Blue Pillar is developing a renewable energy tracking platform for retail energy suppliers. The US-based company has raised over $42 million numerous rounds with lead investors including Allos Ventures, Elevate Ventures, Evergy Ventures, and EnerTech Capital.

The companies proprietary context engine simplifies the process to connect industrial equipment to the internet and serve up the data to manage, monitor, and control equipment and devices so customers can create flexible, scalable solutions for themselves or their customers.

Blue Pillar's platform eliminates the complexity of implementing Industrial IoT network-based solutions by abstracting and providing context through tags to cleanly link data. This design allows users to set up an industrial IOT solution without needing extensive subject matter expertise.
