From oil sample to verdict in minutes.
On your own bench.
VeroOCM is the oil condition monitoring platform for on-site oil analysis: eight VeroSci at-line analyzers on one system, live test runs from the instrument, ASTM-method results with QC behind every number, and asset ratings that name the rule, the value, and the recommended action.
No mail-in lab. No waiting weeks.

01THE PROBLEM
The mail-in loop is broken
Used-oil analysis has a latency problem, a pricing problem, and an alarm problem — and they compound.
3–7 d
in transit before the lab sees it
24–72 h
lab turnaround, after transit
84%
of assets in severe alarm in one published program
30–50%
ASTM D2272 reproducibility between labs — 18–33% within one
Degradation tests (RPVOT, foam, oxidation) are $30–150 exception add-ons — ordered one-off, so nobody holds them as a time series.
Statistical alarm limits need history — the leading bench platform will not compute them below 80 samples per component type. Decades at quarterly mail-in cadence.
So programs run static defaults — in one published program ~84% of assets sat in severe alarm, against the ~20% practitioners call manageable.
3–7 d in transit, then 24–72 h in the lab — longer when bottles wait for a shipment

02THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE
We own the instrument and the software
Eight at-line analyzers, ten ASTM methods and four practices, one shared device agent, one oil analysis software platform. The instrument itself streams the run, writes its own certificate, monitors its own health, and joins a managed fleet in under ten minutes.
operator time + consumables
The exception slate becomes a weekly series — not a one-off order.

09COMPETITION
The slot we occupy is empty
Everyone else touches the sample. We touch the instrument. On-site oil condition monitoring with ASTM-grade results in minutes is a category with one incumbent — and we beat it on architecture, QC transparency, and openness.
● published ◐ partial ○ not published ✕ architecturally absent — not applicable
Public vendor documentation only, checked Aug 2026 — contradictory reseller pages excluded.
days → minutes
Send-away stacks 3–7 days of transit onto a 24–72 h lab turnaround. The bench answers inside the shift.
Transit: Oil Analyzers Inc. FAQ · lab turnaround and 24 h dispatch guidance: Noria / Machinery Lubrication. No end-to-end draw-to-result study is published.
84% → ~20%
Assets in severe alarm under default limits in one published program, against the ~20% practitioners call manageable.
Williams, Walsh & Garvey (Ametek Spectro Scientific), Precision Lubrication — one example program and a practitioner rule of thumb, not a standard. ASTM D7720 sets no ceiling.
30–50% → 18–33%
RPVOT reproducibility between labs against repeatability within one. Staying on one bench keeps you on the tighter term — 1.7× by the standard’s own equations, not 5×.
ASTM D2272-22 §12.3 — r = 0.053·X^1.23, R = 0.09·X^1.23, evaluated over 200–2,000 min. Specialists report 30–50% in practice; one round robin at 39% (Fluitec, 2010).
10DEPLOYMENT & OPENNESS
Open by design. Deployed your way.
Closed vendor worlds on one side. Browser, open egress, and a flat per-lab license on the other.
Windows desktop apps and LAN-bound middleware
Hard device caps; media-pack onboarding
Exports capped; intelligence paywalled by tier
History held by the lab or lubricant contract
Browser + mobile anywhere; zero Windows footprint.
Open egress: REST, CSV, schema-published JSON exports, scheduled SFTP drops, one CMMS webhook.
Brand-neutral — not tied to a lubricant supplier or a lab contract; your history is yours and exportable.
Cloud today, self-hosted next — sovereignty without giving up the analytics.
Licensing principle: flat per lab — never per instrument, never per adapter, no device cap.

WHY WE WIN
Glass-box oil condition monitoring.
Every alarm names its rule. Every forecast ships a confidence band. Where the data can’t support a number, the screen says so.
Honest boundary: in a published plant assessment, oil analysis and vibration agreed only 27% of the time — we are the orthogonal channel, not a vibration replacement.
AI posture: analytics are physics-grounded and validated; commentary is drafted — an analyst signs.
Ask them for their model’s validation report. Then ask us.
