Both systems continuously stream location and gas reading data to the Blackline Safety Cloud, providing a full situational overview of a business's workforce and facility.
Cloud-connected insights
G7 EXO Area Monitor solves the challenges of continuous toxic and combustible gas monitoring for sites, facilities and fence lines. Automating long-term area monitoring and connected safety for unmatched efficiency, the G7 EXO allows teams to focus on their work at hand.
Leveraging integrated cellular and satellite connectivity, the G7 EXO can be placed anywhere and will automatically communicate environmental data to the Blackline Live safety platform - making manual data collection a thing of the past.
The integrated connectivity capability is comprehensive, never limited by the number of devices in an area or on a mesh network. All you have to do is turn it on.
Designed for your environment
Designed in response to these shortcomings and with customer feedback in mind, the G7 EXO features industry-leading run times and functionality, supported by the Blackline Safety Cloud for simple deployment and worry-free operation, thus making short battery life, and configuration limitations and connectivity of conventional area monitors obsolete.
With an aluminium body and exclusive, full-colour interface, G7 EXO is designed to withstand the harshest conditions while still being easy to use. A loud alarm and series of lights communicate events with personnel in its vicinity, while simultaneously communicating the alert through the Blackline Safety Cloud to other EXO and person-worn G7 devices throughout your facility.
Device downtime is eliminated due to the versatility of the G7 plug-and-play gas sensor cartridges, if a sensor should fail in the field or reach the end of its serviceable life, simply remove the old cartridge and replace it with a new one.
