ADASHI Systems Reveals Glass Prototype for Hazmat and First Response

On April 10, 2014, fire and hazmat software developer ADASHI Systems will reveal a Google Glass prototype at FDIC, the largest firefighter conference in the world. Used in conjunction with the ADASHI first response and incident command software, firefighters wearing the Glass can view critical data such as building plans, aerial imagery, and electronic huddle diagramming.

“ADASHI is focused on cutting-edge technology to support public safety,” said Alex Menkes, CEO. “Our software, already in wide use across the country, provides situational awareness and command and control tools to the people who save our lives every day. Google Glass is a natural fit for the industry, and when the price drops to say, $300 a pair, I think we’ll see more of these in service.”

ADASHI Systems emergency software provides responders with a fast, accurate picture of the scene including maps, preplans, aerial dispersion modeling, guidance and video. Xerox Corporation (XRX) distributes the ADASHI First Response software under its Firehouse brand name, FH Mobile Response.

Users of ADASHI software include the Los Angeles City Fire Department, (the 3rd biggest fire department in the United States), New South Wales Fire & Rescue, (one of the five largest fire rescue services in the world with over 70,000 volunteers), US Marines, and hundreds of other fire departments, hazmat teams and emergency operation centers across the U.S.
