ESS attendees will also see the latest enhancements to MSA's Connected Firefighter Platform, an ecosystem of hardware and software technologies that help fire departments better manage PPE and related data associated with use and maintenance. This includes the M1 self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA); the MSA HUB, a wireless, cloud-connected gateway for on-scene and remote monitoring; and FireGrid software. MSA Safety will be highlighting the impact and value of the data that is available from the Connected Firefighter Platform and how data transmitted directly from the M1 SCBA to the cloud is integrated with FireGrid to help enhance safety, inform on-scene decision making, and make remote monitoring and post-event analysis easier. FireGrid Inventory Management capabilities will also be featured this year, showing how FireGrid can digitize tasks like equipment compliance checks and inspection schedules for SCBA and fire helmets. Inventory Manager can address equipment management challenges, eliminate paperwork and make information easily accessible in a fire department's FireGrid account. This helps departments better track equipment location and usage, and manage equipment cleaning, inspection and maintenance, which ultimately enhances equipment longevity. "With our Connected Firefighter Platform, we're continually working to provide valuable insights to firefighters and fire brigades without adding complexity or getting in the way," said Bob Apel, MSA Safety Executive Director of Fire Service and Digital Experience. "At ESS, we're looking forward to having conversations with our customers and showcasing how our solutions can help them make progress toward their safety goals and make compliance easier.
