Tarique D. Walters, Electro Mechanical Technician, Pineberry Manufacturing Inc.

Tarique Walters has always wanted to build things, which led him to study automation and robotics. While he came out of college wanting to build robots, he joined Pineberry Manufacturing to build controls. As a PLC programmer and electrician, he spends most of his time building electrical panels, drafting schematics, and programming PLCs, which he loves. Walters began his career at Pineberry as a mechanical assembler and has taken advantage of every educational opportunity presented to him.

What is the most fascinating part of your job?
Being able to code and see things come to life is something I never get tired of experiencing. Especially when what I worked on functions properly, it just brings unparalleled joy to my heart.

What are some industry trends you have been keeping your eye on?
I am currently eyeing upcoming developments in PLCs and vision systems, specifically, the cool ways this technology is catching an image at a high speed and the controls behind it. I love to learn how things work, and vision systems are one of the coolest things to see.
