The present invention relates to a gas platform system and method thereof, and more particularly to an IoT gas platform system and method for performing remote monitoring and remote control.

Conventionally, gas consumption is measured through a gas meter and gas charges are charged accordingly. However, there are many cases where the gas meter is operated illegally to manipulate the gas usage amount, but it is difficult to prevent or efficiently cope with this.

On the other hand, there is a problem that it is impossible to deal with large-scale disasters such as earthquakes and fires, as well as simple gas leaks, immediately and efficiently. It mainly depends on the way in which the user directly controls the gas supply, and there is a limit to how users can cope with these various disasters.

It is also almost impossible to directly monitor or cope with the use of a wide range of gas for these immediate disasters or spills in remote gas stations.
