Founded by Henry Bowles and Dr. Theodore Langley the company's initial products included maintenance schedules and safety checklists for use in the maritime industry. From this experience the BLT Alertness Tester, the world's first dedicated alertness checking device, was developed. This device and the patented system for storing baselines became the basis for expansion into other areas of applied cognitive science. BLT is a unique company dedicated to providing new solutions for assessing human performance. Technologies draw on a wide range of management experience and scientific knowledge to provide customers with solutions that are practical, understandable and useful.
