My experiences with SCADA systems start in 1979 and cover a very wide range of activities, including cost estimating, design, specifications, evaluation of offers, representation of the Contracting Officer, factory inspection tests, final acceptance tests preparation, as well as preparation, loading, and verification of data bases, custom diagrams, and application programs.

I have participated in SCADA systems from the Contracting Officer side as well as from the Contractor's side. Should you have a Process Control or SCADA project, I may be on your side defending your best interests.

I have experience with the following:

• Conferences and presentations offered
• Fuel dispensing control systems
• Remote control systems for closed circuit TV used for marine traffic surveillance
• Remote control systems for closed circuit TV used for centralized security
• SCADA systems for electrical utility applications
• SCADA and similar systems for meteorological and hydrological applications
• SCADA systems for water utility applications

I have participated in the following Process Control System (PCS) projects:

• Locks Machinery Control Systems (SiCME = LMCSs) for the Panama Canal’s Gatún, Miraflores, and Pedro Miguel locks (preliminary stages)
• Electrical Distribution (EDCS), Fire Fighting (FFCS), Locks Machinery (LMCS), and Wastewater Treatment Control Systems of the Panama Canal’s Agua Clara and Cocolí locks (all stages)

Also, I keep up to date on Process Control Systems (PCSs) and SCADA/EMS technology by the following:

• Attendance to conventions and expositions
• Attendance to user group meetings
• Books
• Catalogs
• Courses taken
• International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC)
• Internet
• Publications from some manufacturers
• Technical Magazines
