Industrial gas monitoring system with pressure regulators, flow measurement devices, and gas cylinders at the chesco ZWE research facility.

FloCloud Cloud-Based Gas Monitoring Transforms Research Efficiency at chesco ZWE

FloCloud gas monitoring was implemented at the chesco ZWE research facility, giving the team better visibility into gas usage and helping them make smarter, more informed decisions.
Installed in collaboration with Nippon Gases Deutschland GmbH, the system integrated smoothly into existing operations and provided a reliable gas monitoring solution.
Delivered accurate gas pressure and flow measurement across a variety of testing environments, helping improve consistency and confidence in research results.
Removed the need for complicated PLC-based industrial gas monitoring systems, making setup easier, lowering costs, and reducing the need for outside specialists.

Benefit #1
Accurate data for advanced testing

FloCloud gives the chesco ZWE team a clear, reliable view of gas pressure and flow across their different setups. This makes it much easier to maintain consistent conditions, repeat tests with confidence, and produce results they can trust – which is critical when working on complex alternative fuel systems and advanced materials.

Benefit #2
Simpler, more affordable alternative to PLC systems

By eliminating the need for complex PLC infrastructure, FloCloud provides a more accessible and cost-effective solution. Teams can deploy and manage industrial gas monitoring systems without specialized programming expertise or additional engineering resources.

Benefit #3
Optimized gas usage and cost control

Real-time monitoring allows researchers to analyze consumption patterns and fine-tune gas mixtures. This leads to reduced waste, lower operational costs, and more efficient use of resources across additive manufacturing and prototype development processes.
