Industries relying on cryogenic gases, efficient monitoring and management of cryogenic tanks are critical for operational success. Traditional methods of monitoring these tanks involve manual data collection, which is often inconsistent, prone to errors, and inefficient. To address these challenges, Ogauge Cryolink introduces an innovative IIoT-based remote monitoring solution that ensures real-time tracking, data-driven decision-making, and enhanced operational efficiency.
The Challenges of Traditional Monitoring Methods
Cryogenic tanks are widely used for storing and transporting liquefied gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. However, monitoring these tanks manually presents several challenges:
- Inconsistent Data Collection: Manual readings are often skipped or recorded inaccurately, leading to unreliable data.
- High Operational Costs: Manual monitoring requires significant manpower, increasing costs.
- Risk of Emergency Situations: Without real-time monitoring, sudden depletion of gas levels can disrupt operations.
- Inefficient Asset Utilization: Inaccurate monitoring leads to underutilized production and storage assets.
- Lack of Predictive Insights: Historical data is often missing or difficult to analyze, preventing proactive decision-making.
