Blackline's G7 wearables to add camera technology in 2020,
dramatically increasing awareness during emergency
situations
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 10, 2019 /CNW/ - Industrial Workers in the
field and throughout facilities face workplace hazards that never
rest. Award-winning connected worker technology from Blackline
Safety (TSX.V: BLN) accompanies personnel, monitoring their
environment, so they can be more confident and focused in their
work. Partnering with Occly, LLC, a leading designer of wearable
camera systems, Blackline is adding live camera vision to its G7
connected portfolio. Safety and operations personnel attending NSC
2019 in San Diego this week are
invited to Blackline's booth 3735 to hear Blackline speak about the
future of connected technologies as they relate to digital
transformation, safety and productivity.
"We are excited about our partnership with Backline as we
continue to work to increase safety for employees around the
globe," said Marc Harris, Managing
Partner at Occly. "Blackline is the premier provider of
intrinsically safe solutions for workforce safety, and we are glad
to be a part of further extending their capabilities. The new
intrinsically safe Occly model will also further extend the
capabilities of our original wearable with enhanced features
including push-to-talk."
"Around the world, we trust businesses and skilled workers to
keep our infrastructure running and our economy flowing,"
said Cody Slater, CEO and
Chairman of Blackline Safety. "Around the clock, Blackline has a
proven track-record of keeping these personnel safe, delivering
practical, high-value products and services to heavy industry. As
we continue to push the limits of connected worker safety, we have
partnered with Occly to leverage our G7 wearables as a connected
hub, providing the option to stream multiple camera views to a live
monitoring team, directly from the new Occly device."
In mid-2020, Blackline will complete Occly camera integration
with G7 wearables, streaming photos and video to the Blackline
Safety Cloud. Wearable multi camera technology will provide live
monitoring teams with four distinct points of view to increase
their awareness of emergent situations that are developing.
Combined with the employee's identity, location, alert type and
environmental gas readings, monitoring agents are empowered to
dispatch and prepare responders for an optimized emergency response
while efficiently evacuating a facility.
At the NSC 2019 Congress and Expo that runs from September 9–11
in San Diego, Blackline welcomes
safety and operations professionals to stop by for a conversation
about the future of safety at its Today and Tomorrow displays.

learn more about what the future of safety has in store for the
industry.
