Blackline Safety is officially retiring the G7 EXO area monitor as we transition to EXO 8, our next-generation area monitoring solution.
EXO 8 is the world's only direct-to-cloud connected portable area monitor, capable of detecting up to eight gases and gamma radiation in a rugged, easy-to-use drop-and-go device. With no expensive infrastructure or complicated setup required, EXO 8 ensures seamless deployment and reliable performance in industrial worksites, confined space entries, and public safety applications.
We appreciate your support as we continue to innovate for a safer workplace.
