Introduction

I finished this project in 2026. As a control engineer, I mainly looked after the interfacing work with the HKIA Terminal 1, the SkyPier terminal, the screening system and the self bag drop.

I supported the commissioning of equipment such as the out of gauge lift, the carrier stacker and de-stacker, the vertical sorter, and the dynamic unloader, etc.

I made on-site software and hardware updates to solve control system challenges, some related to the redundant controller and others to control logics.

I also managed the site software deployment and version control.

  • Software:
    • TIA Portal with Openness
    • Version Dog
    • Atlasian: Jira, Bitbucket, Artifactory, etc
    • Movitools with IPOS
