KEY PROJECTS
- Engineering automation platform
- Developed a full rule-based automation system to transform customer input into production-ready data.
- System automatically validates configurations and outputs:
- BOM - manufacturing data - production instructions
Result:
- Faster order processing, fewer errors, scalable automation framework
- Digital Engineering Workflow System
- Built an end-to-end digital workflow connecting sales input to production output without manual engineering intervention.
- Excel Macro-Based Engineering Data Automation System
Developed a complex Excel VBA macro system to automate engineering and production data processing.
• The system automatically:
Imports data from XML files, cleans and validates data, generates structured BOM and production tables, and distributes data into multiple sheets based on logic rules
Implemented dynamic column generation, rule-based classification, and automatic data checking and formatting
Result:
• Eliminated manual Excel work
• Reduced human errors
• Improved data processing speed and reliability
• Enabled non-engineers to use the system safely
