Gas cylinder tracking that helps you refill on time

Smart gas cylinders that report on themselves

A Smart Container device turns each cylinder into one live record: where it is, how it is moving, how full it is and the conditions it has been through. Fill level comes from patented fill-level sensing, the same technology that reads how much beer is left inside a sealed keg. Location comes from multi-source positioning, from your filling plant to depots, vehicles and customer sites and back. There is nothing to scan and no infrastructure at any site.

Refill customers before they run out

When you can see a cylinder's fill level falling, you can plan the replacement before the customer is empty, instead of waiting for an urgent call. Fewer run-outs mean fewer missed refills, fewer emergency deliveries and customers who keep buying from you.

LPG cylinder fill level monitoring

For LPG and other liquefied gases, daily fill level shows how fast each customer is using gas. Sales and distribution teams can see which accounts need a delivery now, which are quiet and where demand is growing, and plan routes and filling around what customers are actually using.

Turn every cylinder faster

A cylinder earns nothing while it sits. Cylinder tracking shows how long each cylinder waits at every stop, full or empty, at a depot or a customer site. Bring idle cylinders back into the cycle sooner, so the same fleet delivers more gas without buying cylinders to cover blind spots.

Less time counting, fewer wasted runs

Collect cylinders when they are actually empty and send drivers where the cylinders are. Nobody has to count cylinders by hand or chase customers to find out what they hold, and balances can be checked against what each customer really has.

What it gives your fleet

• One device per cylinder, fitted once and travelling with it through filling, delivery and return
• Patented fill-level sensing, calibrated to your cylinder sizes, gases and fittings
• Location by multi-source positioning
• Temperature and movement
• Multi-year battery
• Nothing to scan and no infrastructure at any site, including customer sites
• Protected by two granted UK patents

Proven on beer kegs, heading to gas cylinders next

Our devices are deployed on beer kegs with two of the world's three largest brewers and a leading UK cider maker. Kegs are one of the hardest returnable fleets to track, and they have proven the technology. Fill-level sensing for gas cylinders is where the technology is heading next: the same patented device and platform, calibrated to cylinder sizes, gases and fittings. If you own or distribute gas cylinders, register your interest now.

Frequently asked questions

What is gas cylinder tracking?

It means knowing where each cylinder is, how long it has been there and, with our device, how full it is, every day, without scanning it.

Can I use Smart Container cylinder tracking today?

Kegs are what we do today. Gas cylinders are where our technology is heading next. Register your interest and we will talk to you about your fleet.

How will cylinder fill level be measured?

With patented fill-level sensing, the technology that reads how much beer is left in sealed kegs today, calibrated to each fleet's cylinder sizes, gases and fittings.

Will I need scanners or readers at depots or customer sites?

No. Each device reports by itself, so there is nothing to scan and no infrastructure at any site.

Which cylinders will it fit?

We calibrate the device to the formats a fleet runs. Tell us your cylinder sizes, gases and fittings when you register your interest.

How long does the battery last?

The device has a multi-year battery.
