Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for monitoring a supply of gas cylinders in a gas cylinder storage cage, such as identifying a number of full gas cylinders and a number of empty gas cylinders, and/or a total number of gas cylinders present in the gas cylinder storage cage, and displaying the determined numbers to a user. In one embodiment, a method includes: transmitting distance measurement data from a sensor within a gas cylinder storage cage to a control system of a cage monitoring system; determining, with the control system, whether a gas cylinder is present at a sensing location within the gas cylinder storage cage proximate the sensor; and when the control system determines that a gas cylinder is present at the sensing location, determining, with the control system, whether the gas cylinder is full or empty.
