About the Region

Automation in the Saarland Region

Saarland is a strong industrial location with focal points in automotive supply, steel industry and machine building. With my residence in Mettlach and the engineering office in Luxembourg, I look after Saarland customers practically as an on-site engineer. Regular projects in Saarbrücken, Saarlouis, Neunkirchen, Völklingen and Homburg. My experience ranges from PLC programming of individual machines to the automation of complete production lines. I work with Siemens TIA Portal, STEP 7 Classic and WinCC – the standards of Saarland industry. As an external engineer I am flexible: for short-term commissioning, ongoing projects, or to reinforce your engineering team during capacity bottlenecks. Two core areas: commissioning of new lines and retrofit. Many Saarland industrial systems still run on S5 or S7-300/400 controllers – I migrate them reliably to S7-1200 or S7-1500 with TIA Portal and replace old WinCC Flexible/Classic HMIs with WinCC Unified. When only an online snapshot without symbols remains: reverse engineering and re-documentation of S5 and S7-Classic, AI-accelerated.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I work on projects in Saarbrücken, Saarlouis, Neunkirchen, Völklingen, Homburg, St. Ingbert, Dillingen and Merzig. With my residence in Mettlach, I am directly based in Saarland and can be on-site at short notice.

I work with automotive suppliers, the steel industry, mechanical engineering, ceramics & glass, pharma & chemistry and the food industry. Each industry has specific requirements that I know from years of experience.

Yes, as a freelance engineer I am flexibly deployable. Short-notice commissioning, substitutions during capacity bottlenecks or project-based assignments are my daily business.

Absolutely. I integrate seamlessly into existing teams and work according to your standards and specifications. Many of my projects are team reinforcements during capacity bottlenecks.

Yes, retrofit and migration of legacy controllers is my focus. I migrate S5 and S7-300/400 controllers to S7-1200 or S7-1500 with TIA Portal, and retrofit old WinCC Flexible/Classic HMIs to WinCC Unified. Through my expertise in STEP 7 Classic and TIA Portal, I know both worlds – saving time and reducing risk during transition.

Yes. When only an online snapshot without symbols remains (DBs not documented, no network comments), I reconstruct symbols and documentation – AI-accelerated. Works for S5 and S7-Classic (S7-300/400). When the E-Plan is missing, also from scanned schematics. Typical in Saarland: legacy systems in automotive and steel industry where handover documentation was lost. On request directly with migration to TIA Portal.

Yes, AI consulting for plant operators and integrators is a dedicated service. AI-assisted PLC programming in TIA Portal, TIA Openness for automated workflows, AI-assisted WinCC Unified panel creation, AI as a booster for diagnostics and hard problems – practical, in daily engineering use for nearly a year.
