Blackline displaces traditional 'beep-and-flash' gas monitors
while replacing prior-generation lone worker monitors with a
single, satellite-connected safety wearable
CALGARY, May 23, 2019 /CNW/ - Blackline Safety (TSXV:
BLN), a global leader in connected gas detection and lone worker
monitoring, received a $1M purchase
order for G7x wearables featuring satellite communication and
service plans with a three-year term. Under this order, Blackline
displaced a conventional gas detection vendor while upgrading from
Blackline's previous-generation Loner 900 work-alone monitors. The
majority of G7x wearables were equipped with a four-sensor
diffusion cartridge and a portion with Blackline's new four-gas
pump cartridge.
"During their buying cycles, top-tier businesses thoroughly
evaluate every vendor to ensure their investment delivers maximum
value throughout their organization," said Sean Stinson, VP Sales and Product Management at
Blackline Safety. "Having won our client's business for a second
time, we demonstrated again how G7 products and services deliver
superior value compared to competitor offerings."
Blackline's G7x connected safety system includes the G7x
wearable and the G7 Bridge portable satellite base station.
Employees wearing G7x devices are remotely monitored by the
Blackline Safety Cloud via the vehicle-mounted G7 Bridge satellite
base station. Offering up to 2 km (1.2 miles) of wireless coverage
from the nearest G7 Bridge, employees can work confidently knowing
their safety is being monitored by a live team.
"The energy landscape is changing where businesses are
undergoing a digital transformation to stay competitive," said Mr.
Stinson. "For over a decade, Blackline has innovated at the
forefront of industrial connected safety, delivering
enterprise-ready solutions that work out-of-the-box." He added,
"Every G7x wearable generates large volumes of location-enabled
data. While an employee may not notice a low-level of gas while
walking through a facility, G7x will capture that reading and
report it to the Blackline Safety Cloud, ensuring that maintenance
teams receive this data."
Blackline's data analytics software is the first of its kind,
helping businesses visualize and interact with their data. Armed
with over ten automated reports, Blackline Analytics, businesses
new insights into their operations — such as viewing 'heat maps' of
low-level gas exposures that can be used to drive corrective
actions. In addition to Blackline Analytics software, clients
receive wireless connectivity, data storage, a cloud-hosted user
portal, device configuration management, automated G7 firmware
updates and a lifetime gas sensor and pump warranty.
Blackline is the only gas detection vendor in the world that
offers clients the option of employee monitoring by an in-house
24/7 live Safety Operations Center. Every alert is managed from
onset to resolution according to the customer's exact response
protocol. A team of highly-trained agents receive each alert in
real-time, along with the alert type, the employee's identity,
location and whether atmospheric gas hazards are present. Empowered
with full situational awareness, agents dispatch responders,
delivering help in the shortest period of time.
