Find out how Bridgemeter's predictive monitoring revolutionizes gas cylinders management, reducing costs, optimizing routes and increasing safety.
Imagine a restaurant at the height of a Saturday night, with customers looking forward to cold drinks and impeccable dishes. Suddenly, at a critical moment, the cylinders of the cylinders that brands the drinks ends, compromising the experience and frustrating customers. Situations like this are not rare, and in sectors such as pharmacist and hospital, the lack of essential gases can cause severe damage, critical interruptions and even put lives at risk.
These problems affect various segments, such as bars, restaurants, food and pharmaceutical industries, laboratories and even fire fighting systems, where the absence of indispensable gases compromises vital operations.
It is in this scenario that Above-Net Bridgemeter solution , positions itself as a strategic ally. Bridgemeter's predictive approach allows us to monitor and manage gas cylinders intelligently, dramatically reducing the risk of shortages, reducing logistics costs, increasing safety and promoting operational and economic efficiency.
The applications of the cylinders of gas centers
Gas cylinders play an indispensable role in various sectors. In bars and restaurants, CO₂ is essential for gasified drinks, an element that raises the customer experience. In food industry, gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide (CO2) guarantee the preservation of food and help the refrigeration process. In the hospital and pharmaceutical sector, oxygen and other gases are vital for both patients and laboratory processes. In fixed fire fighting systems, CO₂ cylinders provide rapid and efficient fires extinction in critical areas.
The absence of these gases, in any application, compromises operations, generates serious risks, increases the logistics cost and causes significant damage, with direct impact on the end client and the performance of companies.
The risks and problems of the lack of supply
Operations that depend on gas cylinders face serious consequences in the event of interruptions. In bars and restaurants, the lack of CO₂ can result in the interruption of the beverage service, damaging the customer experience and compromising their trust. In food industry, the absence of essential gases interrupts production processes, compromising product quality and safety. In hospitals, the unavailability of various gases puts lives and procedures at risk, while in fire fighting systems, the absence of CO₂ can lead to fire control failure in critical areas, with potentially devastating consequences.
Therefore, efficient and accurate management of gas levels is crucial to avoid these catastrophic scenarios. However, traditional manual monitoring and recharge methods have been ineffective to meet current demands.
Marina Santos, manager of a large hospital , points out: “In our sector, there is no room for supply errors. A failure put lives at risk. It is a responsibility that we cannot neglect. ”
The ineffectiveness of traditional replenishment
The conventional refueling of gas cylinders, usually based on customer calls or fixed schedule of visits with manual inspections, has significant limitations that compromise the efficiency and reliability of the operation.
- Lack of real stock visibility: Without continuous follow -up, gas levels are inaccurately evaluated, which can generate waste or, in more severe situations, critical failures for lack of gas at essential times.
- Unnecessary visits and inefficient logistics: The absence of predictive monitoring leads to frequent visits based on historical consumer estimates, raising operating, logistics and personnel costs, and generating avoidable environmental impacts.
- Unnecessary increase in customer inventory: To circumvent logistics failures, many customers use the number of stocked cylinders. This palliative solution demands more space, increases storage costs and can be dangerous, especially in the case of flammable gases, and often contradict safety standards.
- Human Errors and Demand Fluctuations: The forecast of recharge can fail due to unexpected forgetfulness or increases in consumption between inspections.
- Unidentified leaks: Without continuous monitoring, leaks can go unnoticed, resulting in financial losses and operational risks.
João Carvalho, owner of a restaurant chain, shares : “We have already lost important customers because we run out of Co₂. Manual monitoring cannot track the agility and demands of our business. ”
These challenges make it clear that, in order to meet the growing requirements of efficiency, reliability and economy, it is essential to adopt more advanced, automated and connected monitoring solutions capable of providing a safer, agile and sustainable operation.
Bridgemeter: the most reliable solution for gas cylinder management
Aware of the needs and particularities of each sector, Above-Net has created Bridgemeter, a predictive and intelligent monitoring solution that redefines traditional gas cylinders management. Bridgemeter performs intelligent real -time monitoring of cylinder gas levels, with the flexibility to adapt to the specific needs of each sector and application, ensuring unparalleled efficiency and reliability.
How does Bridgemeter work?
Bridgemeter offers precise measurements of cylinder gas levels, monitoring level variations, tann pressure, network and consumer standards. Data are transmitted in real time to custom dashboards, allowing to track cylinder status, identify changes in consumption, detect leaks and calculate autonomy in a dynamic way. Bridgemeter generates daily or on demand a list of locations in order of priority where supply is needed.
This information enables intelligent logistics refueling planning, eliminating waste, optimizing resources, and ensuring more agile and reliable service.
In addition, from the perception of the eventual change of operational standards, the platform generates proactive alarms to the maintenance (or logistics) team about the problem, and how to address it with client installation tasks and documentation.
Bridgemeter Benefits for Gas Cylinder Management
With state -of -the -art industrial IoT technology, Bridgemeter offers a number of benefits that revolutionize gas cylinders management:
- Logistic cost reduction: Bridgemeter can eliminate up to 45% of unnecessary refueling visits, reducing travel spending, people and operating expenses. This economy allows gas distributors to resume resources to strategic areas, expanding their margin and efficiency.
- Predictive and real -time monitoring: Real -time reading and system intelligence ensures precise visibility of cylinder gas levels and dynamic autonomy calculation based on consumer history and recent standard changes. This functionality allows the adjustment of supply based on real demands, eliminates the risk of shortage and increases operational safety, especially in critical sectors such as hospital, pharmaceutical, industrial and food.
- Increased safety: leaks and other problems are detected from the behavior performed at operations intervals, reducing waste and mitigating risks to employees and the environment. In fire fighting systems, continuous monitoring ensures that cylinders are always ready for emergencies.
- Simplified Interoperability and Installation: Compatible with any market sensor, Bridgemeter easily integrates with existing customer systems. Fast installation, coupled with the SaaS model (solution as a service), eliminates the need for investments in expensive equipment.
- Intelligent Routing and Logistics Optimization: The solution automatically informs the coordinates of places with priority supply provisioning that in conjunction with any market routing system generates a periodic optimized route to supply the really necessary points
- Control and Analysis of Advanced Data: With complete dashboards and smart alerts sent directly to the smartphone, Bridgemeter enables managers to monitor consumption, predict demands and make strategic decisions based on predictive analysis. This prevents critical flaws and optimizes the operation.
