| Greetings! | |
Here at Patti Engineering, we strive to provide exceptional service not only to our customers, but also our communities. Strong communities build strong companies and we have a long history of community involvement.
In this month's article, we will share our experience with three charities. We donate to these charities on a regular basis with financial gifts and volunteer time: Michigan Regional Future City Competition, the FIRST Robotics Competition, and the Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac, MI.
The Patti Personnel spotlight is on Senior Engineer, Joe Palace. With his extensive experience prior to joining Patti Engineering, he has quickly become a key member of our engineering team. Joe celebrated his 50th birthday this month with a golf trip to Pebble Beach! Check out the beautiful pictures!
Are you attending the 'Manufacturing in America Symposium' featuring the Technology Tip-Off at Ford Field in Detroit, March 20 - 21, 2013? It is an event you do not want to miss! Patti Engineering will have a booth and host a Siemens technical seminar. The event is hosted by Siemens and Electro-Matic Products and registration is now open, click here to register.

Patti Personnel - Joe Palace
|
 | | Joe and Janet Palace |
Joe Palace, one of our very talented senior engineers, is our spotlight this month. Joe has been with Patti Engineering just under two years and has already become a valuable member of our team. In addition to recognizing Joe for his work contributions, we congratulate Joe on celebrating his 50th birthday this month in style. Joe and his wife, Janet, booked a long weekend trip to Monterrey, California where they scored a tee time at Pebble Beach! Joe has recreationally played golf since he was 11 years old and as he explained, "I figured why not, it's on my bucket list and you only turn 50 once!" Be sure to check out the Pebble Beach pictures below (click on the link below to see all pictures) and Joe's results - impressive Joe!  | | Joe putting on the 7th hole |
Just like golf, Joe brings dedication and passion to his work. He has the expertise to tackle a wide range of challenging automation projects and efficiently engineer successful solutions. He has taken the lead and support roles on many projects where he was responsible for a multitude of tasks, including hardware design, PLC programming, HMI modifications, developing new MES Systems, programming and commissioning vision stations, and commissioning new Fanuc Robotics Paint Systems.
Joe has an extensive knowledge of a wide range automation brands and products including robotic systems. His expertise in the products of Patti Engineering partner companies, including Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Indusoft, has been an important asset for our client base. "Joe's exceptional wealth of experience, before joining Patti Engineering, has proven invaluable to becoming a key member of our engineering team," commented Sam Hoff, president of Patti Engineering.
Prior to joining Patti Engineering, Joe worked as a senior controls engineer in automotive and general industry automation for several companies. In addition, Joe spent 13 years at Fanuc Robotics as a senior engineer working in the Paint Shop Automation Group (sealer and paint applications) and Automated Systems Group (machine tending applications). Before Fanuc, Joe worked for ABB, Graco, and Lansing Board of Water & Light.
