Industrial Gas Automation:
Tendo IIoT Applications
In addition to providing industrial gas suppliers with an unprecedented opportunity to automate and optimize inventory management across the value chain, Tendo delivers value for a wide range of other industries.
Select an industry from the list to see how Tendo is reimagining industrial gas for your specific application.
Restaurants, Retail & Bars
Fountain and draft beverages provide a consistent source of high-margin sales in retail gas stations, fast-casual dining, and restaurants and bars of all sizes. Profit margins can range from 40% to 70% on each beverage sold. In an industry where margins on most products are often razor-thin, maximizing this revenue stream is critical. Tendo ensures that your gases are always stocked appropriately to meet consumer demand.Welding & Metal Fabrication
Existing technologies lack the ability to proactively manage industrial gas usage during welding and fabrication in a cost-effective way. As a result, welders don’t uncover if their gas consumption during production was inaccurate for the application until after they’ve already completed their work, risking the quality of the output and inventory waste. Tendo provides the industry’s first and only cost-effective solution for maintaining consistent production integrity.Food & Beverage Production
Tendo solves some of the most universal challenges facing food & beverage producers. Whether you’re using gas during packaging, fermentation, carbonation and/or freezing, Tendo will help you unlock greater operational efficiencies, revenue capture and profits.Automotive Manufacturing
Whether you’re welding, cutting metal, heat treating, painting or performing quality control, industrial gas plays a huge role in your automotive manufacturing processes. Tendo manages your permanent, liquified and mixed gas inventory with a completely digitally integrated solution. We prevent you from running out of critical gases and the associated disruptions to production.Biofuels, Wind Turbines & Fuel Cells
Unlike existing solutions, Tendo is a completely non-invasive way of measuring gas levels in cylinders. This makes it incredibly safe for measuring high-risk gases like hydrogen, but it also works with all other permanent, liquified and mixed gases, such as nitrogen, helium, ammonia, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide. Whether you’re using industrial gases in chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, etching, or in the production and assembly of fuel cells, Tendo will give you line-of-sight into fill levels across all gases in your fixed and in-transit inventory.Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology
Industrial gas plays a huge role in the effective development of new drug treatments and therapies. Whether they are being used for chemical synthesis during the production process, for gas chromatography during quality control, or during cryogenic storage – there is a wide range of permanent and liquified gases used during critical processes.Electronics & Semiconductors
Electronics and semiconductor manufacturers rely on industrial gas for critical production processes – such as etching and chemical vapor deposition – as well as during quality control, safety and environmental protection, and managing temperature and pressure controls. Tendo ensures these processes run smoothly and without disruption.Healthcare, Veterinary & Dentistry
There is nothing more important than the life-saving and enhancing work done by medical professionals. Whether that means providing oxygen to a patient, performing emergency surgery, safely completing a veterinary procedure, or providing a dental cleaning – when lives and patient care are on the line, Tendo ensures you never run out of medical gas.Tendo precisely monitors and adjusts gas levels in real-time. This ensures a perfectly carbonated beverage every time, mitigating product waste through superior quality assurance and customer satisfaction.
It also maximizes product sales from draft beer and fountain drinks, operational efficiency and supplies management.
Tendo optimizes gas usage in preservation systems, extending the freshness of perishable items and maximizing profits.
Maintain consistent kitchen performance by monitoring gas levels in cooking equipment, reducing downtime and ensuring continuous service during peak demand.
Designed specifically to enable the welding and metal fabrication use case.
Ensures the correct gas balance during the welding process, protecting product integrity, minimizing inventory waste and enhancing efficiency.
Prevents the unexpected depletion of gas inventory, mitigating production down-time, maximizing production efficiency and driving higher profits.
Tendo delivers an integrated digital solution to manage all permanent, liquified and mixed gases – no need for different pressure gauges or scales that require ongoing manual calibration.
Maintain perfect carbonation with real-time gas monitoring, ensuring high customer satisfaction with accurate CO2 mixing.
Optimize gas inventory management, minimizing overstocking while simultaneously ensuring consistent production runs.
Virtually eliminate the risk of stockouts and associated high-rush fees.
Track the fill level of all your industrial gases, in real time, to prevent the unexpected depletion of critical gas inventory.
Mitigate costly production downtime when gas inventory runs out unexpectedly.
Minimize safety risks with a small, non-intrusive digital sensor, which doesn’t require ongoing calibration and provides early leak detection.
Solve for scale with a cost-effective and simple-to-install digital solution that works across in-transit and fixed inventory.
The external placement of a sensor on each gas cylinder prevents contamination and reduces the safety risk to employees handling gases.
The non-intrusive design is agnostic to pressure constraints and can be easily used in high-pressure applications.
Real-time monitoring protects expensive gases from unknown leaks, minimizing inventory waste and mitigating associated safety risks.
Dynamic inventory management ensures you never run out of the gases you need during production, eliminating costly downtime. You’ll always know exactly how much gas you have in every cylinder, whether those cylinders are fixed or in-transit.
Tendo delivers precise gas control, eliminating the need for manual checkpoints and reducing the risk of manifold failures. This ensures cell cultures are protected and optimal incubator environments are maintained.
Streamline operations and reduce overhead associated with extra gas stock.
Optimize gas used in biotech labs, safeguarding sensitive cells and processes.
Eliminate manual gas level monitoring in labs and mitigates research interruptions that result from unexpected, depleted inventory.
Tendo's non-intrusive sensor is ideal for semiconductor manufacturing as it safely monitors corrosive and dangerous gases without direct contact, reducing the risk of leaks and contamination while ensuring accurate, reliable data in highly sensitive environments.
Real-time monitoring protects expensive gases from unknown leaks, minimizing inventory waste and mitigating many gas-handling safety risks.
Mitigate production downtime due to unexpected inventory depletion.
Seamlessly and accurately manage gas usage and inventory levels across multiple worksites, laboratories and manufacturing facilities.
