Innovation in the Gas Sector with Supergasbras and NVIDIA

Supergasbras, one of the leading LPG distributors in Brazil, in partnership with NVIDIA, is revolutionizing the gas sector with a Brazilian Artificial Intelligence (AI) solution called SmartReader Cylinder.

This innovation, also developed with the collaboration of Fu2re and Advantech, aims to optimize the distribution process of gas cylinders by capturing images to automatically identify the tare weight and expiration date of the cylinders. The goal is to expand the use of this technology in Brazil and other countries.

National Technology and Strategic Partnerships

The SmartReader Cylinder solution was developed and applied by Brazilians, incorporating technology from NVIDIA, a leader in modern graphics computing and AI, along with Fu2re, which aims to bring the benefits of AI to everyone, and Advantech, a global leader in intelligent IoT systems.

This collaboration reinforces the importance of partnerships in promoting innovation in the sector.

Benefits for Employees and Increased Productivity

The implementation of SmartReader Cylinder technology will bring significant benefits to employees, such as improvements in ergonomics and workplace well-being, thanks to the reduction of repetitive tasks. Additionally, the team of collaborators will be able to focus on more strategic functions in the production process.

The expectation is that productivity and the reading of cylinder information will be more accurate, avoiding rework and improving operational efficiency.

Innovation Details and Future Perspectives

The project consists of an AI and computer vision system that automatically interprets images of gas cylinders. The AI models were trained on the SmartVision AI software, developed by Fu2re, and are executed on the NVIDIA GPU-based SmartVision EDGE AI.

The reading process for each cylinder is completed in less than 0.5 seconds, directly on the filling line.

Currently, the project operates on a scale of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no downtime requirements. The next steps involve conducting advanced long-term functionality tests and expanding the technology to other lines.

This innovation demonstrates the potential of national technology and the positive impact that AI can have on the gas sector and other segments of the industry.

Innovation Details and Future Perspectives

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Brazil accelerates decarbonization in the South: International forum in Foz do Iguaçu gathers leaders to discuss the advancement of biomethane in the energy matrix and the potential of “caipira pre-salt.”

Alert in the fuel market: Analysts and a former director of ANP warn that oil prices may worsen in the coming months due to global instability.

Roraima bets on the sun to escape high tariffs: Amid the energy crisis and price hikes, solar energy is growing in Roraima and transforming consumption in the North region.

The German economist Wolf-Peter Schill has no doubts: “Electric cars are already far superior to cars with internal combustion engines.”

Researchers discover a possible hydrogen deposit of up to 46 million tons beneath an ancient coal basin, and the volume could exceed half of the entire global production.

While the world looks at oil, the war with Iran is already disrupting helium supply from Qatar, affecting car and iPhone chips, threatening AI expansion, and putting pressure on aluminum packaging at the highest value in four years.

Global warming will expose a treasure hidden under the ice of Antarctica and may spark an international dispute over gold and valuable minerals.

The Argentine government celebrates the lowest poverty rate in 7 years, but experts warn that the methodology has changed, real wages have fallen, unemployment has risen, and the number of people on the streets of Buenos Aires has increased by 57% since Milei took office.
