Turns your Apple or Android smart phone into a lone worker device. Prior to entering a site, building or client’s home, lone workers can send location-based notes to monitoring infrastructure that provide valuable context surrounding their location, activities and risk level. A configurable check-in timer confirms the Lone Workers ongoing well-being and notifies the Guardian Angel monitoring centre of exceptions via safety alerting. If an emergency incident occurs, the user can trigger a Loner Mobile’s SOS alert to notify Guardian Angel monitoring personnel immediately.
Loner Mobile leverages Blackline’s SOS Button accessory, which features Bluetooth® Smart communications and pairs with a smartphone’s Loner Mobile app. The SOS Button is the critical physical interface used to instantly call for help without the need to have your phone in your hand. All safety incidents are communicated to Guardian Angel monitoring personnel through Loner Mobile app.

Blackline Live is a leading
LIVE LOCATION DATA: Used by Blackline’s in-house Safety Operations Center (SOC) and alarm receiving center partners around the world, Blackline Live’s real-time maps provide a live view of the ongoing safety of an organization’s team members and facilities. Powered by data streamed from devices in the field, the maps actively update so teams can quickly view the location and alert status of all their G7 person-worn and G7 EXO area gas monitors.
FUNCTIONAL DEVICE CONFIGURATION: G7 and G7 EXO devices are easily configured for specific work environments using configuration profiles. Updates and firmware changes are pushed wirelessly, over-the-air, ensuring devices are always up-to-date and working as they should.
CUSTOM ALERT PROFILES: Alert profiles are also configured through Blackline Live, with documented custom emergency protocols that instruct monitoring personnel how to manage emergency responses according to a business’ unique needs. Alert profiles provide monitoring personnel with critical work flows to manage alerts in real-time.
AUTOMATED REPORTING: A series of live graphs and charts provide teams with an at-a-glance summary of their fleet health, including usage and device testing information. Supporting gas detection programs, G7c, G7x and G7 EXO devices equipped with a gas sensor cartridge wirelessly communicate bump test and calibration data to Blackline Live for automated reporting, alleviating the potential risk of human error and the need for manual data collection.
SECURITY & AUTHENTICATION: Offers convenient single sign-on (SSO) option through Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0. Further, if your Identity Provider (IDP) offers multi-factor authentication (MFA), then your employees can also use the secure MFA to authenticate with Blackline Live. And, you can control their access to our services without needing to go into Blackline Live.
