Cylinder QR Tracking
Cylinder QR Tracking gives each cylinder a QR-coded digital passport that anyone can open with an ordinary smartphone — no dedicated scanner required.
A single QR scan reveals the cylinder's full identity: gas type, ownership, last hydro test, next test due, and complete movement history, right at the point of handling.
Because every phone is already a QR reader, it is the easiest technology to extend to customers, drivers and field staff without buying hardware.

Frequently asked questions
Do customers need an app to scan QR codes?
No. QR codes open in any standard smartphone camera, showing the cylinder's digital passport without a dedicated app or scanner.
What information does a QR scan show?
Identity, gas type, ownership, last and next hydro test dates, current status and movement history.
Is QR durable on a cylinder?
Yes — QR can be applied as rugged labels or laser-etched directly onto the cylinder for long life.
How is QR different from barcode?
QR holds more data, can be read from more angles, and works with ordinary phones, making it ideal for customer- and field-facing use.
