Pilar Case Study

Solution

To address the hurdles screw piles face in conquering the market, Pilar developed an innovative cloud-based SaaS solution combined with an advanced IoT measuring and guidance system. The IoT Smarttorq Unit is a revolutionary IoT system designed to enhance screw pile foundation installations by using high-precision sensors and advanced algorithms to measure stress, depth, and torsion in drilling equipment. While also utilising edge computing to give live feedback to the installer and mitigate risk and errors. It fills a critical industry gap: the lack of a precise method for measuring key installation parameters.

Recognising the need for a technology partner, Pilar partnered with Seluxit, now part of Wirtek, to build a new IoT-powered solution for the Smarttorq Unit, integrating high-precision sensor technology and advanced software. Wirtek’s expertise in smart systems, energy software development services, and hardware is key to delivering accurate measurement, real-time optimisation, and seamless calibration of drilling equipment.

The new IoT Smarttorq Unit is engineered for resilience and uncompromised performance in the toughest environments, such as construction sites, where dirt, weather, and heavy mechanical impacts push equipment to its limits.

Through ongoing R&D and hardware prototyping, the two companies are creating an industrialised sensor-equipped system capable of detecting the smallest variations in installing measurements, preventing failures, and ensuring safe, efficient, and scalable installation.

Unlocking Growth in Clean Tech Solutions

Wirtek has become a trusted partner to Pilar, reinforcing its strategic expansion beyond traditional IT services into scalable, high-impact solutions. Wirtek’s acquisition of Seluxit and Pragmasoft further accelerates its growth in IoT, automation, and subscription-based revenue models.

By collaborating with Pilar, Wirtek strengthens its commitment to Clean and Green Energy, positioning itself in the rapidly expanding IoT in the Energy market—forecasted to reach $746 billion by 2032 (CAGR 19.2%). This growth is driven by rising demand for energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and next-generation sustainable technology solutions.

This partnership between Pilar and Wirtek is paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future in construction, bringing the industry one step closer to carbon neutrality.
