=== Spot-r EquipTag ===
⚫ In November 2017, Triax announced the Spot-r EquipTag, which tracks operator identity, ] location, and equipment utilization without the limitations of traditional ] solutions such as equipment size or indoor/outdoor location. The sensor uses the Spot-r network to track location and utilization and layers in Spot-r Clip workforce and certification data to identify how equipment is being operated and by whom at the job site.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.high-profile.com/triax-launches-spot-r-equiptag/|title=Triax Launches Spot-r EquipTag - High-Profile|date=2017-11-13|work=High-Profile|access-date=2017-11-14|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-09-05|title=Equipment Today & ForConstructionPros.com Name 2018 Contractors’ Top 50 New Products Winners|url=https://www.forconstructionpros.com/equipment/article/21013543/equipment-today-forconstructionproscom-name-2018-contractors-top-50-new-products-winners|access-date=2020-09-17|website=For Construction Pros|language=en-us}}</ref>

=== Spot-r EvacTag ===
Spot-r EvacTag is a real-time solution to notify workers to an evacuation. Leveraging the Spot-r network and wearable Clip, EvacTags emit a 100-decibel, highly visible alert, in which workers are trained—upon hearing or seeing—to evacuate to their muster point. In a situation that requires an evacuation, supervisors can use the Spot-r dashboard to enable the evacuation alarms. The Spot-r Clip and dashboard enable supervisors to identify real-time worker location and monitor evacuation progress, reducing evacuation times by up to 72%.<ref>{{Cite news|last=|first=|date=|title=OH&S Announces 2018 New Product of the Year Award Winners|work=|url=https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1730680O/occupational-health-safety-2018-new-product-of-the-year-award-press-release.pdf|url-status=live|access-date=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Spot-r EvacTag|url=https://www.triaxtec.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/EvacTag-FactSheet.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=These sensors can expedite jobsite evacuations|url=https://www.constructiondive.com/news/these-sensors-can-expedite-jobsite-evacuations/515998/|access-date=2020-09-17|website=Construction Dive|language=en-US}}</ref>

Similar to the Spot-r EquipTag, Point of Interest (POI) Tags are beacons mounted to static locations that remain stationary and monitor Spot-r Clips that come within range of specific points of interest. They are primarily placed in finished, occupied, or confined spaces and have a multitude of safety, security, and efficiency benefits. While our project zones provide general worker location, POIs offer more granular worker location data than typical zones. Notifications can be set to alert supervisors when workers come within range of the tag. Alternatively, you can authorize certain workers for those specific areas if you don’t need to receive notifications for everyone. Additionally, in the event of an evacuation, POI Tags can be utilized as check-in beacons at muster points to account for your evacuated workforce.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Spot-r POI Tag|url=https://www.triaxtec.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/POI-Tag-FactSheet.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}</ref>


=== Access Control === === Partnerships ===
⚫ In October 2017, Triax announced that Lettire Construction Corporation is the first New York City contractor to implement Spot-r at its job site.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sensorsmag.com/components/wearable-sensors-keep-nyc-jobsite-connected|title=Wearable Sensors Keep NYC Jobsite Connected {{!}} Sensors Magazine|website=www.sensorsmag.com|language=en|access-date=November 14, 2017}}</ref>
] for use with Spot-r is a total labor management solution that keeps jobsites secure while automating daily reporting and project tracking. The integration provides a higher level of accountability for anyone accessing your site and ensures those who lack proper credentials are prevented from doing so.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Spot-r Access Control|url=https://www.triaxtec.com/spot-r-access-control/|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}</ref> While the Spot-r Access Control system fully integrates with the traditional Spot-r solution on site, the Spot-r reader within the turnstile was designed to operate independently from the Spot-r network for clients that opt for a stand-alone access control solution.

== Proximity Trace by Triax ==
With the onset of the ], there was an immediate need for a solution that could provide proximity alerts and function as a ] solution. In response, we developed Proximity Trace to address these needs and provide<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Triax Technologies Launches Social Distancing and Contact Tracing IoT Solution, Helping Keep Workers Safe During COVID-19 and Beyond|url=https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200415005446/en/Triax-Technologies-Launches-Social-Distancing-Contact-Tracing|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}</ref>:

Triax Technologies, Inc., is an American technology company that develops and delivers IoT technology for the construction industry. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut.

Spot-r by Triax

Triax's flagship Spot-r system connects workers, equipment and managers through an infrastructure network, sensors, and a cloud-based dashboard.

Spot-r's wearable device, known as the Spot-r Clip, is worn by workers and connects to the Spot-r network on site to provide real-time worker location and activity data. The Clip records and transmits slip, trip and fall events to designated supervisors via text message, dashboard or email notifications. A push-button on the wearable device allows workers to report unsafe conditions, site hazards or other potential injuries in real-time without leaving their work area. Supervisors can also trigger a site wide evacuation alert to each worker's device in case of emergency.

The dashboard provides aggregate on-going and historical data on worker time and attendance, location, certification, subcontractor activity, and safety incidents.

In October 2017, Spot-r was awarded a Business Insurance 2017 Innovation Award for innovative risk management products and services.

Spot-r EquipTag

In November 2017, Triax announced the Spot-r EquipTag, which tracks operator identity, equipment location, and equipment utilization without the limitations of traditional telematics solutions such as equipment size or indoor/outdoor location. The sensor uses the Spot-r network to track location and utilization and layers in Spot-r Clip workforce and certification data to identify how equipment is being operated and by whom at the job site.

Partnerships

In October 2017, Triax announced that Lettire Construction Corporation is the first New York City contractor to implement Spot-r at its job site.

Triax Smart Impact Monitor

Triax previously manufactured and sold two sports products, the SIM-P for individual athletes and the SIM-G for teams and organizations, designed and developed to measure the force and frequency of head impacts in real-time. The Smart Impact Monitor (SIM) embedded a small sensor in either a headband or skullcap to measure hits to head during sporting practice and activity. The sensors contain a 3-axis high-g linear accelerometer that measures 3 to 400 G's, and a 3-axis gyroscope to capture rotational acceleration.

In October 2014, Triax announced a partnership with retired American soccer player, Abby Wambach, to launch the SIM-P to support long-term player health and safety. Abby suffered a concussion on April 20, 2013, while playing for the Western New York Flash of the NWSL.
