Calgary, Alberta — 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:
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.
