Blackline Releases New AlertLink Feature to Improve Safety, Enhance Emergency Response

Available now for G7 and EXO devices, AlertLink proximity-based
warnings significantly improve site communication, resulting in
faster, more informed incident response
Blackline Safety Corp. (TSX: BLN), a global leader in connected
safety technology, today announced that it has released the new
AlertLink feature for its award-winning EXO and G7 devices.
AlertLink proximity-based warning alerts increase employee
safety via advance warning of potentially dangerous conditions,
expediting evacuations and incident response. The company developed
the feature after receiving feedback through their customer
advisory panel that proximity-based warnings will enhance
industrial safety.
Blackline Safety Channel partners are already seeing the
benefits of the new feature. “We were excited to implement the
AlertLink upgrade into our gas detection suite from Blackline, and
it has impressed us. AlertLink has significantly improved the
notification process for on-site personnel during high gas events,
resulting in faster response times,” said Shawn Todd, American
Safety Services General Manager.
AlertLink enables a Blackline device to share real-time alerts
with nearby workers. When a device detects an event, such as high
gas, gas sensor overlimit, a fall, no motion, or emergency SOS, it
will immediately send a message to all devices within the defined
radius—up to 5,000 meters (16,000 ft) from the source device.
The alert is also received by monitoring personnel, allowing
companies to remotely trigger evacuations and provide exact
location and situation details to emergency responders so they know
what they are walking into.
A major U.S. energy company headquartered in the Permian Basin
provided feedback early in the development of AlertLink. “We have a
number of wellsites monitored by EXO devices, and having any
incidents immediately communicated to nearby workers means we can
address issues such as falls and gas exposures faster, while also
keeping our people safer than ever before,” said a company
representative. “We know this tool will be incredibly valuable for
our teams, and we’re pleased Blackline invited our feedback.”
AlertLink is available for any Blackline G7 and EXO devices on
monitored and self-monitored plans. Unlike competitor products,
Blackline’s cloud-based system means G7 and EXO devices will
automatically receive the AlertLink firmware update with no action
required from the device user. Customers will simply need to log in
to Blackline Live, the company’s cloud-based software platform, and
set up their AlertLink profile to start using the new feature.
Designed with quick, drop-and-go deployment and built-in
cellular and satellite connectivity, the EXO area monitor provides
real-time data and sounds alarms both on the device itself and in
Blackline’s monitoring software when it detects gas—protecting both
people and the environment from hazardous situations. The wearable
G7—with features such as multi-gas detection, SOS latch, fall and
no motion detection, two-way voice, and real-time
connectivity—provides a critical lifeline in case of emergency.
