I'm Julian Fascio — I own territories, onboard Tier‑1 accounts, and commission robots across six OEM platforms from pre‑install audit to production runoff. When the tooling doesn't exist yet, I build it.
A book on practical AI, an open-source vision-monitoring platform, and two AI-assisted robot-programming tools — the work that shows I understand these systems from the controller up.
A field guide arguing that the real value of AI in industrial and knowledge work comes from steady, grounded adoption — not the hype cycle. Written from the floor, not the boardroom.
Vendor-agnostic health monitoring for machine-vision lines. EWMA drift modeling, Cognex OPC-UA / Keyence RS-232 / PLC adapters, a Flask REST API, and a live OEE dashboard — catching camera degradation before it becomes scrap.
Generates production-ready FANUC TP (.LS) pick-and-place programs from a parameterized form — motion, I/O, frames, cycle counters, and a full fault-handling structure. Cuts first-draft programming time to seconds.
Produces complete ABB RAPID (.mod) modules — taught targets, named speeddata, gripper I/O, timeouts, and a real ERROR handler — plus engineer notes for safe first-cycle commissioning.
Customer-facing applications and sales engineering across industrial automation — territories, enterprise accounts, and the factory floor.
On-site coordinator for the vision integration group — owned cross-team communication, translated technical requirements, and kept deployment work aligned and on schedule. Built supporting Python tooling (data parse/export, FTP handoff) to streamline vision-data flow across the team.
Primary technical escalation for Tier-1 accounts (P&G, Ford, Hyundai, Magna, Amazon) — onboarded ~2 enterprise customers per month from pre-install through production runoff. Deployed CAD-based 6-DOF pose estimation for bin picking, assembly, and packaging, and resolved live-line failures across FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, and Nachi robots.
Led national automation product strategy and a team of applications engineers toward a projected 300% sales increase within six months. Built technical marketing, application strategies, and market positioning to strengthen competitive standing.
Owned the Eastern U.S. territory, driving an 80% increase in new-customer acquisition and record fiscal growth through specification sales and competitive displacement. Primary technical advisor to consulting engineers, distributors, and contractors; built guides, case studies, and training delivered across the region.
Designed and installed robotic work cells integrating FANUC, ABB, Kawasaki, and KUKA systems in NX and AutoCAD. Generated drawings, BOMs, and assembly docs; supervised fabrication and launched a new FDM 3D-printing service offering.
Co-founded an AI-focused nonprofit advancing thoughtful discussion on AI governance and responsible technology. Authored policy articles, planned hackathons, and built an advisor and mentor network.
Territory ownership, enterprise onboarding, competitive displacement, technical training and enablement, distributor and channel support.
FANUC (TP / Karel), ABB (RAPID), KUKA, Yaskawa, Nachi, Kawasaki — integration, commissioning, and production runoff.
Primary technical escalation for Tier-1 manufacturers. Pre-install audits, stakeholder alignment, and long-term deployment growth.
Cognex In-Sight, Keyence XG-X / VS / LJ-X, CAD-based 6-DOF pose estimation, lensing, lighting, calibration, and frame transforms.
PLC integration, I/O mapping, OPC-UA / RS-232, and resolving production-critical faults under live-line pressure.
Python / Flask, SQL, OPC-UA automation; Lean, Six Sigma, PFMEA, and 5-Whys root-cause analysis.
Open to field application and technical sales engineering roles at automation and vision OEMs — and to interesting deployment challenges. Based in Metro Detroit, available across North America.
