Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about gas cylinder tracking and the GCT platform.
What is a gas cylinder tracking system?
A gas cylinder tracking system assigns each cylinder a unique digital identity (barcode, QR code or RFID tag) and records every movement — filling, testing, dispatch, delivery and return — so you always know where each cylinder is, who holds it, and its full history.
How does GCT reduce cylinder losses?
GCT tracks every cylinder in real time and reconciles customer holdings automatically. Because each movement is scanned and logged, cylinders can no longer disappear untraced, and idle assets at customer sites become visible and recoverable.
Should I use RFID or barcode for cylinder tracking?
Barcodes and QR codes are low-cost and simple to deploy, ideal for most operations. RFID enables bulk, hands-free gate reads and is ideal for high-volume plants. GCT supports all three, and many customers use a combination.
Does GCT integrate with my ERP or accounting software?
Yes. GCT integrates with Tally, BUSY, SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics, and provides a REST API for custom integrations with your existing systems.
Can drivers use GCT in the field without internet?
Yes. The GCT driver mobile app is offline-first — drivers can scan cylinders, capture signatures and record deliveries without connectivity, and the data syncs automatically when back online.
Which industries use GCT?
GCT is used across industrial gas, medical gas, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, LPG, cryogenics, welding, steel, pharmaceutical, healthcare and more.
How long does implementation take?
Most deployments go live within a few weeks, depending on fleet size and integrations. Our team handles data migration, cylinder tagging guidance and staff training.
How is GCT priced?
Pricing depends on your cylinder fleet size, modules and integrations. Book a demo for a tailored quote and ROI assessment.
Is my data secure?
Yes. GCT uses a secure, cloud-connected architecture with role-based access control, audit trails and encrypted data storage.
Can we track hydro tests and inspections?
Absolutely. GCT records test and inspection dates per cylinder and sends automated alerts before due dates so you stay compliant and safe.
