Blackline Safety transforms gas detection with second-gen data analytics platform
July 17 2018 - 8:00AM
Today, Blackline Safety Corp. (“Blackline”) (TSXV:BLN) launched its
second-generation Blackline Analytics platform, a tool that makes
it easy for businesses to manage a world-class gas detection
program. Available to all Blackline customers, this new data
analytics software enables businesses to leverage the data streamed
from their connected G7 gas detectors, empowering decision-making
with user-friendly data visualization tools.
“Blackline is the only vendor to combine turn-key, 3G-enabled
connected gas detection with location-based data analytics
software,” said Cody Slater, CEO & Chairman of Blackline
Safety. “Since launching the first generation of Blackline
Analytics at the beginning of the year, we’ve been overwhelmed with
positive customer feedback. Not only has our analytics software
empowered customers with data-driven decision-making, this leading
capability has helped us win new customer business as a key
competitive differentiator.”
“Businesses are increasingly driven by data and connectivity —
with Blackline Analytics, we are moving the gas detection industry
into the future,” said Sean Stinson, VP Sales & Product
Management. “Our G7 connected gas detectors generate much more data
than convention instruments that just beep and flash. Equipment
usage, gas readings, location data, sensor tests and calibrations
are continuously streamed to the Blackline Safety Network for
analysis, driving unique insights for businesses.”
Blackline Analytics is accessible from any internet-connected
device and launched with five interactive reports that will soon be
joined by more reports, driven by customer feedback. Current
Blackline Analytics online reports include:
- Event report — Provides a high-level overview
of customer data, allowing users to quickly drill down into
specifics using several filters. Charts enable quick comparison
across individuals and teams. Users can explore how frequently one
data type was reported and see when data events occur over
time.
- Event Map report — Users can explore the
locations where data events occurred by choosing a date range and
using an interactive map. Multiple occurrences of the same type of
data can indicate a recurring issue that may require
investigation.
- Incident report — Presents data for an
individual employee or team that makes it easy to investigate an
incident relating to gas exposure, an injury or health
incident.
- Usage and Compliance report — Presents
regulatory gas detection and usage compliance data through a series
of interactive charts. Businesses can monitor how teams are using
equipment and if they are performing required gas sensor testing
and calibrations.
- Bump Test and Calibration report —
Customers can further drill into gas detection compliance data,
examining each test and calibration performed, to identify and
manage the cause of any failures that may have been
encountered.
Blackline Analytics leverages assisted-GPS location technology
embedded into every G7 gas detector to accurately record the
location of gas readings. It also supports Blackline’s proprietary
location beacons, used when working around and inside facilities
where GPS satellite signals may be less accurate or not
available.
Blackline Analytics is offered as part of Blackline’s connected
safety portfolio, including its new G7 Insight, which combines a
3G-connected G7c gas detector with an online compliance dashboard
and lifetime sensor warranty. Blackline’s G7c gas detector delivers
turn-key connectivity, with services available in over 100
countries. Unlike competitor products, G7 does not require support
from expensive industrial Wi-Fi networks or complicated Bluetooth
connections to smartphones.
