Justin Page
Owner/Electrical Engineer
Justin has always had a passion for all things mechanical and electrical. He started his journey working on state-of-the-art civilian aircraft as an Airframe & Powerplant mechanic. During this employment, he decided to pursue his engineering degree at Penn State University in Electro-Mechanical Engineering. While in school, he was offered a job opportunity working for a large manufacturing company on commercial nuclear coolant pumps. Recognizing the experience this would offer for the future, Justin left aviation.
Justin continued to work full time, applying his schooling to his work. Upon graduating , he leveraged his work experience and new degree for a position in a Custom Products department. His role included designing custom gas detection systems using a variety of PLC and HMI brands, from small Automation Direct PLC’s to Allen Bradley CompactLogix. In this role he was responsible for designing the control and the flow systems which included the overall mechanical design, tubing design, creating bill of materials, creating test plans as well as overseeing the build in the shop. While in the custom products department he designed and launched a standard gas detection product being used all over the country for wastewater treatment plants.
This experience created the opportunity for Justin to transition into a Manufacturing Engineering role, designing and building automated manufacturing equipment, retrofitting current automated manufacturing equipment and working on process improvement initiatives that focused on the use of automation to increase productivity, quality and safety. One of the automation initiatives Justin completed was designing a heat staking process that took 30 seconds per part with an operator and decreasing the process to approximately 6 seconds per part with the use of automation. He also used various project management techniques when designing and creating scope documents for machines built by outside vendors, as well as overseeing cost and time targets. In this multi-faceted position, Justin also supported the maintenance techs and was responsible for troubleshooting complex automated machines. This allowed him to use his experience as an aircraft mechanic and his education in combination to solve complex automation issues.
He was presented an opportunity at a different company to start a new role as a Software Engineer. This position includes completing PLC and HMI programming for large 480V, 3 phase Uninterruptible Power Supplies and Critical Load Cabinets. Justin is a lifelong learner and has begun learning Python, C++ and C# programming to develop PC based solutions to allow him more range to support customers.
During his career, he has experience working with Allen-Bradley PLC’s and HMI’s, Schneider PLC’s, Proface HMI’s, DirectLogic PLC’s, DoMore PLC’s, Productivity Series PLC’s, C-More HMI’s, servo drives and motors, stepper drives and motors, various different types of sensors, linear and rotary motion, industrial communication protocols (Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, BacNET, Ethernet I/P, basic ASCII), Microsoft Project and the standard Microsoft software suite.
