Triax Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of technology for
the connected jobsite, today announced a partnership with United
Rentals, Inc., the world’s largest equipment rental company, to
offer Triax’s flagship Spot-r IoT system at its rental
branches.
Triax’s proprietary Spot-r IoT sensor technology provides
unprecedented insights into real-time worker and asset management.
The system will integrate with United Rentals’ proprietary,
web-based software solutions, giving construction firms a
comprehensive look at equipment utilization, operator identity and
site safety.
“Our companies share a commitment to help shape a new age in
construction through innovation,” said Pete Schermerhorn, president
and chief operating officer, Triax Technologies. “United Rentals is
a forward-thinking market leader that will make our technology
broadly available through the rental process, giving construction
firms the insights and tools they need to work safer and more
efficiently.”
Triax’s Spot-r system collects real-time data indoors and
outdoors without the need for Wi-Fi. Moveable, plug-and-play Spot-r
Clips and EquipTags are worn by workers or tagged on equipment,
automatically monitoring the location, time and attendance of
personnel, as well as equipment location and utilization. Safety
advances include sensor detection of fall events with triggered
alerts, an evacuation alarm in emergency situations, and a channel
for worker reporting of hazards and non-fall injuries.
“Triax Technologies is bringing critical, next-generation
resource visibility to the jobsite,” said Matthew Flannery,
president of United Rentals. “By including Spot-r in our rental
offering, we are helping our customers improve safety, make better
decisions about equipment usage, and work more efficiently while
reducing overall costs.”
