Job Title : Controls Engineer Location : Warran, MI

Duration : Long Term

Job Description :

~ The Error Proofing Platform (EPP) is a sophisticated system designed to prevent manufacturing defects and ensure high-quality production through automation and real-time monitoring.

~&##128736;️ What Is GM’s Error Proofing Platform (EPP)?

~ EPP is GM’s standardized system for error detection and prevention across its assembly lines.

~ It evolved from earlier systems like GEP and SEP (Scalable Error Proofing), and is now integrated into GM’s Global Common Controls Software (GCCS-2) framework.

~ EPP combines hardware, software, and configuration tools to monitor and control production tasks at the Track Zone and Footprint levels.

Key Components :

SEP / EPP Server : Runs SQL Server, Rockwell RSLinx, and GE Fanuc CIMPLICITY HMI software.

Cell Controllers : Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 PLCs manage local automation tasks.

Operator Interfaces (OIs) : Include light stacks, I / O modules, and bypass / release keys for manual overrides.

Runtime UI : Allows engineers to monitor, simulate, and validate production tasks in real time.

How It Works :

Engineers configure tasks using templates and logic flows.

The system uses triggers (single or complex) to initiate error checks.

It supports Main, Backup, and Alternate Tools to ensure redundancy.

Ethernet I / O mapping and IO-Link architecture connect sensors and devices for real-time feedback.
