In this episode we bring together Remus Pop (Partner, Concept Reply), Luke Bame (Sr. Director, Ascentek and Reliable Plus), and David Meffe (SVP Sales, OnLogic) to discuss a powerful new solution redefining predictive maintenance in the car wash industry. Discover how next-generation technology is transforming the car wash experience.
This isn’t just another OEM tool—this is a manufacturer-agnostic, collaborative innovation designed to give operators more control, reduce downtime, and harness real-time data like never before.
Episode Highlights
• The Why Behind the Innovation
Luke lays the foundation for this partnership-driven solution, created to give all operators—not just those tied to one manufacturer—access to predictive insights.
• Hardware that Drives It
Remus explains how Concept Reply brought the solution to life and why OnLogic hardwarewas the right fit. Built for tough environments, their edge gateway enables remote access and avoids excessive cloud dependency.
• Technology Built for the Real World
David discusses the need for highly configurable tech that stands up to the heat, moisture, and vibration found in everyday car wash operations.
• Industry 4.0 in Action
Remus defines Industry 4.0 as “connecting assets within a factory and delivering them to the people who can act on them the fastest”—a critical function for car washes managing high traffic and tight margins.
• Why This Matters to Operators
The payoff: up to 95% more uptime, fewer surprises, lower liability, and reduced costs. Down the road, aggregated data may even personalize wash recommendations for each vehicle.
