01 / Plan
Know the plant before you change it.
Verify devices, I/O, sequences and drawing revisions before the build.

AI meets
automation.I make it work.
From the plant floor to the business workflow. I connect controls, software and practical AI to move the work forward.

Ron Denson / Engineering & practical AI
The person behind the systems
I build for the people
who use it.
I have worked on the controls, led the engineering team and run businesses that depend on a good handoff. Those experiences shape how I build industrial systems and practical AI.
Industrial imagery is illustrative.

WHITE CONVEYORS
Ten product lines.
One control platform.
Fragmented controls made each equipment line its own engineering problem. At White Conveyors, I rebuilt ten garment-handling product lines around a modular control platform.
My contribution
Senior Controls Engineer, with responsibility for controls engineering. Architecture, device interfaces, machine communication and software integration.
What changed
One common controls foundation, with the interfaces each equipment application needed.
Delivered through my employment at White Conveyors.

Engineering leadership
The team matters
as much as the system.
12+ engineers led at Millennium Control Systems. Enterprise automation architecture at Americold.
From experience to your next project
Work with me through
DDG Automation.
Industrial automation and practical business AI, grounded in how the work gets done.
01 / INDUSTRIAL
Connect the equipment.
Controls, machine interfaces and the connection between the plant floor and software.
02 / BUSINESS AI
Make the handoff useful.
Voice agents and business workflows that bring a customer inquiry into the work your team can act on.
From my working notes
Before the first
line of code.
The questions I ask about a plant, an interface and the knowledge a team needs.
02 / Connect
Trace the fault across the boundary.
Check what each system expects and what happens when communication fails.
03 / Apply AI
Give the team knowledge they can use.
Start with approved records, clear ownership and answers people can check.
