Gas Cylinder Monitoring System (GCM)

Gas Cylinder Monitoring System (GCM)

The Gas Cylinder Monitoring System (GCM) is an innovative solution designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and compliance of gas storage and usage across various industries. Our GCMs allow users to seamlessly view and track important gas cylinder data such as gas type, blend, composition, expiration dates, lot numbers, etc., as well as optional real time pressure monitoring to know the exact supply on hand – all of which is accessible for viewing on the web or app via a cloud server. It provides advanced gas asset tracking and optional real-time monitoring of gas cylinder pressure/level through an intuitive graphical interface. With the capability to monitor one or more gas bottles simultaneously, it offers comprehensive visibility and control, further ensuring optimal management of gas assets. It can be equipped with QR code technology, allowing each bottle to be scanned to retrieve and record detailed information, which is automatically uploaded to a cloud-based server for easy access and analysis. The GCM simplifies operations, reduces risks associated with manual data entry, and improves the overall management of gas inventories, making it an essential tool for businesses aiming to streamline their gas handling processes.

Never Run Out of Gas Again

  • live tracking of gas assets via optional QR scanning system: gas blend / type / composition, expiration and installation dates, lot numbers, and more
  • optional pressure / level (gas supply) monitoring with visual indication on graphical display
  • alarm notifications when bottles are low via text, email, or optional LED light
  • transmit pressure readings to DCS, PLC, or building automation system via Modbus TCP
  • cost effective solution that eliminates manual operator rounds to check pressures
  • reduces costly emergency gas deliveries and critical analyzer shutdowns

Description

The Gas Cylinder Monitoring System (GCM), from Process Solutions Corp., is a simple yet sophisticated solution for monitoring and tracking gas assets. With cloud server integration, our GCMs can provide QR coding and read back for advanced documentation and gas cylinder tracking, real-time monitoring of the available gas supply in gas cylinders, alarms for low level alerts, and more. Implementing a GCM system streamlines gas data management and can eliminate the need for operator rounds to manually check gas supply. In doing so, our Gas Cylinder Monitoring Systems can improve compliance and safety while helping prevent critical process disruption and costly emergency gas deliveries – all at a fraction of the cost of traditional gas cylinder monitoring solutions.

  • scalable systems can monitor one critical gas cylinder or an entire fleet of gas assets
  • simplistic design for a gas cylinder tracking and monitoring solution that is easy to install and integrate
  • flexible design for a cost-effective solution that can include custom features or functions to meet specific user requirements
  • wired or wireless gas cylinder monitoring options

Cloud-Based Gas Cylinder Monitoring System

With Ethernet connectivity, our GCM systems can easily integrate via Modbus TCP with an existing DCS, PLC, or other control systems that use EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS/PROFINET, or numerous other Ethernet protocols. Furthermore, our Gas Cylinder Monitoring System can integrate to building automation systems (such as BACnet, LonWorks, etc.). Ethernet connectivity also enables access to critical information through a cloud-based, password protected portal. As a result, users can have 24/7, real-time view of gas bottle tacking information, fill status, current alarms, and more. To streamline record keeping processes, our GCMs can also store historical data and automatically upload information to a cloud service. Our cloud service options include Microsoft Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or even on your own server.

  • web access to gas cylinder documentation and/or real-time gas supply readings via cloud portal from Advait
  • use your own network/server or we can host the server for you
  • portal includes basic site maintenance and operational updates

Automated Gas Cylinder Tracking to Simplify Documentation

Our Gas Cylinder Monitoring System can include QR coding capabilities, which allows users to scan a QR code on the gas bottles. This enables operators to easily access critical technical information about each bottle such as gas or blend type, concentration, composition, fill dates, expiration dates, lot numbers, serial numbers, and other manufacturer information. As a result, users can know exactly what type(s) and how much gas is on-hand anywhere that web access is available.

  • enhances operational efficiency, safety, and compliance of gas usage and storage
  • QR coding system to provide easy access to important gas cylinder data such as gas type/composition, fill and expiration date, lot and serial number, etc.
  • automatically maintains historical records of gas usage and uploads data to the cloud-based server

Automated Gas Cylinder Monitor for Real-Time Supply

The Gas Cylinder Monitor can be equipped with real-time pressure/level monitoring capabilities via rugged, industrial quality pressure sensors. Its color touchscreen graphical interface visually displays pressure/supply of gas cylinders, whether a single, critical gas cylinder or a warehouse full of them. The graphical interface also provides low level alarms that will notify operators when supply is running low and needs reordering.

  • transmit pressure/supply readings of gas cylinders via Modbus TCP directly to DCS, PLC, or building automation system (e.g. LonWorks, BACnet)
  • user-friendly color touchscreen graphical interface that visually indicates real-time pressure/level in gas cylinders
  • remote monitoring with 24/7, real-time gas supply readings anywhere with web access
  • pressure accuracy: 0.25% BFSL
  • low level and timer-based alarms with notifications when supply is running low via text, email, etc.
  • eliminate operator rounds to manually check pressure/gas supply
  • prevent unnecessary down time and costly emergency gas delivery fees

Scalable Gas Bottle Monitor System

Our gas cylinder monitoring system is both flexible and expandable. From a simple GCM that monitors a single critical gas cylinder to an advanced GCM system that monitors a whole network of gas assets, we can integrate a Gas Cylinder Monitoring System that fits your exact requirements. To fit scaling requirements, our GCM interfaces can be panel mounted or we can even provide a tabletop graphical user interface.

In addition, we can program custom features or functions into our gas cylinder monitoring systems as specified by the user. Our electrical and programming engineers are happy to work directly with end-users to include any functions allowing a seamless and hassle-free experience. Whether a prebuilt GCM system or one that’s made custom-to-order, we assemble these Gas Cylinder Monitors in our in-house, ISO certified workshop.

How our Gas Cylinder Monitoring System Works

gas-cylinder-monitor-pressure-sensor-diagram-gcm-gas-bottle-monitoring-system-process-solutions-corp

In our Gas Cylinder Monitoring System, industrial pressure sensors constantly monitor the supply in gas cylinders. As gas depletes, the pressure/level thus the supply, decreases. Once hitting a user-defined low level alarm setpoint, the user interface will alert operators via text, email, or optional LED light that a gas bottle is running low. This allows operators, in effect, to know exactly when a gas bottle needs replacement. As a result, a GCM system helps users prevent critical process disruptions and avoid costly emergency gas deliveries.

The pressure sensors can install directly on the graphical interface of the GCM system, directly on the gas cylinder itself, or anywhere along the stainless steel tubing in between. Furthermore, our Gas Cylinder Monitoring systems feature a sturdy design that can install both indoors or outdoors.
