Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTon Plomp is an experienced automation engineer with 17 years delivering robust PLC, HMI and SCADA solutions across mining and industrial sectors in New Zealand and internationally. He combines deep hands-on expertise in control systems (Schneider, Rockwell), industrial communications (Modbus, Ethernet/IP), and KPI reporting stacks (MS SQL, Power BI, Python) with a systematic, long-term maintainability mindset. Ton has a history of building tooling and UI-focused LabVIEW widgets and IDE extensions in his spare time, demonstrating a practical commitment to developer productivity and user-friendly interfaces. At Rio Tinto and DAIKEN Southland he led reliable, production-grade automation and reporting implementations, while running his own software engineering practice for mission-driven projects. Colleagues rely on his clear verbal and written communication to translate complex control requirements into auditable, maintainable systems. He’s adaptable and curious by trade—equally comfortable debugging ladder logic as he is designing data flows from sensor to business report.
