Exploit all opportunities of digitalisation
In the field of safety technology, the digital revolution and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are opening up completely new possibilities. Digitalisation forms the basis for networking and controlling systems, connecting sensors or the extensive use of artificial intelligence. With the help of the right hardware and software, processes can be standardised and complex systems can be controlled more easily. Due to digitalisation, all processes are carried out identically, documented correctly and errors are minimised. Guidelines and laws can be documented and complied with more ease by those responsible. In addition, companies benefit from:
- More efficient work processes – by viewing, managing and saving current device data
- Increased safety – thanks to area monitoring and live data
- Reduced downtime – through live data and less false alarms
- More accurate decision-making – using data basis for future optimisations or security concepts
- Better resource planning and organisation – efficient measure against the shortage of skilled workers
Gas Detection Connect
YOUR CONNECTION TO THE DIGITAL FUTURE OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY With its cloud- based software solution, Gas Detection Connect, Dräger is opening up the opportunities of digitalisation for gas detection technology. The system connects individual products from Dräger, such as the Dräger X-dock®, Dräger X-am® 2800 or Dräger Pac® for gas monitoring. Thanks to the location and time- independent access, you can ideally manage your equipment fleet. Keep track of the position and status of your gas detection device and workers in front of you. Not only do you better protect your workers, but you also increase the efficiency of your plant.
get to know the new era of gas technology systems

Increase your efficiency
by optimising your asset management
AUTOMATE PROCESSES AND ANALYSE DATADigitalisation creates new opportunities for more efficient fleet management. It simplifies many processes that were previously complex. Such as manually collecting data to document and test devices after compliance. The goal is to centralise management but decentralise execution. For example, equipment management becomes much easier because data can be automatically collected and accessed from anywhere. In addition, you benefit from:
- Easy export of data via Excel or API interface for data analysis
- Retrieval of unit overviews and test certificates as PDF at any time
- Centralised distribution of firmware updates and reports to users
- Overview of which units need to be checked or replaced at any time
Digital progress also enables much greater automation of services and maintenance intervals. There is a lot of potential, especially for regular tasks such as firmware updates, testing and calibration of gas detection devices or initial configuration. Here, digitalisation helps you to improve your asset management and to increase safety and efficiency:
- Comprehensive overview for better monitoring of ongoing and daily operations
- Data from different field devices and applications are made available in near real time from a central location
- Fulfilment of verification obligations and regulations through simplified, automated documentation
- Documentation simplifies details at shift changes and provides status updates for the following shift
- Recorded data of maintenance and servicing tasks improves operational excellence – in terms of the life cycle of the plant
Deepen your insights
targeted analysis of data
MORE THAN ONE STEP AHEAD Consolidation and provision of all collected data from the field and the interaction with the safety equipment enables sophisticated analysis. Take advantage of this further value creation from the available data that goes beyond the legal requirements. When planning future projects, you can derive improvements from the available data. The historical view shows you usage trends and patterns. Beyond the predominantly hardware- related analysis, software solutions for security provide further insights when entering the data history. Analyse the causes of incidents faster or uncover long-term leaks and other anomalies by detecting patterns. Together with other external data sources, such as weather data, you create even more transparency in the future. You also benefit from
- Increased efficiency : automatic storage of all certifi cates in the Gas Detection Connect back end, available via web application
- Better overview : status of devices, connected Dräger X-dock® stations and number can be viewed at any time via the web application
- Central management : configuration and distribution of firmware updates via Gas Detection Connect
- Availability at any time : all data is available for searching, filtering and exporting (Excel export as XLSX file or certificate as PDF)
- Easy export of data as Excel spreadsheet or API interface for data analysis
WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS
Not only can you use the data for downstream analysis, but also for live
monitoring. Processing the data – device status and information, alarms and
the location – in the cloud back end ensures that it is available where it is
needed:
- With the safety engineer at the plant
- In the control room for analysis in critical situations
In this way, the use of data – live and in real time – contributes to better safety at your plant
WHEN AND WHERE YOU NEED THE DATA
Data can save lives. Collecting and evaluating all the relevant information
not only increases the safety of your employees, but of the entire facility.
All data contributes to a holistic overall picture, allowing you to:
- Identify hazards from the operator position at an early stage
- Initiate countermeasures more quickly
- Analyse correlations and anomalies more easily
- Reveal causes in a more targeted manner
Reduction of operation risks
GET THE BIGGER PICTURE
Using the existing data material enables you to ensure greater safety at your
facility. Whether employees are moving to confi ned spaces or containers,
working in safety-relevant areas or travelling freely at the plant. Those
responsible for safety in the control centre can always be with them, compile
the data into an overall picture and recognise danger scenarios earlier
- Display of all devices on a map, including real-time alarm status and location of the user
- Locate a hazardous area or employees more quickly
- Carry out effi cient and safe evacuations
- Monitor evacuation status through GPS
- Determine safe arrival easier
- Eliminate the need for manual documentation and reporting
- Automatic storage, retrieval and reporting of data
INCREASE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
NO MATTER FROM WHICH LOCATION Monitoring can be carried out from any
location that has an internet connection. All relevant information can be
displayed directly in the web application. This way, any authorised person can
get an immediate overview of the situation on-site. This also contributes to
increased occupational safety. Data backup is done automatically. All the
relevant data is stored and documented in the central Gas Detection Connect
back end. The proven Microsoft Azure® back end solution is used for this. The
stored data can be used at any time for searching, fi ltering, exporting as
Excel spreadsheet and, above all, for analysis and the creation of future
safety concepts
