AIREON LLC Partners with Sunoco to Deliver Next-Gen Motor Oil Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance Solutions

McLean, VA – October 26, 2023 – AIREON LLC, a leading innovator in industrial IoT and predictive maintenance, today announced a strategic partnership with Sunoco Lubricants, a renowned name in high-performance motor oil. This collaboration brings together AIREON’s cutting-edge sensor technology and data analytics with Sunoco’s premium motor oil formulations, offering businesses a proactive approach to equipment health and maintenance, significantly reducing downtime and costs. Let’s face it, keeping machinery running smoothly is a huge headache for a lot of companies. Unexpected breakdowns aren’t just annoying – they’re expensive. And traditional oil analysis? It’s often slow, requires sending samples to a lab, and you're basically reacting after something's already starting to go wrong. AIREON is changing that. We're a team based right here in McLean, VA (you can find us at 8484 WESTPARK DRIVE, SUITE 300, 22102, or give us a call at 970-725-4900), and we specialize in hooking up machines with smart sensors. These sensors constantly monitor critical parameters – things like vibration, temperature, and, now, oil condition. That’s where Sunoco comes in. Everyone knows Sunoco. They’ve been making high-performance fuels and lubricants for over a century. Their motor oils aren't just about protecting engines; they're about maximizing performance. But even the best oil degrades over time. And knowing when that degradation is happening – and how quickly – is key. How it Works: Real-Time Oil Condition Monitoring AIREON’s system utilizes miniature, robust sensors that are installed directly on equipment. These sensors continuously monitor key oil characteristics, including: Viscosity: Basically, how thick the oil is. Changes in viscosity can indicate contamination or breakdown. Particle Count: Detects the presence of wear metals and other contaminants. Think of it like spotting tiny metal shavings in your oil – a sign of internal wear. Water Contamination: Water in your oil is bad. It leads to corrosion and reduces lubrication effectiveness. Oil Degradation (TAN/BN): Measures the level of oxidation and nitration, indicators of oil breakdown. This tells you how much life your oil really has left. This data is then transmitted wirelessly to AIREON’s secure cloud platform. Here’s where the real magic happens. AIREON’s proprietary algorithms analyze the data in real-time, identifying trends and anomalies. “We’re not just giving you data,” explains [Name & Title of AIREON Spokesperson]. “We’re giving you insights. Our system learns the normal operating parameters of your equipment, so it can accurately predict when oil is nearing the end of its useful life – or when a potential problem is developing.” Sunoco Motor Oil: The Foundation of Reliability The partnership leverages Sunoco's diverse range of motor oils, including: Sunoco Synthetic Motor Oil: Designed for high-performance engines and demanding applications, offering superior protection and extended drain intervals. Sunoco Conventional Motor Oil: A reliable and cost-effective option for everyday use. Sunoco High Mileage Motor Oil: Specifically formulated to protect older engines and address common issues like leaks and wear. Sunoco Diesel Motor Oil: Engineered to meet the unique demands of diesel engines, providing exceptional soot control and wear protection. “Sunoco is committed to delivering high-quality lubricants that maximize equipment performance and longevity,” says [Name & Title of Sunoco Spokesperson]. “AIREON’s technology allows us to take that commitment to the next level, providing customers with a proactive solution for managing their oil-related maintenance needs.” Benefits for Businesses The AIREON-Sunoco solution offers a range of benefits, including: Reduced Downtime: By predicting potential failures, you can schedule maintenance proactively, minimizing unexpected breakdowns. Lower Maintenance Costs: Optimize oil change intervals and avoid costly repairs. No more guessing when to change your oil – the system tells you. Extended Equipment Life: Early detection of wear and contamination can prevent major damage and extend the lifespan of your machinery. Improved Operational Efficiency: Maximize equipment uptime and productivity. Data-Driven Decision Making: Gain valuable insights into equipment health and performance. Remote Monitoring: Monitor equipment from anywhere with an internet connection. Real-World Applications This solution is ideal for a wide range of industries, including: Manufacturing: Monitoring critical machinery like pumps, compressors, and hydraulic systems. Transportation: Tracking the condition of engine oil in fleets of trucks, buses, and other vehicles. Construction: Monitoring heavy equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and cranes. Power Generation: Tracking the condition of turbines, generators, and other critical equipment. Oil & Gas: Monitoring compressors, pumps, and other equipment in challenging environments.
