G7 ToolTag works with employee G7 wearable monitors and
Blackline Vision to enable accurate per worker, per team and per
zone productivity evaluation
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2019 /CNW/ - Spanning a broad range of
industries, many months of careful planning go into preparing for
large-scale facility maintenance and construction projects.
However, businesses without a real-time understanding of where
their workforce and assets are deployed can struggle with
delivering these projects on-time and on-budget. At the NSC 2019
Congress and Expo, Blackline Safety (TSX.V: BLN) is showcasing an
innovative solution to this common challenge with its upcoming G7
ToolTag, a new addition to its digital transformation suite of
products and services.
"With the need to accomplish more with finite resources, many of
our customers are looking to assess 'time-on-tool' — a valuable
worker productivity metric. Until now, this term was more
aspirational, being difficult to comprehensively measure, let alone
optimize," said Sean Stinson, VP
Sales and Product Management. "Blackline is the first connected
worker technology partner to make time-on-tool measurement a
reality, while simultaneously keeping teams safe."
G7 ToolTag is a small, self-powered device for attaching to
tools and equipment that uses Bluetooth to broadcast its presence
and works with Blackline's G7 ecosystem of employee wearables and
cloud-connected software. Employee-worn G7c cellular-connected
devices monitor worker safety while reporting nearby G7 ToolTag
locations to the Blackline Safety Cloud. Within Blackline's online
user portal, project managers can make informed decisions based on
scheduled project tasks, taking into consideration the location of
workers, tools and equipment.
Supporting G7 ToolTag, Blackline's new Blackline
Vision team provides the technology, software and resources to
monitor asset and employee locations, plus their movement patterns.
This information can be used to optimize schedules, workflows,
equipment usage and storage locations.
With assistance from Blackline's in-house team of data
scientists, Blackline Vision can integrate with project management
software including Oracle Primavera P6 or SAP. Each project task
can be location-enabled within the project plan, making it easy to
generate proactive notifications if tasks will be delayed due to
insufficient travel time between tasks or the required equipment is
not present.
At the NSC 2019 Congress and Expo that runs from Sept. 9–11 in
San Diego, Blackline will preview
G7 ToolTag alongside its new Blackline Vision program. Visit booth
no. 3735 to meet Blackline's in-house Data Science team and see the
future of time-on-tool and project management.
