It’s Conversations with ICA — the series that turns industry knowledge and insights into actionable strategy.

Predictive maintenance is no longer just a buzzword – it’s a practical advantage for car wash operators. In this episode, David Meffe (with ICA Champion Partner OnLogic), Remus Pop (Concept Reply) and Luke Bame (Ascentek and Reliable Plus) dive into a new, hardware-enabled solution that puts real-time insights into the hands of any operator, regardless of OEM brand.

Building a Manufacturer-Agnostic Solution
Luke describes how the partnership between Concept Reply, Reliable Plus, and OnLogic came to life. The goal? Open access to predictive insights for all car wash operators – not tied to any one equipment provider.

Hardware Built to Endure
Remus highlights how Concept Reply's design, paired with OnLogic’s rugged edge devices, meets the demands of harsh car wash environments.

Defining Industry 4.0 for Car Washes
Industry 4.0 is all about connected assets and actionable data. For operators, that means less downtime, lower liability and smarter decisions on the fly.

Strategic Value for Operators
The real win is what it delivers: higher uptime (up to 95%), predicting service needs, and a future of tailored wash recommendations for customers based on aggregated data.
