Track and Trace Project for LPG Cylinders

At Raghavendra Automation Pvt Ltd, we take pride in introducing our pioneering Track and Trace Project, designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and transparency of LPG cylinder management. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the needs of the industry while ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Overview of the Project

Our Track and Trace solution integrates advanced technology to provide end-to-end visibility and control over LPG cylinder movements. From manufacturing and distribution to usage and return, our system ensures every cylinder is accounted for and monitored in real-time. This comprehensive approach empowers stakeholders, including manufacturers, distributors, and end-users, to manage cylinders more effectively.

Key Features

QR Code Integration: Each LPG cylinder is affixed with a durable, stainless steel QR tag using an innovative clinching technique. The QR tags are positioned inside the stayplate for enhanced protection.

360-Degree QR Scanning: Our state-of-the-art equipment, "Touch Points," features three QR readers enclosed in flame-proof housings. These readers are strategically positioned to ensure seamless scanning from any angle.

Real-Time Data Transmission: All scanned data is relayed to a central server located in a control room, enabling real-time monitoring and reporting.

Safety-Compliant Design: The equipment and its components are assembled in PESO-approved enclosures, ensuring safe operation in Zone 1 hazardous environments.

PLC-Controlled Operations: The system is powered by Siemens S7-1200 PLCs, ensuring precise control and reliability throughout the process.

QR Affixing Process

The QR affixing process is a critical component of our Track and Trace system, designed to ensure durability, accuracy, and ease of tracking. The process involves:

Preparation of QR Tags:
QR tags are made from high-grade stainless steel to ensure longevity and resistance to environmental factors.
Each tag is laser-etched with a unique QR code for identification and tracking.
Automatic Loading of QR Tags:
Stainless steel QR tags are automatically loaded into the clinching equipment using a specially designed feeding mechanism.
This automation ensures consistent alignment and placement, reducing manual intervention and errors.
Clinching Technology:
QR tags are affixed inside the stayplate of LPG cylinders using a clinching process. This innovative method involves:
Precisely aligning the tag with the designated area inside the stayplate.
Using specialized clinching equipment to secure the tag without the need for adhesives or welding.
Ensuring a tamper-proof and robust attachment that withstands harsh conditions.
Integration with Tracking System:
Once affixed, the QR tags are scanned and linked to the cylinder’s unique identification data in the central database.
This step ensures that each cylinder is trackable throughout its lifecycle.

Benefits of the System

Operational Efficiency: The real-time data allows for better decision-making, reduced downtime, and improved resource allocation.
Regulatory Compliance: Our solutions comply with all PESO regulations and the Gas Cylinder Rules, 2016, ensuring a seamless approval process.
Customer Satisfaction: Improved transparency and accountability foster trust among stakeholders, including end-users.
