“Power Pillar is a charging pillar integrated with a structural support system, serving not only to upgrade parking facility infrastructure but also to prevent floor collapse due to excessive load. This innovative device aims to reduce carbon emissions resulting from subsequent parking facility repairs and save on maintenance costs. The internal grating optical fiber can detect the inclination or deformation of the pillar and the building, facilitating timely maintenance.”
