Safety Monitoring Solution for Vehicle Gas Cylinders
Effective safety supervision at gas cylinder refueling stations is crucial for preventing accidents. InHand Networks’ intelligent monitoring solution leverages digital technology to manage and record refueling processes, ensuring the safe use of cylinders. The system provides dynamic, integrated oversight of vehicles, cylinders, gas, stations, and personnel, significantly enhancing efficiency and safety.
Background
As global demand for clean energy such as hydrogen, natural gas, and liquefied gas continues to rise, gas cylinders are increasingly used in various industries. While these cylinders contribute to energy savings and economic benefits, accidents at refueling stations remain a concern.
Gas cylinders require strict regulations and oversight throughout their lifecycle, from production to usage and inspection. Traditional methods, which rely heavily on manual inspections and periodic maintenance, are often inefficient and prone to missed or inaccurate checks.
Customer Requirements
Real-time Monitoring
Monitor vehicle gas cylinder pressure, temperature, and liquid levels in real-time to identify potential safety risks.
Remote Management
Manage gas cylinders remotely via a cloud platform, reducing on-site intervention and improving efficiency.
Data Storage & Analysis
Store and analyze monitoring data long-term to identify trends and assist in maintenance and safety decisions.
Security
Ensure robust system security to prevent malware attacks and data breaches, ensuring the safety of monitoring data and system operations.
Multi-Network Connectivity
Provide reliable Internet access with multiple connectivity options, especially in remote locations.
Solution
InHand Networks offers an intelligent safety monitoring system for vehicle gas cylinders, providing visualized management of gas refueling processes.
This solution includes the EC942 AI Edge Computer, a license plate recognition system, video surveillance, a LoRa information broadcasting system, a switch, and a cloud big data platform. The EC942 collects license plate data and manages the refueling process by using proprietary protocols to upload information to the cloud platform. If the license plate matches and the cylinder complies with regulations, the system confirms successful refueling. If not, it triggers a video capture of the process and stores the data locally while sending it to the cloud.
Benefits
Flexible Development Environment
The EC942 runs a Debian 10 Linux distribution, supporting multiple programming languages (C/C++/Java/Python/.Net/JavaScript), allowing users to develop custom applications without limitations.
Powerful Storage & Expansion
With 4GB RAM, 16GB eMMC flash, and mSATA expansion support, the EC942 meets the high demands of video data storage and transmission at refueling stations.
Reliable Network Connectivity
Available with gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular networks, the EC942 ensures uninterrupted Internet access with redundant connections, overcoming the geographical challenges of remote locations.
High Security
Featuring Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, the EC942 protects against malware attacks, ensuring data security and stable system operation.
