My name is Jesse Zipf, founder of ForgeWorx Automation. With over 15 years of experience across the medical, industrial, and safety sectors, I provide the high-level engineering of a Tier-1 firm with the agility and cost-efficiency of a dedicated consultant. From Penn State roots to real-world installations, I specialize in bridging the gap between a conceptual "napkin sketch" and a fully functioning production floor. Whether you need a critical PLC bug fixed today or a ground-up robotic cell designed for next year, I deliver industrial-grade solutions without the corporate overhead. Core Competencies: PLC Programming & Troubleshooting: Expert-level logic for complex manufacturing. Full System Design: Electrical, mechanical, and control systems from scratch. CAD & Prototyping: Single-part modeling to massive assembly designs in SolidWorks. Robotics Integration: Programming and hardware implementation. Consulting: Strategic guidance for DIY teams needing professional validation. I don’t just write code; I build systems that work. Let’s discuss your project and get your facility running at peak efficiency.

Hello! I'm here to help you with your PLC and HMI programming - specifically Automation Direct's line of PLCs (Direct Logic, CLICK, Productivity, Koyo, Do-More, etc.) and HMIs (C-More) and VFDs (GS4, IronHorse, GS20, etc.). I have fully licensed versions of their programming software, including DirectSoft 6 as well. I can additionally program PLCs like Schneider Zelio and M221 / M241 / etc.. I have extensive experience with industrial instrumentation in oil/gas and manufacturing environments and can help you remotely troubleshoot, program, and more! Got an old program you want to convert? No problem! I’ve done conversions from PLCs like Allen Bradley SLC500 and MicroLogix and EZAutomation as well. I can also design and build your custom control panels in my shop in Montana.
