G7 Exo to render conventional area monitoring systems
obsolete, increase productivity through automation while delivering
multi-month run-time
HOUSTON, TX, Oct. 22, 2018 /CNW/ - Today at the National
Safety Council's 2018 Congress & Expo, Blackline Safety Corp.
(TSXV: BLN) — the leader in connected safety technology — announced
G7 Exo. Arriving in 2019, Blackline will disrupt the area
monitoring product segment with next-generation capabilities to
solve the challenges of continuous toxic and combustible gas
monitoring for facilities, sites and fence-lines.
G7 Exo will leverage Blackline's trusted, award-winning and
cloud-connected gas detection platform. Employees place a personal
G7 gas detector with integrated cellular or satellite connectivity
into the front bay of G7 Exo. With the addition of G7's instant
connectivity and gas detection, personnel deploy the G7 Exo system
wherever they need continuous environmental monitoring.
"Turn-key connectivity, intelligence and versatility are the
hallmarks of every G7 solution," said Cody
Slater, CEO and Chairman at Blackline Safety. "Like our full
G7 portfolio, the goal behind G7 Exo is connected safety,
automation and streamlined efficiency. Many area monitoring
offerings from competitors feature a battery run-time of just a few
days. In stark contrast, G7 Exo dramatically improves this
capability, delivering a battery life of over 90 days." He added,
"G7 Exo will automate long-term area monitoring for turnarounds,
shutdowns, construction, emergency responses and around facilities,
tank farms, processes, spill sites and other locations. Personnel
will be able to focus on their work at hand without needing to
babysit existing area monitors that will soon become a thing of the
past."
The new G7 Exo area monitor is part of Blackline's overall
connected safety system. Every G7 Exo system deployed will report
its location and gas readings to the Blackline Safety Network where
a live monitoring team can respond to any detected gas leaks and
evacuate personnel as needed. G7 Exo also supports Blackline's
recently-announced push-to-talk capability for personal G7c
cellular-connected gas detectors. When using a G7c with
push-to-talk enabled, G7 Exo provides nearby employees with an
additional two-way radio system that delivers a loud area broadcast
and the option to call other personnel on the same channel.
G7 Exo is compatible with Blackline's G7 Insight program, which
one-for-one replaces conventional 'beep-and-flash' gas detectors
with a world-leading connected system, online compliance dashboard
and data analytics. Blackline's new G7 Exo area monitoring system
will also take advantage of G7's plug-and-play sensor cartridges
that provide advanced configurability while eliminating downtime
due to a damaged or failed gas sensor. Combined with a lifetime
sensor warranty, any G7 cartridge can be changed in seconds,
delivering unrivaled value and customization for businesses in
every industry.
Blackline Safety is presenting G7 Exo and its new G7c
push-to-talk capability in booth #4501 at the National Safety
Council's Congress & Expo. This event will be held from October
22–24 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. To learn about Blackline
