Commissioning Engineer · Fives Intralogistics

I turn complex automation
into reliable, running plants.

I'm Simone Minuz — a Software Commissioning Engineer with 4+ years bringing industrial logistics systems to life: safety PLC software, WCS & high-level integration, Profinet networks, and end-to-end testing across complex multi-vendor environments.

01 About

Engineering the moment a system goes live.

Commissioning is where design meets reality — and where I do my best work. I coordinate the technical and project-management sides of bringing automated logistics plants online, from initial start-up all the way to final customer acceptance.

At Fives Intralogistics I develop and validate safety PLC software, run KPI-driven simulations, and contribute to the high-level, bridge and WCS software in C++. I integrate and validate third-party systems — HMI, SCADA, camera vision, X-ray units and weighing modules — and lead functional testing across complex, multi-vendor environments.

I'm equally at home writing Python & C# tooling to automate validation and log analysis as I am on the plant floor troubleshooting a live line. My focus is always the same: operational reliability and a system the customer can trust.

05 What I Do

How I bring a plant online.

01

Safety PLC & Spec Validation

Develop safety PLC software and validate final plant specifications against technical and regulatory requirements — safety is never an afterthought.

02

Simulation & KPI Verification

Build simulations that verify throughput and availability KPIs before hardware is on site, turning results into reports that drive engineering decisions.

03

WCS & High-Level Software

Contribute in C++ to the high-level, bridge and WCS layers — the software brain routing material through the plant.

04

Third-Party Integration

Integrate and validate HMI, SCADA, camera vision, X-ray and weighing modules into a coherent, reliable whole.

05

Automation Tooling

Write Python & C# utilities that automate Excel processing, statistical analysis and log parsing — cutting validation time dramatically.

06

End-to-End Commissioning

Lead testing from initial start-up to final acceptance, coordinating teams and suppliers to accelerate delivery without compromising quality.
