Dräger Edge Device

Keep an eye on your gas detection system anytime, anywhere, and boost your efficiency with our Dräger Edge Device, which seamlessly connects your REGARD gas detection system to the cloud. Together with Gas Detection Connect (GDC), you can view and visualise live and historical data from all measurement points and access it flexibly on a wide range of devices. The user-friendly dashboard and precise event list provide you with trend information and prioritise system alerts by urgency, whilst alarm sources can be located immediately to enable rapid action. GDC allows you to centrally manage all system data, offers automatic software updates and enables the integration and combination of various device data for a comprehensive overview and efficient management. This allows you to keep track of detailed and comprehensive data, particularly in systems with a large number of measurement points, and interpret it effectively. Take your gas detection system to the next level; start reaping the benefits of your REGARD gas detection system today – whether REGARD 3000, REGARD 3000 plus or 7000 – and make it a future-proof component of your IIoT solution.

In the event of an alarm, you and authorised personnel – such as the plant fire brigade – will simultaneously receive all the necessary information to take the correct action immediately. You can choose to be notified of alarms and important system events either immediately or at set times via email. The direct overview you receive even before setting out is particularly valuable: Which gas is leaking, at what concentration, and where is the transmitter triggering the alarm? What specific alarms and information are being sent? This knowledge is crucial for accurately assessing the hazard and optimally coordinating countermeasures. You can see exactly which transmitter is reporting a gas concentration and where, enabling you to effectively direct the response from the outset.

With the Dräger Edge Device, you are fully prepared for service work, as you have all the relevant information to hand in advance and do not need to collect data on site. Remote access to your REGARD gas detection system enables proactive and efficient planning of maintenance work, so that your service team can carry out assignments in a targeted and time-saving manner. Thanks to continuous condition monitoring, your team can carry out maintenance work as and when required and adjust maintenance intervals where necessary. Whether from your desk or on the move – you can keep an eye on the status of your gas detection transmitters anytime, anywhere. This transparency facilitates precise planning and avoids unnecessary travel, making service activities considerably more efficient.

Your data is transmitted reliably and in accordance with the latest security standards, such as the IEC 62443 IT security standard, thereby offering maximum protection against cyber threats. If you do not wish to store your data in the cloud, direct access via an OPC-UA server is available as a secure alternative. This gives you full control over your gas detection system’s data at all times and allows you to decide flexibly how to access it.

Combine your fixed and portable gas detection technology to create a comprehensive safety solution. In the digital age, data is invaluable, including in gas detection. To ensure maximum safety, data from portable gas detectors can be linked with that from fixed gas detection systems. With Gas Detection Connect as the central platform and the Dräger Edge Device, data from your fixed gas detection transmitters is intelligently combined with that from mobile single- or multi-gas detectors.
