Here are some interesting questions we have presented him with:

1. How did you discover vibration analysis and what made you want to get into it?

I started my career in non-destructive testing (NDT) because of its crucial role in ensuring the safety and longevity of structures and equipment. I discovered vibration analysis while collaborating on projects requiring real-time equipment health monitoring. It intrigued me because it provides deep insights into machinery performance, identifying issues before they become major problems. The predictive power of vibration analysis allows for proactive maintenance, minimizes downtime, and supports asset longevity. By expanding my skills, I’ve been able to offer a more comprehensive approach to equipment health monitoring.

2. What do you like most about your work at HD Technical Services? The thing I like most about my work at HD Technical Services is the ability to make a tangible impact on our clients’ operations. By identifying potential issues early, clients can avoid costly repairs, reduce downtime, and maintain safe, efficient operations. This field combines technical skills with problem-solving, bringing new challenges and learning opportunities. The collaborative environment at HD Technical Services is fantastic, surrounded by knowledgeable professionals committed to quality and innovation.

3. How has predictive maintenance evolved in Iceland? Is it sufficiently established? Predictive maintenance in Iceland has progressed significantly, though it’s still developing. Many industries are shifting from reactive or scheduled maintenance to predictive approaches, recognizing the benefits of IoT, AI, and machine learning. It’s particularly valuable in managing critical assets in sustainable energy sectors, given Iceland’s harsh environmental conditions. While awareness and adoption are growing, there’s still room for expansion. Companies are investing in specialized equipment and software, but widespread implementation requires ongoing training, infrastructure, and local expertise.

4. Which TWave T8 tool do you find most useful in your daily work? The TWave T8 has a range of tools, but if I had to pick the most useful one in my daily work, it would likely be the real-time vibration monitoring and diagnostic tool. It allows early detection of potential issues, providing invaluable insights into machinery health and performance. Real-time monitoring optimizes maintenance planning, while data visualization and trend analysis capabilities are essential for creating clear, actionable reports.
