Filter element sensor module having processing and wireless communication capablilities

[0027]It will be appreciated by those having skill in the area of internal combustion engines, vehicles, both for transportation as well as equipment, harvesting, motors, etc. that proper filtration of lubricants as well as air can increase the life of particular motor greatly by reducing dust buildup and other contaminants from interfering with the operation of the machinery or vehicle. Further, a massive amount of time and productivity can be lost when a particular machine or motor fails or is merely down for maintenance during fluid and filter element changes. As such contemplated herein is a system which allows for real-time monitoring of filter media status using a wireless filter element sensor module configured to collect data regarding one or more particular filter elements, and transmit that data for analyzation which can aid in proper timing, predicting, and scheduling of required filter maintenance.

[0028]As such, contemplated herein is a wireless filter element sensor module
