Blackline Safety announced its partnership with MFE Inspection Solutions to integrate Blackline’s cloud-connected portable detector with Boston Dynamics’ Spot®.
“Gas detection is critical for safety. And teams are no longer limited to collecting that data only when a person enters the area,” said Dylan Duke, CEO of MFE Inspection Solutions. “Robots like Spot are already being used to collect inspection data remotely in hazardous environments. This solution adds real-time gas detection to those workflows, giving operators insight into gas hazards before deciding how and when to send people in.”
Industrial gas monitoring has traditionally relied on personal monitors worn by workers. Connected gas detection provides a new model, giving teams access to gas data from multiple sources—personal monitors, area monitors, and remote systems like robots or drones—with live, detailed views of atmospheric conditions that help organisations make faster decisions.
“This is about connecting technologies customers are already using and making them more useful together,” said Christine Gillies, Chief Product and Marketing Officer, Blackline Safety. “MFE has built the digital plumbing to connect Spot with Blackline’s connected gas detection platform, adding another layer to worker protection while giving organisations critical exposure data as it happens, not after the fact like with traditional monitors, so they can make informed decisions in the moment.”
“Spot’s thermal, acoustic, and visual inspection abilities provide AI-powered predictive insights into facility health,” said Merry Frayne, Senior Director of Product at Boston Dynamics. “Integrating the Blackline Safety portable device gives process manufacturers an even more complete picture of their site while keeping people out of harm’s way.”
