Master's in Smart Factory Technologies · UM6P

Industrial & Industry 4.0 Engineer

I work where industrial operations meet modern software: automation and control on the field side, data, AI, and Industry 4.0 systems on the digital side, turning shop-floor signals into clean systems people actually use to run a plant better.

About Me

Achraf Rachid

I'm a multidisciplinary engineer by design, not by accident. My background runs across four layers that most engineers only touch one of: electrical engineering, industrial automation, systems engineering, and software/AI. In a modern factory, the value is created by the people who can talk to the field instruments, the data and IT layer, and the management chain in the same week.

My foundation is industrial. I'm finishing a Master's in Industrial Technologies for the Factory of the Future at UM6P: smart factories, automation, MES integration (ISA-95 / IEC 62264), Lean 4.0, and data-driven operations. On top of that, I can build the digital systems myself: acquisition, dashboards, anomaly detection, and the AI layer. That's how I end up owning a problem end to end instead of handing it off.

Where I'm headed: operations and project management in an industrial environment. The path is deliberate: earn depth on the technical side first, then take responsibility one industrial project at a time.

Where the shop floor meets the software

What I Do

Industrial Operations & Continuous Improvement

Production performance, KPI and OEE tracking, root-cause analysis, and Lean methods (5S, PDCA, standardized work) applied to make a line safer, faster, and more reliable.

Automation & Control

PLC programming (TIA Portal, Unity Pro), SCADA supervision (Ignition), and real-time acquisition over industrial protocols (IEC 61850, Modbus, OPC-UA, Profinet), connecting field equipment to a usable data layer.

Industry 4.0 & Systems Engineering

MES integration, ISA-95 / IEC 62264, RAMI 4.0, and model-based systems engineering (SysML, UML) to structure complex industrial systems from requirements to verification.

Industrial Data & AI

Turning machine and process data into monitoring, anomaly detection, and decision support: condition monitoring, predictive-maintenance signals, and dashboards that surface deviations as they happen.
