PLC & Robot Data Integration Engineer — Contract Project (4 Months) Project Type:Fixed Price Contract Budget: ₹3,00,000 (slightly negotiable) Duration: 4 months Location: On-site required (Satara, Maharashtra) — remote-only freelancers will not be considered Start: Immediate --- Project Overview We run AI-powered robot health monitoring and machine inspection systems on live automotive OEM shop floors — CNC/VMC/HMC/lathe machines and industrial robots (KUKA, Fanuc). We need a hands-on automation/controls freelancer to pull real-time and historical data directly off PLCs, CNC controllers, and robot controllers at our Satara plant, and get that data flowing reliably into our central server/database. This is floor-based integration work — connecting to control panels and robot cabinets, configuring communication, and building the pipeline that carries the data back to us. Not a remote-only or purely software role. Scope of Work - Establish live data connections to PLCs/CNC controllers at the Satara plant: Fanuc (FOCAS/Macro B), Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, Delta — mix varies by machine. - Configure robot controller communication (KUKA, Fanuc) to extract telemetry: current, temperature, torque, cycle time, alarms/faults. - Use appropriate protocols per machine: OPC UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, Ethernet/IP, RS232/RS485 serial links. - Set up an edge gateway to aggregate data from multiple machines/robots on-site before onward transmission. - Push collected data to our central server (**PostgreSQL**) in a clean, standardized format. - Handle inconsistent legacy machines — some controllers have limited or no native connectivity (older Fanuc Oi-series, Allen Bradley Micrologix, HMT SPMs on hardwired relay logic); propose and implement fallback approaches where needed. - Document every connection: protocol used, port/config, machine ID, and any workarounds — handed over as a complete connectivity map. - Test end-to-end: data visible and updating correctly at the central server for each connected machine/robot before sign-off. Deliverables 1. Working data pipeline from PLCs/robots → edge gateway → central PostgreSQL server, live across the covered machines. 2. Connectivity documentation (protocol, config, machine mapping) for each cell. 3. Handover walkthrough with our internal engineering team. Required Skills & Experience - Proven hands-on experience connecting to industrial PLCs/CNC controllers (Fanuc, Siemens, Allen Bradley, or Mitsubishi) — please share specific project examples. - Working experience with OPC UA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, or RS232/RS485 communication. - Experience pulling data from industrial robot controllers (KUKA or Fanuc preferred). - Comfortable scripting data pipelines in Python (or similar) and writing to PostgreSQL/SQL. - Able to read control panel wiring/documentation and troubleshoot connectivity issues independently on-site. - Based in or able to work on-site in Satara for the full contract duration. Nice to Have - IIoT/edge gateway deployment experience. - Prior work with automotive OEM manufacturing plants. - Experience with SCADA/MES data integration. Budget & Terms - Fixed price: ₹3,00,000 for the full 4-month scope (open to slight negotiation based on demonstrated relevant experience). - Payment terms: milestone-based only — milestones and payout split to be discussed and agreed based on project timelines. - On-site work at our Satara plant required for the full contract duration. --- To apply: share examples of past PLC/robot communication projects, the protocols/brands you've worked with, and your availability for a 4-month on-site engagement.

My name is Mubeen and I run a highly experienced team at Web Crest, specializing in technical solutions, data automation and integration projects just like the one you have outlined. Over the years, we have successfully connected industrial PLCs and CNC controllers of various models such as Fanuc, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi through different protocols including OPC UA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP and RS232/RS485. We are also adept at retrieving valuable telemetry data from robot controllers such as KUKA and Fanuc - all of which makes us an ideal fit for your project. Moreover, our proficiency in Python scripting allows us to easily handle data pipelines and database management using PostgreSQL or any other relevant system — a skill-set highly required for this project. Our extensive experience working on automation processes combined with electrical engineering knowledge equip us to work independently on-site and troubleshoot any connectivity issues that may arise along the way. We carefully document every connection with detailed protocols used and configurations implemented, to ensure seamless handover to your internal engineering team upon project completion. In addition to our core skills, we bring several nice-to-have attributes. Firstly, our edge gateway deployment experience will be valuable in aggregating and transmitting data from multiple machines and robots on-site.

Hi, I can support your PLC, CNC, and robot data integration project with on-site industrial connectivity, edge data collection, and PostgreSQL-based telemetry pipelines. My approach will be to first audit the available machines, controller models, communication interfaces, wiring documentation, and required data points. Then I’ll establish reliable connections using suitable protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, Ethernet/IP, RS232/RS485, Fanuc/KUKA interfaces, and build the edge-to-server data flow. I’m comfortable with: * PLC/CNC/robot data integration * Industrial communication protocols * Python data pipelines * PostgreSQL data storage * Edge gateway architecture * Machine telemetry collection * Alarm/fault data handling * Connectivity troubleshooting * Technical documentation Deliverables: * Working machine → edge → PostgreSQL pipeline * Machine/robot connectivity map * Protocol and configuration documentation * Data standardization approach * Testing and validation * Engineering handover documentation I’ll focus on reliable shop-floor integration, clear documentation, and a maintainable IIoT foundation suitable for automotive manufacturing environments. Relevant PLC/robot integration examples and technical details can be shared during discussion. Best regards Ankit

Dear Client, I read "On-Site PLC/Robot Data Integration Expert" carefully and understand you need hands-on Claude/Anthropic expertise to build or integrate an AI assistant that actually works reliably. My hands-on experience with Python, PostgreSQL aligns directly with what you need. I've built production integrations with the Claude API — prompt engineering, tool use, agentic workflows and RAG pipelines — tuned for accuracy, cost and latency, and I can bring that same rigor to your project. A few quick questions to get us started: 1. Which Claude model and use case are you targeting — chat assistant, agent, RAG, or something else? 2. Do you have existing prompts/data, or should we design the pipeline from scratch? 3. What's your expected usage volume, so we can plan for cost and rate limits? Thanks & Regards, Deepak

Hello, I reviewed the scope carefully. This is a hands-on industrial integration project requiring proven on-site experience with Fanuc, Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, KUKA, CNC controllers, and industrial protocols. My background is primarily software, embedded systems, automation, data integration, and cloud infrastructure, with over 10 years of development experience. I have worked with embedded C and Renesas MCUs and industrial data communication, but I would not claim specific hands-on Fanuc, KUKA, or OEM plant experience that I cannot substantiate. Because the role requires four months fully on-site in Satara, I would also need to confirm the on-site arrangement before proceeding. Could you confirm whether remote development of the edge gateway and PostgreSQL pipeline is possible for any portion of the project, and which controllers are highest priority? Best regards, Bojan Spasic
