Safety Monitoring Solution for Vehicle Gas Cylinders
Applications and Cases
Key Takeaways
With rising demand for clean fuels like hydrogen and natural gas, gas cylinders are widely used, making refueling-station safety supervision critical. InHand’s remote monitoring solution, powered by the EC942 AI Edge Computer, enables real-time monitoring to help prevent accidents.
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.

Solution
InHand Networks provides an advanced safety monitoring solution for vehicle gas cylinders, enabling visualized management of gas refueling processes.
This comprehensive system features the EC942 AI edge computer, a license plate recognition system, video surveillance, a LoRa information broadcasting system, a switch, and a cloud-based big data platform. The EC942 AI edge computer collects license plate data and oversees the refueling process by leveraging proprietary protocols to upload information to the cloud.
If the license plate matches and the cylinder meets safety regulations, the system confirms successful refueling. If not, it automatically captures video of the process, stores the data locally, and transmits it securely to the cloud.
