Hi, I'm

Thibault

Project Tech Lead

From specification to commissioning, I design and lead special-purpose machines for industry — process, automation, constrained environments.

About

I lead multidisciplinary projects — mechanics, automation, process, quality — from the requirements pack through acceptance. Design office, suppliers and production stay on the same thread, with clear gates.

Comfortable wherever the process is demanding: rate, traceability, acceptance, audit. Medtech (including Class III) is part of my background — one rigorous frame among others, not an exclusive scope.

Project Tech Lead

Technical leadership of multidisciplinary projects, from specification to delivery.

Demanding industries

Quality, compliance and constrained environments — medtech, pharma, industrial process.

Special-purpose machines

Design and build of custom equipment for critical processes.

Projects

Representative cases — clients, sites and equipment visuals stay confidential.

UR robot cell — heat treatment

RoboticsAI visionCE marking
Problem
Before the cell, there was only a very high-temperature furnace: the operator loaded parts one by one, tied to the cycle and exposed to HSE risks.
Approach
UR cobot cell with an AI camera to detect free and occupied slots on the infeed and outfeed racks. Full architecture and software: sequencing, product traceability, maintenance.
Outcome
Autonomous cell — the operator can do other work while it runs. CE certification completed with an external body.

In-process inspection

VisionQualityAutomation
Problem
Upgrade of an existing machine prone to drift: without an alert and a stop, a whole batch went to scrap. The need was to detect early, warn, and halt the process.
Approach
Measurements and vision next to the operation, interlocks, alarms, documented and verified software.
Outcome
Drift stopped before the full batch was lost. Notification to the operator or the maintenance team, including during on-call. Compliance evidence that stands up in audit.

Dissimilar-materials welding

WeldingMedicalDesign
Problem
Dissimilar-materials welding for medical use: the existing machine tended to drift, needed heavy maintenance, and some parts were no longer available.
Approach
As-is study, then URS, then full mechanical and electronics design, with build subcontracted. FAT/SAT aligned to the URS, operator training, qualification pack, deviation loop through to sign-off.
Outcome
Higher capacity and tighter quality control. Technical documentation to ease maintenance and spare-parts management.
