Welcome to the Vertical MRO Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS and in partnership with Vertical Magazine.
In this two-part series, Jon Gray sits down with experts in the health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS) segments.
These experts are Josh Kethan and Ronnie Ries from GPMS. We will explore how HUMS technology is revolutionizing the maintenance industry and is improving helicopter flight safety.
This conversation was recorded shortly after Verticon, kicking off with a discussion on the value of attending industry conferences.
We delve into the inaugural Vertical MRO Conference, dedicated specifically to the MRO community. This exciting event will take place from Oct. 7 to 9 at the KF Centre for Excellence in Kelowna, British Columbia, and again from Nov. 10 to 12 at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas.
During the conversation, Josh provides an interesting overview of his career where he spent time as a maintainer in the challenging offshore environment.
He talks about the transition from offshore work to air medical services, and how his ‘do-hard-things’ mindset has shaped his experiences and opportunities within the MRO community.
Josh and Ronnie highlight the latest advancements in HUMS technology, the significance of data analytics in maintenance, and the exciting potential of condition-based maintenance to transform aviation practices.
Together, we’ll review real-world applications and success stories, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to maintenance decisions, and the advantages of adopting innovative technologies in aviation.
