PLC and control logic
Structured sequence logic, states, transitions, alarms, troubleshooting, and readable program organization.
- State machines and step sequences
- Logic review and cleanup
- Process regulation context
Industrial automation
Automation support for machines, operators, data, and control logic.
This is the physical automation side of DeskDude. I help with PLC logic, HMI/operator flow, system design, integration support, robotics context, and the handoff between production equipment and software.
Service stack
physical systemsHMI and operator workflow
Interfaces that make the current state, next action, fault condition, and manual intervention easier to understand.
- Screen structure and labels
- Operator states and messages
- Alarm and recovery flow
System design and integration
Turning process requirements into signals, sensors, machine states, operator actions, and handoff points.
- Integrator support
- Robot cell and production flow context
- Buffer, sorting, and sequence planning
Production data and software handoff
Practical data points between the machine layer and dashboards, databases, reporting, or internal tools.
- Sensor values and status data
- SQL/database handoff
- OPC UA and integration context
Industrial + software bridge
where it gets usefulMost automation problems are not only PLC problems.
A lot of value sits between the control cabinet, the operator screen, the database, the spreadsheet, and the person who needs to understand what happened. That is where my software and automation background overlaps well.

How a job starts
send rough contextThe physical flow, states, manual actions, and where the system gets stuck.
Sensors, actuators, IO, alarms, recipes, counters, and important machine states.
Screenshots, existing logic, labels, faults, or the part that is hard to reason about.
What costs time, creates errors, blocks operators, or makes the system fragile.
Who owns approval, site changes, safety review, commissioning, and final sign-off.
Fit and boundaries
practical firstDefined technical problems
PLC changes, workflow mapping, logic review, HMI clarity, data routing, or integration support with clear context.
Extra technical capacity
Useful as hands-on support for founders, small teams, workshops, integrators, or companies that need a systems-minded builder.
No loose safety claims
Safety-critical work needs the right owner, review, standards, and site responsibility. I keep that explicit from the first conversation.
