The industrial gas industry has been burdened with the same vexing problem for decades: how to accurately measure the real-time fill level of all forms of gases in all types of cylinders – without spending a fortune on hardware and installation.  

A group of brilliant scientific minds from Princeton University tackled this problem. The result is the industrial gas market's first and only comprehensive Industrial Automation Technology (IIoT) solution.

The Science Behind the Solution

Tendo’s revolutionary solution is transformative because it solves this problem through advanced
physics, engineering and algorithms. We can identify what's in a cylinder and the associated fill level using resonance.

Your Solution to
IIoT at Scale 

Tendo's scientific ingenuity, combined with the latest advances in data processing and software development, delivers unprecedented business outcomes across the entire industrial gas value chain.  

Tendo unlocks industrial automation and inventory optimization at scale. Existing solutions only measure gas pressure OR weight and therefore can only be applied to portions of inventory. In contrast, Tendo’s solution works on all gases, cylinders and inventory types, and delivers that visibility in real time through integrated software. 

item1

Automates fill level measurement of all permanent, liquified and mixed gases without complex, ongoing calibration

item2

Can integrate data from the more than 2 billion cylinders in the global supply chain, even those that have been in circulation for decades and aren’t standardized

item3

Delivers real-time visibility into all in-transit and fixed gas inventory, previously impossible with existing market solutions 

certificate

Offers a non-intrusive design that is both
cost-effective and simple to install across
an entire fleet 

item4

An API and hardware agnostic software allows easy data integration with existing technology, including digital hardware devices already deployed in the field

IIoT that Delivers Tangible Business and Environmental Outcomes 

Our industrial gas management solution delivers real, measurable impacts on your operations, whether you produce, distribute or buy industrial gas.  
  
Through real-time fill measurement and low gas alerts, gas suppliers can integrate Tendo with their existing operational tech stack and fully automate the replenishment process.  
 
This enables highly efficient inventory and supply chain management, reducing the need for humans to manually monitor gas levels.  This efficiency further minimizes the associated road miles and transportation costs of existing gas management programs, and mitigates costly rush fees that gas customers incur when they run out of gas unexpectedly using existing solutions.  
 
In addition to efficiency, Tendo eliminates residual gas waste and refunded inventory costs accrued from premature restocking. This can significantly reduce gas emissions and inventory waste costs.  
 
Finally, Tendo’s solution mitigates safety risks associated with unknown cylinder leaks throughout the fill, transport and replenishment process. Fill levels are monitored in real-time and can detect released gas before it becomes a problem for suppliers, distributors and customers. This unlocks precise consumption monitoring, forecasting and predictive usage intelligence for all participants of the value chain.
