What Wise Telemetry does

Wise Telemetry, LLC (formerly BreatheWise) is a Pittsburgh-based provider of IoT tank telemetry systems for the compressed gas industry. The company's core offering is the Elite 2.0 communications box, a 4G LTE-M cellular device with GPS and four sensor ports that connects to specialized sensors (differential pressure, single pressure, and Rotarex C-Stic capacitance probes) to monitor liquid and gas levels in cylinders, manifolds, liquid cylinders, and bulk/microbulk tanks. Data is transmitted to the Wise Telemetry Dashboard, a cloud-based platform providing real-time fleet visibility, projected days-until-empty, configurable alerts, historical trend analysis, and geographic mapping, with integration support for ERP, accounting, route planning, and asset tracking systems.

The company serves industrial gas distributors as its primary customer segment, with downstream applications spanning medical oxygen therapy, manufacturing, research laboratories, energy, electronics fabrication, welding, beverage carbonation, and construction. Its value proposition centers on reducing delivery trips and operational costs through real-time supply visibility and route optimization, enabling distributors to eliminate emergency deliveries and better forecast demand. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of the Elite 2.0 and sensor modules plus a SaaS subscription for the monitoring dashboard; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via enterprise sales motions.

Founded in 2015 by Eric Wise after family members required medical oxygen therapy, the company was accepted into the AlphaLab Gear accelerator, rebranded from BreatheWise to Wise Telemetry around 2017, launched the Elite Series in 2018, released the Elite 2.0 in June 2020, and was acquired by Otodata in April 2021. It now operates as part of the Otodata family of companies while maintaining its Pittsburgh headquarters and brand identity.

Core offering

Wise Telemetry designs and sells IoT tank telemetry hardware and a cloud monitoring dashboard for industrial gas distributors and gas end users. The core offering pairs the cellular-connected Elite 2.0 communications box with application-specific sensors (differential pressure, single pressure, Rotarex C-Stic capacitance probes) to provide real-time tank level, usage, and GPS data for cylinders, manifolds, liquid cylinders/beverage CO2, and bulk/microbulk cryogenic tanks, surfaced in a web-based dashboard with alerts and ERP/route planning integrations.

Product overview

Wise Telemetry offers a platform-plus-modules telemetry solution for the compressed gas industry. The core offering consists of the Elite 2.0 communications hub paired with various specialized sensors (differential pressure, single pressure, and capacitance probes). This hardware connects to the Wise Telemetry web-based Dashboard software, which provides real-time monitoring, alerts, geographic mapping, and route optimization data. The system is offered across four main application variants: Cylinders, Manifolds, Liquid Cylinders/Beverage CO2, and Bulk/Microbulk Tanks. The company also supports custom API integrations with ERP, accounting, route planning, and delivery systems.

Products and services

• Elite 2.0 Communication Box The Elite 2.0 is the core IoT communications hub of Wise Telemetry's tank telemetry systems. It collects readings from up to four sensor ports and transmits them via 4G LTE-M cellular to the Wise Telemetry Dashboard, with integrated GPS, support for multiple sensor types (4-20mA, 0-5V, UART, I2C, SPI, contact switch), and optional display screen; intended for industrial gas distributors monitoring compressed and cryogenic gas tanks.
• Elite Series for Cylinders (Cylinder Telemetry) Cylinder tank monitoring system that uses the Elite 2.0 communication box and pressure sensors to transmit real-time cylinder usage and fill level data over 4G LTE-M, compatible with nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, helium, and oxygen; designed for industrial gas distributors managing medical, manufacturing, welding, beverage, and lab cylinder fleets.
• Elite Series for Manifolds (Manifold Telemetry) Tank monitoring system for cylinder manifolds that continuously monitors and transmits active cylinder bank usage and fill level, recording alerts when the manifold switches between cylinder banks to enable optimized delivery routes and schedules; built for industrial gas distributors supplying manifolded cylinder banks.
• Elite Series for Liquid Cylinders and Beverage CO2 Monitoring system for liquid cylinders and beverage CO2 tanks using Rotarex C-Stic capacitance probes paired with the Elite 2.0 communication box (supporting up to 4 C-Stic inputs per box); designed for beverage CO2 distributors and other liquid cylinder gas distributors (nitrogen, CO2, argon, helium, oxygen).
• Elite Series for Bulk and Microbulk Tanks Bulk and microbulk tank monitoring system that uses differential pressure sensing with the Elite 2.0 communications box to determine cryogenic liquid fill levels; web-based alerts are sent when liquid falls below a predetermined threshold, enabling timely bulk deliveries for nitrogen, oxygen, argon, CO2, and helium.
• Wise Telemetry Dashboard Web-based cloud software dashboard for monitoring Wise Telemetry tank assets, providing color-coded fleet views, historical trend analysis, filtering by customer/gas type/route/asset type, projected days until empty, Excel export, delivery time recording, geographic map view with color-coded GPS pins, and configurable alerts for low level, critical level, and abnormal usage; intended for industrial gas distributors' operations and dispatch teams.
