He obtained the highest mark of the 2007 graduates in the BSc Honours in Computerised Instrumentation Systems and the BSc Honours in Applied Physics & Instrumentation.
Richards's third year placement and his final year project were carried out with Zenith Technologies. His project was entitled "Analogue control modules for the Pharma sector using Siemens PCS7". The main objectives of the project were to:
- Install and set-up Siemens Simatic PC7 Software
- Design and develop two analogue control module standards and incorporate them into a simulation of a typical pharmaceutical vessel using Siemens Simatic PCS7 software.
The control modules generated were fully documented and tested in compliance to GAMP4 guidelines and procedures. The control modules will be added to the Zenith Technologies Library for future PCS7 projects.
