THE GENERAL HISTORY
OF
LARGE MACHINERY
OF LARGE MACHINERY
11 years of international engineering practice.
My name is Andrey Nikulin. I am a industrial/mechanical engineer and technologist with international experience in automation and modernization of production facilities.
In Europe I managed large-scale automation of food plants (including LE&CO, Czech Republic), implemented intelligent quality control systems and launched new production lines.

In the US, I founded SMART-MECHTECH (Nikulin LLC) - to help small and medium-sized businesses effectively implement Industry 4.0 technologies and reduce costs.
I am a Senior Member of IEEE, Fellow of IET (UK) and a judge of the prestigious Awards in the Innovation and Manufacturing categories.
