Optimize Gas Supply Management with Linde’s STARVIEW™ Wireless Mini Cylinder Monitoring System

Apr 19, 2022

You rely on high pressure gas cylinders for critical applications in your healthcare or manufacturing facility, but business demands and multiple on-site locations can make it difficult to keep track of all your cylinders and their contents. This can result in runouts and process downtime, which can be disruptive and costly. Linde‘s STARVIEW™ system can help you break this cycle with real-time monitoring of cylinders in use and a data connection that provides online access to product levels and usage reports.

How It Works  Linde STARVIEW  Wireless Mini

The STARVIEW™ pressure transducer is a cylinder pressure monitoring device that attaches between your cylinder and regulator. The technology monitors in-use cylinder pressure and reports cylinder contents and usage via a wireless transmitter to the local cellular gateway. The STARVIEW cellular gateway then sends cylinder contents and usage information to the Linde Cloud Server, which delivers this critical information to users, as well as programmable alert notifications, by SMS texts, email, computer web portal or mobile app. 

With the STARVIEW remote cylinder monitoring system, cylinder and process management is simplified providing remote oversight of all of your equipped cylinder tanks. Its easy-to-use online interface and custom SMS text and email notifications help you avoid gas supply interruptions and product runouts, maximizing gas usage.

The STARVIEW Wireless Mini Cylinder Monitoring System

STARVIEW™ cylinder monitoring systems are available in four configurations, including the STARVIEW Wireless Mini Cylinder Monitoring System. Designed for indoor and outdoor environments, it is ideal for environments where there is a moderate amount of pressure points or cylinders contained in a small area. It is recommended for laboratories, healthcare facilities, manufacturing facilities, engine emission testing operations and other similar facilities.
