What makes G6 truly unique is its long-lasting connectivity,
which outlasts the competition. This means industrial organizations
can fully harness real-time vital safety data for the first time in
scenarios where disposable, traditional beep-and-flash detectors
are commonly used.
A fully connected and intuitive solution that leverages the
latest in Internet of Things (IoT) cellular connectivity, G6
delivers expanded benefits such as longer battery life, lower cost
of ownership and fewer false alarms. More importantly, it gives
safety professionals access to the trusted data they need to manage
their safety protocols, processes, and ongoing compliance more
effectively and efficiently.
“With this new technology, we’re bringing unprecedented levels
of connectivity to industrial workplaces, helping to reduce the
risk of injury, boost productivity and bring proactive safety
management to a new level,” said Cody Slater, CEO and Chair,
Blackline Safety. “We’re responding to a direct need in the market,
giving safety managers higher performing technology to access
reliable, actionable data at their fingertips.”
Built-in capabilities of G6 include:
Connectivity
- Proven direct-to-cloud cellular connectivity that works
straight out of the box.
- Complete safety management through the Blackline Live software
portal, with the ability to view an entire fleet of devices from a
single screen and deliver automatic, over-the-air firmware and
configuration updates.
- Improved incident response time supported by real-time
notifications and GPS mapping to quickly locate workers and devices
and understand what’s happening on the ground as incidents
unfold.
Trustworthy gas detection and powerful analytics
- Sensor options to quickly alert workers to exposure of toxic
gases, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO),
oxygen (O2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
- Higher precision short-term exposure limit (STEL)
monitoring.
- More accurate data that reduces false alarms and drives
powerful reporting and analytics to get ahead of safety risks.
Longest-lasting device life
- Long-life rechargeable battery that lasts up to one year.
- Ability to quickly locate devices when lost or stolen.
- Device life of up to four years, double the life span of
competitive models.
According to a 2022 survey by Priority Metrics Group, 75 percent
of North American environment, health and safety (EHS) managers see
significant value in gas detectors with expanded features. They’re
also looking for a simpler, more integrated solution when it comes
to using the data generated from gas detection systems to make
better informed decisions.
“G6 fills a current gap in the market. We have customers who are
looking to replace their beep-and-flash detectors with a connected
device with more safety features, but still need a device that
requires minimum upkeep and is easy on time and resources,” said CJ
Gregg, CEO, Becker Safety and Supply, a Western US-based
distributor of safety supplies. “G6 delivers on all fronts.”
Ideally suited to large industrial organizations in the oil and
gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, utility, and renewable energy
sectors, G6 allows users to access important single-source data
from anywhere, at any time, on any Web-enabled device, and then
analyze it through Blackline’s advanced reporting, visualization
and data analytics software. This means safety managers can glean
critical data insights that help them stay ahead of potential risks
and make daily operations more efficient. At the same time, they
have state-of-the-art technology and cloud-connectivity at their
fingertips to respond to incidents quickly and confidently in
real-time when they do happen.
“Today’s safety and operational leaders are looking for
connected solutions that support their number one goal, which is to
protect workers from hazards, so they arrive home safely at the end
of the day,” said Slater. “Our customer-driven approach to
innovation is helping to build a world where adaptive, proactive
safety programs are the norm, making it possible to reduce
workplace injuries and increase productivity at the same time.”
G6 comes with a full warranty and flexible purchase options that
include the ability to own or lease to maximize CAPEX or OPEX
budgets. First product shipments are scheduled for late
October.
