Mechatronics Engineer · Germany (NRW)

Yunus Emre AKALIN

Bridging Industrial Automation with Advanced Machine Vision.

Robotic integration, optical quality control, and industrial automation — from electrical design and PLC logic to vision-based inspection on the production line.

Engineer. Integrator. Problem Solver.

My interest in complex machinery grew into a career solving factory-floor problems. I began in electrical design and PLC programming, then moved deeper into optical quality control and machine vision. I connect hardware and software: robotics, vision, and plant controls working together. Based in Germany (NRW), I am building experience on international automation projects.

Career Evolution

Automation Engineer

Ateşçi

Industrial automation, PLC and HMI/SCADA, electrical design (EPLAN), and machine vision integration — end-to-end on the factory floor.

  • Automated Quality Control & Vision Systems

    C++ OpenCV Quality control Inline inspection

    Worked with production teams to build automated QC and vision systems in C++ and OpenCV, reducing defects and improving repeatability through structured troubleshooting and solid algorithm choices.

  • Hardware Integration & Inspection

    Cognex Keyence Wenglor Real-time vision

    Delivered camera integrations with Cognex, Keyence, and Wenglor hardware, closing the loop between sensors, drivers, and application software so inspection lines stayed stable under 24/7 production load.

  • PLC Programming & Interface Design

    Siemens TIA Portal WinCC HMI / SCADA

    Developed Siemens TIA Portal PLC programs and WinCC-based HMI/SCADA screens with clear navigation for operators and faster fault isolation on the line.

  • Electrical Design & Documentation

    EPLAN P8 Schematics Safety standards

    Produced EPLAN P8 electrical schematics so assembly and maintenance had consistent documentation, aligned with common industrial safety practice.

Let's Build Something.

Open to roles and projects in industrial automation, machine vision, and robotic cells — from design and software through on-site commissioning.
