A sensor embedded into concrete works with the easy-to-use software to provide real-time data on the concrete as it cures and dries. The mobile app can quickly share the status of the concrete’s estimated strength, temperature and relative humidity. With a state-of-the-art in-house lab, the exact concrete mix can be more accurately tested enabling construction managers to make faster and more thorough decisions regardless of climates.
Understanding the importance education and safety play on a construction jobsite, the company will also offer implementation, training and support services on site for contractors and their teams. “We want to help contractors know what to do proactively, so their teams can get work done safer and on time,” said Manohar. “Training and support by Hilti concrete specialists will be an integral part of what we offer.”
Hilti acquired technology startup Concrete Sensors in March. The solution extends Hilti’s digital (IoT) portfolio into new and important applications and strengthens the brand’s leadership position as a provider of productivity solutions in the construction industry.
