These are my professional accounts of the work. The detailed pages retain the measurement limits, demonstration labels and company attribution that define what each example supports.
DED/LMD delivery: Duisburg bridge components
Long-duration LMD builds for Exafuse's 2024 bridge-component project needed process monitoring, control and coordinated delivery.
My responsibility. I led the monitoring and process-control work and coordinated delivery scheduling within my scope.
Connected process measurements and control with the demands of the component builds.
Result and scope. The monitoring/control work enabled unattended builds. Company and partner results remain separately attributed; testing was outside my role.
Read the project and my role Monitoring and control across machines
DED/LMD operators need to relate changing process conditions to the machine, sensors and next control action.
My responsibility. I led the system architecture, development and integration, coordinating contributors working on sensors and algorithms.
Built an integrated workflow spanning modelling, cameras, sensor data, machine interfaces and live control.
Result and scope. Monitoring and control deployed across three machines at two sites. Each machine still requires its own calibration, commissioning and operating limits.
Inside the LMD control system Camera-based height sensing
A usable height signal depends on the optical setup and calibration, as well as image processing.
My responsibility. I developed camera-based height sensing from concept to tested prototype.
Worked with cameras, illumination, optical measurement and calibration to make the measurement interpretable in an industrial process.
Result and scope. A tested prototype and an inspectable measurement workflow. The public case does not claim a certified accuracy or universal operating range.

Manufacturing records need to stay connected from planning through production and quality documentation.
My responsibility. I built the in-house MES/ERP and the operator procedures around it.
Connected quotations, costing, scheduling and manufacturing records through Print-ID traceability.
Result and scope. The workflow is used by every operator, giving process records a place in the history of each part.

Exafuse's contribution to BreitbahnDED
I led Exafuse's contribution, including technical coordination, milestones, costs and reporting, and helped develop and write the proposal. My responsibility connected manufacturing requirements, monitoring and software with university research; it does not represent leadership of the whole consortium.
Alongside project delivery, I have managed five employees with hiring responsibility.
