Safety Monitoring Solution for Vehicle Gas Cylinders
Effective safety supervision at gas cylinder refueling stations is vital for preventing accidents. InHand’s remote monitoring solution for vehicle gas cylinders leverages advanced digital technology to manage and record refueling processes, ensuring safe and reliable cylinder use. This AI edge computer-powered system provides real-time monitoring and integrated oversight of vehicles, cylinders, gas, stations, and personnel, significantly enhancing safety and efficiency.
Background
With the growing global demand for clean energy sources like hydrogen, natural gas, and liquefied gas, gas cylinders are becoming increasingly vital across industries. These cylinders deliver energy savings and economic benefits but also raise safety concerns, particularly at refueling stations.
Ensuring the safety of vehicle gas cylinders requires stringent regulations and monitoring throughout their lifecycle, including production, usage, and inspection. However, traditional methods relying on manual inspections and periodic maintenance often prove inefficient, prone to errors, and insufficient for real-time monitoring or predictive maintenance.
Customer Requirements
