In this project, I developed and implemented a PLC-based automation system using Schneider Unity Pro for a mining conveyor belt control application. The objective was to optimize material flow and reduce downtime. I programmed logic for start/stop sequences, fault detection, emergency stops, and interlocks, ensuring safe and efficient operation. The system was tested under load conditions and integrated with existing SCADA for real-time monitoring. This project significantly improved reliability and helped streamline operations in a demanding mining environment. 

This project involved designing and deploying a Conveyor Belt Drift Proxy system to monitor and respond to belt misalignment in a high-capacity mining operation. I configured sensors to detect belt drift in real-time and programmed logic into the PLC to trigger alerts and automatic shutdowns when thresholds were exceeded. The system helped prevent damage to the belt structure, reduced unplanned downtime, and improved workplace safety. Integration with the control room interface allowed for remote monitoring and fast intervention, enhancing overall operational efficiency. 

This photos were taken during a critical maintenance operation inside a smelt house where cyanide gas is present as part of the gold refining process. Wearing full protective gear, I carried out essential technical inspections and system checks under strict safety protocols. My role required a deep understanding of hazardous environments, gas detection systems, and emergency response procedures. This experience highlights my ability to work confidently and safely in high-risk areas while ensuring equipment reliability and compliance with industry safety standards.
