Industrial automation · Abu Dhabi

Machines that
keep running.

I keep heavy machines running across the Gulf, in ports, offshore, mines and factories. I also build the simulators and software that help your team run them.

What I bring
to your team.

Breakdowns

Less downtime.

When a machine stops, I find the fault fast: PLC, drive, sensor or wiring. On site, or remotely when I can't get there.

14 years on cranes, mining machines and production lines.

Upgrades

Old machines, new brains.

I move ageing controls to current Siemens systems with short, planned shutdowns, so the machine comes back better than it left.

Commissioning

New machines, handed over right.

From delivery to the first run: testing, punch list and handover, with the paperwork done.

Harbour cranes, offshore lifting units and a mining excavator.

Training

Teams that practise first.

Operators, technicians and engineers rehearse on realistic simulators, where a mistake costs nothing.

Cranes, engines, transmissions and hydraulics. Try them below.

Business

Service that pays its way.

I price the job, lead the team, deliver on time and make sure the invoice gets paid.

Full cycle owned, from tender to collection.

Software

Tools in days, not months.

I use AI to build what a business needs: ERP systems, dashboards, web and mobile apps.

Company ERP from enquiry to invoice, in daily use.

Simulation Lab

Learn on the twin.
Not on the real machine.

Cranes, a wheel loader, a bucket-wheel reclaimer, engines, transmissions, hydraulics and a whole AI datacenter, built to real numbers. Open one in your browser. No install.

Safer

Practise risky lifts and faults with no risk to people or equipment.

Faster to learn

New staff see inside the machine and learn how it works before their first day on site.

Ready for rare faults

Rehearse the breakdowns you hope never happen, so the team knows exactly what to do.

Start with the real machine.

A transmission on its test bench, with the drive motor, cooler and control panel, built to real dimensions.

Open it up.

Take the casing off and every clutch pack, gear and shaft keeps moving, so people see how it really works.

New · Bucket-wheel reclaimer

Dig, slew, reclaim.

A rail-mounted stacker-reclaimer working an iron-ore stockyard. The wheel carves the pile as it digs, the belts carry the ore away, and the operator panel raises real alarms when you inject a fault. Day or night, in your browser.

AI datacenter twin

From the grid to the GPU.

A full AI campus, from the substation to one compute blade. Power arrives at 132 kV, becomes 800 V DC and leaves as heat through a 45 °C water loop. Rendered in Blender, built to published figures.

  • 144GPU packages per rack
  • 600 kWrack design target
  • 800 V DCpower to the rack
  • 45 °Ccoolant, no chillers most of the year

How a job goes with me.

  1. Step 1

    Listen and survey

    I see the machine and hear what a stop costs you.

  2. Step 2

    Plan and price

    A clear scope, a fixed plan and a price you can approve.

  3. Step 3

    Fix, upgrade or commission

    The work done safely, with progress you can see each day.

  4. Step 4

    Hand over and train

    Documents, a spares list and a team that knows the machine.

About me.

I'm Hossam Ahmed Amir, a mechatronics engineer from Egypt, based in Abu Dhabi. I started on factory floors in 2011, moved to port equipment, and since 2018 I've led automation, commissioning and service work across the Gulf.

I like the hard problems: a machine that won't start, a control system older than the operator, a team that has to learn fast. Lately I also build the tools that make those problems smaller.
