About Me
Eduardo Vieira
Industrial Automation & IIoT Engineer
I am a Mechanical Engineer by training and an Automation Engineer by passion. For more than seven years I have connected shop-floor equipment with enterprise systems, translating raw signals into reliable intelligence that manufacturing leaders can act on.
Professional Snapshot
Background
From Mechanical Systems to Connected Factories
My career began on the factory floor designing mechanical systems and writing PLC logic for custom equipment. That experience taught me how production teams operate, where downtime originates, and how critical it is to deliver dependable control solutions.
As Industry 4.0 accelerated, I leaned into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Today I build the full data pipeline—connecting controllers, edge devices, MQTT brokers, and cloud platforms—so organizations can monitor operations in real time, reduce downtime, and capture actionable insights.
I thrive on complex, multi-platform environments. Whether a project calls for Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, ABB, or CODESYS, I select the right tools, document every step, and deliver systems your team can own with confidence.
Mechanical Foundations
Started by designing and programming bespoke machinery, building a deep understanding of physical processes, safety, and operator needs.
Industrial Automation Journey
Expanded into PLC programming, SCADA development, and control strategy optimization for discrete and process industries.
IIoT Specialization
Now architecting secure data pipelines that move OT information to the cloud for real-time visibility, analytics, and decision support.
Collaboration
A Trusted Partner for Global Teams
My clients value a partner who can see the big picture while mastering the details. I coordinate mechanical, electrical, and IT stakeholders, translating requirements into a cohesive roadmap and communicating progress at every milestone.
Each engagement ends with structured documentation, operator training, and support options tailored to your internal capabilities—ensuring that the solution keeps delivering value long after commissioning.
100% Upwork Job Success
A proven track record with international clients who rely on me for mission-critical automation projects and ongoing support.
Bilingual Communication
Native Spanish speaker fluent in English, enabling seamless collaboration with stakeholders across North and Latin America.
Remote-First Delivery
Experienced working across time zones with clear documentation, proactive updates, and secure remote access protocols.
Core Identity
What defines my approach to industrial automation and IIoT.
Bridge Between OT & IT
I translate between control engineers, IT teams, and leadership so everyone is aligned on outcomes, risks, and success metrics.
End-to-End Ownership
From PLC logic and safety validation to edge gateways and cloud dashboards, I handle the full lifecycle of modern automation projects.
Data-Driven Manufacturing
Every solution is designed to transform machine data into actionable intelligence that improves throughput, quality, and uptime.
Technology Platforms
Multi-vendor expertise enables me to deliver the right solution for each environment.
PLC Ecosystems
Siemens TIA Portal, Allen-Bradley Studio 5000, Mitsubishi GX Works, ABB, and CODESYS with Ladder, Structured Text, and FBD.
SCADA & Visualization
Ignition, ThingsBoard, FUXA, Node-RED, Siemens WinCC, PanelView, and Weintek platforms for operators and executives alike.
IIoT & Cloud
MQTT, Sparkplug B, AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud, industrial PCs, and Python for edge analytics and integrations.
Edge & Networking
Industrial PCs, Raspberry Pi, secure VPNs, Modbus, OPC UA, and Ethernet/IP networks engineered for uptime.
Electrical & Panel Design
AutoCAD Electrical, UL 508A knowledge, component selection, schematics, and BOM development for compliant panels.
Software & Scripting
Python for automation, Node-RED for orchestration, and structured documentation to keep teams aligned.
Guiding Principles
These values ensure every engagement delivers lasting impact.
- 1
Clarity & Communication
Transparent planning, weekly touchpoints, and visual documentation keep distributed teams aligned and confident.
- 2
Reliability First
Systems are built with industrial-grade components, defensive programming, and cybersecurity best practices.
