Sonicu Poised for Growth by PTC's $6.5M Capital Investment

Greenfield, IN, Release: November 20, 2020. For Immediate Release

Sonicu and Protective Technologies Capital (PTC) announce a $6.5M commitment of capital to accelerate Sonicu's growth and expansion plans. Founded in 2008, Sonicu is an Internet of Things (IoT) technology company and a leading provider of remote wireless monitoring solutions.

Sonicu has grown to serve a broad range of industries including; healthcare, life sciences, pharmaceutical, lean manufacturing, food safety, and industrial applications. Their web-based, SoniCloud software platform provides simplified implementation and scalability for enterprise customers, advanced asset protection, and streamlined regulatory compliance.

The SoniCloud platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services and utilizes wireless sensors that monitor sound, room pressure, room conditions, cold-chain temperatures, -80 freezers, ultra-low/cryogenic temperatures, ambient room temperature and humidity, and IoT applications. Sonicu sensors transmit data securely via available 4G/5G LTE, WiFi, and/or Ethernet. Users securely access SoniCloud from any web-enabled device for remote access and visibility from anywhere 24/7.

Sonicu's system commonly replaces inadequate, labor intensive manual data logging and legacy data logging/monitoring systems, while complementing existing building management systems found in larger facilities to provide a significant ROI and cost savings. Sonicu's best in class alarm handling architecture combined with built-in redundancy of data transmission, storage, and power, make the Sonicu system the most powerful asset protection and compliance platform available.

Regarding the investment, Sonicu CEO Nick Tuttle adds his perspective: “I am extremely excited and humbled to have PTC partner with Sonicu. Their sizable investment will allow us to immediately hire software and hardware engineers and accelerate our expansion, as we continue to provide cutting-edge monitoring technology to all current and future customers. PTC's investment validates all the hard work our executive team and employees have put into Sonicu over the years. I am looking forward to a bright future with significant next steps for Sonicu.”

Tim Fries, Co-Founder of PTC shares: “We are a unique and different type of investment firm. We partner with high-performing, high-potential sensing, protection and control businesses by offering resources and experience to navigate change and accelerate growth. Sonicu meets our investment criteria perfectly and we plan on helping the management team accomplish its growth and productivity goals.”

Dennis Karr, Co-Founder of PTC, adds: “Protective Technologies Capital was founded with vision of partnering with businesses exactly like Sonicu. We have the flexibility to meet the needs of business owners considering an outside capital partner and we are resolutely committed to upholding our core values.”

This transaction is effective Friday, November 20, and leaves the entire executive team of Nick Tuttle (CEO), Jason Young (CTO), Joe Mundell (CRO), and Clay Hopf (CFO) in place.

Sonicu keeping it fresh with Dr. Dre

6/7/2016

CULVER CITY, Cal. – What’s the fusion of a world-class chef, an Indiana wireless temperature monitoring company and a rapper/record producer/media mogul/entrepreneur from a little town called Compton?

Food service with an attitude that’s never left ignored. Sonicu wireless temperature sensors monitor Wolfgang Puck Catering at beats by dr. dre campus.

When Beats by Dre, the music software and hardware company built by Andre Rommelle Young (aka Dr. Dre), moved into its new $39 million, 105,000-square-foot Culver City campus, someone had to feed the 600 or so employees and corporate guests that work and visit the crib on a daily basis.

Solid headphones do little to drown out a rumbling stomach.

Enter Wolfgang Puck and his catering division, which also happens to provide transcendent eats for places like the Georgia Aquarium, Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art and Universal Studios Hollywood, to keep The Doctor and his Beats crew nourished. Sonicu wireless temperature sensors monitor Wolfgang Puck Catering at beats by dr. dre campus.

The sensors constantly monitor, measure and log Puck’s refrigerator temperatures, ensuring all is fresh, tasty and everything the Good Doctor could ask for.

Sonicu’s wireless temperature monitoring makes it easy for Dre to comply with health department regulations, especially reporting requirements. All the Doctor has to do is push a button to download a fully archived report.

Not that he, personally, knows where the button is. There was a small buyout deal with Apple to negotiate, but that prescription is fairly straightforward for the Doc: Fork over a quadrillion bucks and call me in the morning.

GREENFIELD, Ind. – Hancock Regional Hospital, a regional, full-service hospital based in Greenfield, Ind., has signed a system-wide enterprise license with Sonicu that allows HRH to consolidate its existing Sonicu monitoring platforms under one agreement. 

Though HRH has been using Sonicu’s automated monitoring, logging, SMART alarming and Advanced Management Tools in a variety of departments and applications, the new agreement allows the hospital to to leverage opportunities of scale for further expansion and hardware purchasing.

Sonicu currently monitors temperature and humidity at Hancock Surgery Center, in refrigerators and cold storage units throughout the hospital, including the hospital pharmacy and new Sue Ann Wortman Cancer Care Center, and vaccine storage units at Hancock Physician Network off-site clinics.

Sonicu also monitors MRI/imaging department power supplies at Hancock Health Center in McCordsville and will soon expand to monitor sound in hospital patient areas.

By automatically sending data to a cloud-based software platform, HRH can reclaim hours of employee time previously spent on manual hand monitoring and logging and view data in real time or in customizable reports.

“It becomes a challenge for hospitals when staff has to make rounds to log temperatures,” said Sonicu Vice President of Sales Joe Mundell. “This allows staff to focus on patient safety and satisfaction.”

Hancock Regional Hospital joins Hendricks Regional Health as the second Suburban Health organization to sign an enterprise-wide agreement with Sonicu.

1/20/2016

Hendricks Regional Health uses Sonicu system-wide wireless sound and temperature monitoring.DANVILLE, Ind. – Sonicu, an industry leader in the wireless temperature monitoring systems and cloud-based software, has been chosen by Hendricks Regional Health to provide a system-wide environmental monitoring system to increase patient safety and satisfaction. 

Sonicu will install wireless sensor technology at 700 points within the Hendricks health system, including remote outpatient facilities and clinics, to monitor and measure temperature, air pressure differential, and humidity in a variety of health care applications. The system will also monitor sound levels in multiple patient care areas.

Sonicu sensors will remotely monitor hundreds of refrigeration units; pharmacy, food service and dining applications; and sound levels utilizing a cellular network to transmit the data to Sonicu’s cloud-based software platform. The system will provide 24/7/365 SMART alarming and data access in a fully scalable format that will eliminate manual data logging at all monitored points.

“Hendricks is a very innovative, forward-thinking hospital that is concerned with patient safety as well as operational excellence,” said Joe Mundell, Sonicu vice president of sales. “Instead of taking a piecemeal approach, they wanted to look at a system-wide process for automated monitoring.”

In addition to Sonicu’s remote wireless sensors and cloud-based data platform, the cellular network Sonicu employs to mesh data from Hendricks’ outlying campuses and facilities also made Sonicu the right choice.

“By deploying everything through a cellular gateway, we are able to stay completely off of their network, erasing all security issues and eliminating additional work for their IT personnel,” Mundell said.

Hendricks officials said effectiveness and efficiency drove the decision to Sonicu’s system.

“Our impetus in doing this was to take a look at our efficiencies,” said Martha Rardin, Hendricks Regional Health director of nutrition and dietetics. “How could we streamline our processes so that we could further focus on service delivery and the overall patient and guest experience?”

The company plans to begin implementing the system in February, Mundell said.
