across production areas.
• Conducted functional, API, regression, and UAT testing; created test cases and managed build lifecycle (QA → UAT → Production).
• Managed production deployments, downtime planning, post-deployment validation, and root-cause analysis for production issues.
• Prepared SDS/SOPs, API documentation, and user manuals; trained end users and supported change requests and enhancements.
• Implemented traceability and DOE modules to improve production visibility and operational efficiency.

Project (Client): Brakes India
Role: MES Business Analyst (Implementation Team) | IIoT Functional Consultant

• Participated in the implementation and enhancement of next-generation MES platform (MES 4.0 upgraded to MES X.0) across manufacturing operations.
• Supported complete manufacturing lifecycle coverage from Gate Entry to Customer Dispatch (GE–CD) ensuring full production traceability.
• Configured and deployed a centralized MES product integrating IIoT capabilities (previously using Ignition IIoT) into a single unified system.
• Integrated CNC machining processes, including machine program transfer, machine start/stop control, and monitoring of Fanuc robotics using PLC/IIoT tags.
• Coordinated with external vendors to integrate OT network devices and shop-floor automation systems into the MES platform.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams including SAP, PLM, Fanuc robotics, ASRS, and AMR for end-to-end workflow and material traceability.
• Prepared FDS, SDS, UAT documents, and functional logic flows for new customer requirements and feature implementations.
• Designed serial number tracking configuration and developed logic for PRN (new generation and modification) processing through MES.
• Implemented Digital Twin and Control Tower dashboards for real-time monitoring and control of shop-floor operations.
• Developed and validated MQTT communication logic for real-time machine data acquisition.
• Supported MES modules including MM and WMS for inventory and warehouse operations.
• Implemented manufacturing quality and process control features such as Poka-Yoke, Start-up Check, 4M Change, Changeover Management, and Recipe Download.
• Designed functional documentation and workflow logic for an automated CAPA module using OT network data to monitor shop-floor performance.
• Contributed to transforming the legacy MES system into an advanced Industry 4.0-enabled manufacturing platform.
