Meet Joe Pitera
Joe Pitera joined the Axis team as a Drive and Motion Specialist this past Spring.
Joe comes to us with over 20 years’ experience in automation and most recently from his position as a Level 3, Motion Application Engineer for Siemens. His specific expertise includes but is not limited to PLC programming, HMI programming, electronic and mechanical diagnostics, software programming (VB, ST, LAD, MCC, scripting…) and EMC analysis. He has a strong working knowledge of many applications and considered an expert in converting, printing and packaging. Joe has decided to transition from the vendor side to the distribution side of the business channel, “in order to become more pro-active in supporting customers”.
Joe is a New Jersey native, happily married to his wife, Livia, for 18 years. Together they have three beautiful teenage daughters. When asked about his hobbies, Joe says, “I enjoy grilling, all outdoor activities, and mechanics. I have designed and built, machines (fillers, CIP systems, package handling and labeling), outdoor bars and gazebo, go-carts and now dabbling in alternative energy resources (wind mills).”
We can assure you that Joe will listen clearly to your questions and work to solve to your satisfaction any technical challenge you present.
