Purchase order includes three years of Blackline's industry
leading Safety Operations Center service with G7c cellular and G7x
satellite-connected devices
CALGARY, Dec. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - A prominent safety
agency in Canada has purchased
$1.1M of Blackline Safety Corp.
(TSXV: BLN) connected safety products and services to replace their
previous generation of Blackline monitoring solutions. Under this
order, Blackline will ship its G7c cellular-connected and G7x
satellite-connected employee wearables with three years of safety
monitoring service to help keep field teams safe. Included in this
order is online access to Blackline's cloud-hosted safety
monitoring software, data analytics and 24/7 live monitoring
services provided by Blackline's in-house Safety Operations
Center.
"A long-term government customer opened a public tender for the
next phase of their lone worker program to ensure that they were
using the right technology to keep their teams safe," said
Sean Stinson, VP Sales & Product
Management at Blackline Safety. "Having won this agency's business
for a second time, there's no question that our G7 portfolio
comprehensively fulfills customer expectations compared to other
vendors' offerings. Government agencies are under additional
pressure to ensure they're spending public money responsibly, so
this is a testament to the value that Blackline provides customers
for non-industrial settings. We are proud to have been chosen as
the solution to protect those whose job it is to protect others in
the workplace."
Blackline's G7c and G7x employee-worn safety monitoring devices
include automatic incident detection including falls and no-motion,
plus an employee check-in schedule. Both include an SOS latch that
employees can use to instantly call for help and a two-way
messaging feature that allows the employee to communicate with the
live monitoring team, providing situational awareness during an
incident. Integrated location technology pin-points the employee's
location on a map, enabling Blackline's live monitoring team to
manage a real-time emergency response. State-of-the-art
cloud-hosted monitoring software makes it easy to administer the
overall safety monitoring system while providing the tools to
ensure every device is correctly configured and set up for live
monitoring. Configuration profiles automate the process of
customizing G7c and G7x devices, while alert profiles define how
each alert is to be managed, the corresponding response protocol
and the escalation path.
G7c is a self-contained safety device and features internal
cellular communications. For locations beyond the reach of cellular
networks, Blackline's G7x wearable and the G7 Bridge portable
satellite base station system manages the satellite uplink to the
Blackline Safety Network. An industrial-grade radio link connects
G7x and G7 Bridge devices and offers up to 2 km range, allowing
employees to work indoors while being monitored.
