Development of an Optimization Method for the Automatic Layout Generation of Conveyor Systems
The development of efficient baggage handling systems is crucial for ensuring seamless travel experiences for passengers. A critical component of these systems is the conveyor system, which is pivotal in transporting baggage from check-in to the final destination. To improve the efficiency of conveyor systems, it is essential to design them to optimize their layout and maximize their throughput capacity.
This task, however, is challenging and time-consuming, as it requires extensive knowledge of the various components and constraints.
This research addresses that topic by developing an optimization method for the automatic layout generation of conveyor systems in baggage handling systems.
This approach involves using advanced algorithms to automate the process of conveyor system design, reducing the time and resources required for manual layout generation.

Development and Implementation of a Routing Algortihm for Heterogeneous Inbound Transport Systems
The aim of this work was the development of an algorithm that optimises order allocation and the routes to be taken in internal transport. Restrictions to be taken into account were, for example, the relationships between the different means of transport and transport units.
This algorithm was then implemented and evaluated in an existing model in Plant Simulation with SimTalk. The final solution was a combination of the Hungarian method and the 2-opt heuristic with the option to optimise travel times or distances to be traveled. These implementations resulted in significant improvements in system performance.

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a Software Tool for Partially Automated Optical Component Measurement
In the course of this work I developed a programme for manual and semi-automatic optical measurement of components by using simple mobile phone images. The programme contained a custom interface with the possibility of calibrating planes using Charuco boards and measurements in three-dimensional space. Measurements can be made either manually by drawing lines or by means of automatically generated borehole measurements. The implementation of the programme was done entirely in Python.
Team Lead for Simulation Projects for Airport Baggage Handling Systems
SD (Middle East) LLC
Simulation Team
SL ICS RC-AE EN
Role:
Team Lead
As the team lead, I am currently responsible for overseeing and executing all Siemens Logistics simulation projects in the Middle East. These responsibilities ensure the successful execution and delivery of high-quality 3D simulation projects, contributing to the overall efficiency and reliability of airport baggage handling systems in the region. The choice of simulation tool, whether AutoMod or Plant Simulation, is determined by the specific requirements and characteristics of each project.
Key processes to be carried out:
-
Model Creation: Developing comprehensive 3D simulation models for airport baggage handling systems (BHS) using AutoMod or Plant Simulation, including all PLC and IT logic
-
Model Optimization: Collaborating with other departments to refine and optimize the models, ensuring they meet the required performance standards.
-
Simulation Runs: Conducting multiple simulation runs to test various scenarios, assessing the efficiency, effectiveness, and robustness of the BHS under different conditions, such as high peaks or failures.
-
Simulation Report Creation: Compiling and presenting detailed simulation reports that document the findings, insights, and recommendations derived from the simulation runs.
-
Customer Training: Providing training to customers, ensuring they understand how to use and interpret the simulation models and reports effectively.
Creation of Custom Power BI Visuals for 3D Visualisations of Conveyor Systems
SIEMENS LOGISTICS GMBH
Simulation Team
SL AIR TI EN MS SIM
Role:
Responsible Person
Key processes carried out:
-
Development from Scratch: Creating the visuals from scratch using custom JavaScript code.
-
Data Integration: Enabling the visuals to link with additional data tables, allowing for filtering and automatic visualization of results within the 3D layout.
-
Interface Creation: Developing various interfaces to ensure compatibility with different tools used company-wide.
-
Dashboard Integration: Ensuring the custom visuals are ready to use and can be seamlessly included in any PowerBI dashboard.
I was responsible for the creation and implementation of a custom Power BI visual tailored for 3D visualizations of conveyor systems. These efforts ensured the seamless integration of advanced visualization capabilities into Power BI dashboards, significantly enhancing the analysis and presentation of conveyor system data used across the company.

Role:
Responsible Person
This project arose during my time as stand-in process specialist planner for the core processes of glue application and drying.
With the high health risks associated with spraying the adhesive onto the parts to be covered with leather, the employees need to be protected as much as possible. Due to the recent increase in volume and change in layout with the newly installed drying booths, the current breathing air system had to be replaced.
Key processes carried out:
-
Assessment of current safety measures in cooperation with the Health and Safety Department and external specialists
-
Internal benchmarking in different departments
-
Preparation of management status presentations
-
Planning and steering implementation of a full masks breathing air system including various air filters
-
