Zach Morgan wields extensive knowledge of controls as it relates to the heat treat industry, his ability to put that knowledge into practice in a way that yields real world results, his initiative, leadership, and most importantly his care that he has demonstrated for his clients.

Zach is an experienced electrical engineer with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Zach is skilled in MATLAB and RSLogix 500/5000. In 2017, Zach joined Super Systems, Inc. as a project engineer. He is now senior project engineer. For the past year, Zach has been setting up new controllers and troubleshooting problems. His knowledge of aerospace flow downs and programming is well beyond his years. He has vast knowledge about all types of furnaces and endothermic generators and has great ideas to improve these processes. While employed at Super Systems, Inc., Zach has been studying for a Professional Engineer (PE) certification. He has passed the initial tests and is working towards the license.

At Cook Induction Heating Co., Zach has been the lead engineer on a number of projects at Cook’s facility. Zach implemented SSi’s fully electronic SCADA package at Cook Induction. Zach went above and beyond to ensure personnel at Cook were fully trained and comfortable with the new system. Zach’s extensive knowledge and experience gave Cook the confidence to reach back out to help solve issues they were having with the reliability of combustion burners on a few furnaces.

Another instance of his leadership and problem-resolution abilities came up with a burner redesign that solved the issues at Cook Induction. Zach worked diligently to plan the project with little furnace downtime and minimal impact on production. He communicated each phase of the upgrade to ensure Cook’s team was in the loop. Most impressive was Zach’s genuine passion for improving operations at Cook Induction. A clear leader with an exceptional work ethic, he has gained the respect of those he’s worked with.

Zach has been supporting Bodycote’s West Coast plants in multiple capacities. He has assisted Bodycote personnel on several plant-wide controls retrofits, SCADA retrofits, and numerous other smaller scale or localized controls projects. In managing the projects from start to finish, he oversaw the engineering, personally performed the installations of the controls, performed controls/software integration, and performed start-up and tuning of all the systems.

He has demonstrated deep knowledge of controls, software, wiring, plumbing, mechanical retrofits, and understands how a furnace (any furnace) works and thus how to manage and execute a project from start to finish.
