About me
I'm Jose Manuel Luque, I live in Barcelona and I'm the founder of PLC-HMI-SCADAS. My professional career has taken me through several fields within the industry, but I've now spent over 14 years immersed in the world of industrial automation. It's what I'm passionate about.
I'm completely passionate about systems. I love digging into the details, understanding how things work on the inside, and getting to the bottom of every subject I take on. Whether it's a PLC, a SCADA system, a communication protocol or a full integration project — if there's more to understand, that's where I'll be.
In July 2012 I decided to create this space to share what I was learning along the way. What started as a personal project has grown steadily over time, and I'm still here, day after day, because every day brings something new.
I firmly believe that working in harmony and with the right attitude is a privilege. Being able to contribute, share and keep learning alongside other professionals is something I value enormously. Here we are, fully committed to the cause.
