About Bernard Fabrice
Bonjour! I'm Bernard Fabrice, an experienced Industrial Automation Engineer with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and over 10 years of hands-on industry experience.
Currently serving as Head of Research and Development, I've worked with leading companies including Merck and Siemens, developing cutting-edge automation solutions.
My passion lies in bridging the gap between complex technical concepts and practical, real-world applications. Whether you're a student struggling with control theory, a professional looking to upskill in PLC programming, or an engineer preparing for Industry 4.0 challenges, I bring a unique combination of academic knowledge and industrial expertise to help you achieve your goals.
I speak English, French, and German making me accessible to a diverse range of students. My teaching approach is hands-on, practical, and tailored to your specific learning style and objectives. I believe in learning by doing – we'll work through real industrial examples, simulate actual automation scenarios, and build projects that you can showcase in your portfolio.

Fabrice's expertise in PLC programming is truly impressive. He has hands-on experience with multiple platforms including Siemens TIA Portal, CODESYS, and Beckhoff TwinCAT, and he doesn't just know the theory - he knows how to solve real industrial problems efficiently. I've seen him troubleshoot complex control systems and implement elegant solutions that others would have struggled with for days.
I had the pleasure of working alongside Fabrice on several automation projects, and I can confidently say he is one of the most skilled and knowledgeable engineers I've encountered in the field of industrial automation.
