Five years of commissioning on four continents
Before CREDO was created · 2012 to 2017
Commissioning engineer at SAMES, on four continents
CREDO did not come from nowhere. From 2012 to 2017, before creating the company, I was a commissioning engineer at SAMES: liquid and powder paint installations to start up, at car manufacturers, suppliers and industrial companies, on four continents. These projects shaped the method CREDO applies today.
The sites where I worked, outside France, where the projects are too numerous to be pinned.
2012 to 2017: commissioning at SAMES
Commissioning engineer, permanently on the road. Liquid and powder paint installations, at car manufacturers, suppliers and industrial companies, on four continents.
Safran : robotisation of the painting of engine blades for the A320neo, on two sites, in New Hampshire in the United States and in Querétaro, Mexico.
PSA Sochaux : maintenance and modifications on Accubell EVO bells.
Nissan Sunderland : supervision of a robotic cell applying sealant to the lower tailgate.
Renault Avtoframos, Moscow : work on the application equipment.
Jakarta, Indonesia : integration of a powder coating booth at a large furniture manufacturer.
TVS, Bangalore, India : installation of two stations, base coat and clear coat, with two robots, at a scooter manufacturer.
Querétaro, Mexico : installation of a primer and base coat station at an automotive plastics supplier.
Johannesburg, South Africa : installation of a powder coating booth.
And others still: Hanover in Germany, a Visteon site in the Czech Republic, and so many projects all over France that I no longer count them.
And after
From 2017, a step up: two welding robot integration projects of two years each, at the Renault plant in Bursa then in Maubeuge, as sole ABB representative on site. The details of these projects are here.
What it changes today
✓ A site method proven on plant shutdowns where every hour counts. ✓ The habit of coordinating several suppliers on the same site, with the customer in the loop. ✓ A knowledge of application equipment, liquid and powder, acquired by commissioning it.
