Gas cylinder enables people enjoy great convenience of energy transporting and consuming. Millions of metallic gas cylinders are on the way to the gas station and the customers every day. It has a lot of work to do to identify and track such a huge quantity of gas cylinders, especially for the energy provide company, a high effective manage method and system for the gas cylinders can help the energy company well controlled their cost, gain more profit.
RFID technology is a highly rewarding solution for gas cylinder identifying and tracking. Each RFID chip features on a unique ID inside, which enables the RFID chip a irreplaceable tag to tagging on the gas cylinder to identify it. With the help of the specified RFID reader, the employees of the energy company can identify and track someone’s gas cylinder among the warehouse. And a RFID manage system can also record the gas fulled times, date, frequency and more information related to the customer’s consumption habits. These information plays an important to help the energy company to make the plan for producing and promoting.
What does the RFID tag for the gas cylinder look like?
The RFID tag must be anti-metal designed to work on the metal cylinder surface, and also waterproof, dirt-proof. We make a ABS housing to prevent the RFID chip from water and dirt, and wave-absorbing material inside the housing to enable the RFID tag can work even it is inset the metal cylinder. NXP MIFARE and NTAG series of transponders are available as the core of this RFID tag, our in stock type RFID tag has a MIFARE Classic EV1 1K (S50) or a FUDAN F08 chip inside, it has a EEFORM of 1024 bytes for data encrypting and encode. A unique ID for people to identify and track. Works in 13.56 mhz band, widely compatible with Android and iOS NFC enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, PDA.

How can we tag the RFID chip on the gas cylinder?
For the safety and stable of the metal construction of the gas cylinder, we do not suggest to fix it on the surface of the gas container. Each gas cylinder has a valve switch in it, we have customized a new air valve that has a specialized grooves to put a RFID tag in. This perfect idea not only keeps the cylinder body complete, but also protects the RFID tag from squeezing and falling in transit. The whole RFID tag is inset into the valve, only the top face to us, which has a enough space to laser or print a logo, QR Code, numbers or text, ASCEND IoT offers flexible personal customization for the content.
How can we identify and track the gas cylinder via the RFID tag?
We encode the RFID valve tag to encrypt the data inside the chip, associate with the UID, the RFID management system can verify the owner information, so that the traceability of the gas cylinder can be achieved. So it means a RFID software system is quite necessary, and the RFID reader is also important to scan the RFID valve tag.
