The latest in safety measures have come a long way to help protect construction workers, despite few technological advances to bolster construction site safety itself.<\/p>\n

Damages from fire, mold, water, and other environmental hazards all can cost construction and insurance companies millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

New York-based startup, Pillar Technologies<\/a> has found an answer: smart sensors specifically design with construction site safety in mind. Pillar\u2019s backend system for these sensors also functions as a risk management tool and collects real-time data, alerts, and long-term analysis from hundreds of sensors across construction sites.<\/p>\n

Using<\/b> Pillar\u2019s Sensors
\n<\/b>Each of these sensors is mounted every 2,000 square feet of the construction site. With a monthly analytics subscription and these smart sensors\u2014which are smaller than a shoebox\u2014Pillar has the ability to track any shifts in environmental conditions and oncoming danger for construction workers. Changes in temperature, humidity, dust particulates, pressure, noise vibration, and volatile organic compounds have all been elements taken into consideration.<\/p>\n

Pillar\u2019s Tech Accolades
\n<\/b>Not only was Pillar Technologies announced as a winner of the Global Change the World for Profit competition at the Forbes Under 30 Summit and the company has participated in TechCrunch\u2019s CES Hardware Battlefield 2017.<\/p>\n
