Smart Inventory Management Systems improve accuracy of data collection, reduce worktime by doing manual tasks automatically, and can provide reports. These systems support a wide range of disciplines from theater concession stands to large oil tanks.

Design Criteria, Inc. has developed a system for monitoring the weight of tanks containing liquids or solids. The system reports data to a host computer. We provide additional features to our management systems to further aid in inventory assessment such as:

  • Temperature monitor.
  • Humidity monitor.
  • Leakage monitor.
  • Dispensing time.
  • NEMA weather proof box for electronics.

 

Our CO2 Watcher 1 product is designed specifically for restaurants, theaters, sports venues, and other seasonal usage of bulk liquid gases. Among other things, it has 24 hour remote monitoring of tank contents, prevents runouts and emergency refill charges, and verifies accuracy of CO2 billings.

 

The CO2 Watcher I is an electronic remote monitoring device that automatically measures the amount of CO2 in a minibulk tank 24 hours a day and automatically calls a host computer to report the status of the tank contents. A low-profile base which is only 1.25 inches high, is inserted under the tank. The base is connected to a control box using a cable that is attached to the base. A link to the restaurant’s phone line is the only external connection the CO2 Watcher I requires. Calling times can be selected by the user which will minimize phone line interruptions. Installation of the CO2 Watcher I is transparent and simple and it does not interrupt or affect the flow of CO2 gas. Usage reports are generated by the host software. This information can be used to notify the customer or CO2 supplier that a tank needs refilling or to verify delivery of liquid CO2. Monitoring services are also available from Design Criteria, Inc. for a monthly fee.

Our KnightWatcher product can accommodate larger tanks, such as sealed oil and grease tanks, and can be more customizable.

The KnightWatcher Smart Contents Monitor Website provides vital tank information in a non-intrusive manner and makes inventory assessment effortless.
