HMI
Overview
While at Myriad Genetics, I led an HMI rollout that brought comprehensive PLC visibility to over 30 instruments and workcells across 3 labs. Working closely with our support team, I designed custom Beckhoff TwinCAT interfaces focused on intuitive navigation and real-time usability. To make future deployments effortless, I developed a semi-automated template workflow. From selecting and wiring the server to crafting the UI, I built an end-to-end solution that made troubleshooting faster, increased instrument health visibility, and made daily operations smoother for lab staff and engineers
