1. A system comprising:
- a central station coupled in a communicating relationship with each one of a plurality of oxygen tanks in a health care facility, and to receive data from each one of the plurality of oxygen tanks, the data indicative of a location of the one of the oxygen tanks and a state of the one of the oxygen tanks;
a processor configured to analyze the data from each of the plurality of oxygen tanks, to predict resource allocation needs based on a combination of received data and historical data, and to generate a resource allocation message relating to at least one of the plurality of oxygen tanks based on the predicted resource allocation needs, wherein the processor is configured to generate the resource allocation message based on a prediction of an out of range pressure condition for one of the plurality of oxygen tanks; and
a user interface configured to display the data indicative of the location and the state for each one of the plurality of oxygen tanks.
