Via the web application, the position and movement of people can be viewed independent of time and location – based on GPS data of the smartphones. Live data from the Dräger Pac and X-am 2800/5800 devices, such as measured values and the device status, can also be checked via the web application. In the event of an alarm, an alert notification can be sent immediately. And unlike other connected platforms: only the hours in which data is sent live to the cloud backend are billed. GDC: only pay for what is used.

In the Dräger Gas Detection Connect web application, customers can easily and quickly view information about in-use devices. The data, certificates, and test results of the gas detector are stored in the cloud backend via the Dräger X‑dock stations and the management and storage of device data, test information, measurement data and other information is handled by the Azure Cloud backend. In addition to the gas detector information, firmware updates can be distributed to the X-dock stations.

The user-friendly design allows collected data to be optimally viewed. Both live events and past events that have been transmitted and documented to the cloud backend through the smartphone app or the Dräger X‑dock stations can be viewed and exported at any time. All event and device data can be customized using filters and search functions and can be compiled as an Excel export.

GDC offers a sophisticated role and rights management system, so the customer can decide whether users are allowed to be seen on a map seen as plain text names or only IDs, and access X-dock stations. Customized rights enable management to create specific roles and individually assign users.

A range of measures ensure the protection and security of your data, which is backed up to the cloud at regular intervals. Roles and rights allow management to set who can view personal data. For additional privacy, location profiles are decoupled from personal data after one hour if there is no alarm and high security standards apply to access options, encryption and provisioning of the devices.

Dräger Gas Detection Connect is a ready-to-use system that requires minimal IT support from the customer. Via the web application, the software can be used immediately after ordering and the IT infrastructure costs for the software are fully covered by Dräger. The GDC licenses cover the use of the Microsoft^® Azure Cloud, hosting of the data, software updates and support functions. Dräger's central Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution helps significantly reduce internal IT expenses.

Cybersecurity plays an essential role at every stage of the development cycle within Gas Detection Connect. In order to control, maintain and continuously improve information security, Dräger works with an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
