Project Control Specialist

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. ️ 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.
