Ahead of the expo, our team members share insights on their roles, expectations, and what excites them most about INTERGEO 2025.
🇺🇸 Ren | Vice President of Omnidots North America
What does INTERGEO mean for Omnidots' growth in North America?
🎙️ INTERGEO is an opportunity for us to see what the rest of the world is up to in the monitoring market. In some ways, the European monitoring world is more mature than in North America, so it’s an excellent opportunity to learn and see where we might be headed.
What unique challenges do you see in the North American market that Omnidots helps to solve?
🎙️ One of the biggest challenges in NA is remote work locations. We're not yet at 100% cell coverage, so having the option to use wifi with satellite internet is opening up remote monitoring to sites which previously required manned monitoring.
What are you most excited to discuss with international visitors in Frankfurt?
🎙️ Well I’m really just a big nerd about vibration monitoring, so sharing project stories and better understanding European regulations are high on my list.
What’s one common misconception you’d like to clear up about environmental/vibration/sound monitoring?
🎙️ Many people think these services are just a box to check to satisfy a specification, but there is so much value in monitoring any project. By monitoring vibration/sound/dust you reduce liability, but also improve the perception of the project with the community surrounding it. This can save hours of time in complaint management, litigation, and stress which add real costs to a project.
How do you see monitoring technology evolving in the next 5 years?
🎙️ Remote monitoring has come a long way in the last decade, we’re now able to gather huge quantities of valuable data with far less effort. The challenge for the next 5 years is to make this data as valuable as possible. There is a huge potential here for AI to assist in looking for trends and correlations. However, with these advances the role of engineers will become even more critical to ground truth and verify the accuracy of these assessments.
