Smart bolts that monitor themselves –144 times a day
Built-in sensors measure bolt condition every 10 minutes and deliver data straight into our monitoring system.
So you can act months before failure, not after.
144 INSPECTIONS PER DAY
Every 10 minutes. Automatic. 24/7.
MONITOR FROM ANYWHERE
Real-time alerts, trends and full history. All in one dashboard.
MONTHS BEFORE FAILURE
Early warning, not late discovery. Plan the stop – don't react to it.
From invisible risk to full visibility – in three steps
- Smart bolts with built-in sensors
Our bolts measure preload every 10 minutes – automatically detecting changes caused by heat, vibrations or dynamic loads. - Automatic data transfer
Readings are sent wirelessly to our monitoring systems. No manual collection. All data at the same place. - Alerts and trends where you already work
Monitor bolt condition in real time, track changes over time, and get alerted before small shifts become costly failures.

The invisible problem
Manual inspections require downtime, provide limited information, and only show a snapshot of bolt condition at a single point in time.
Meanwhile, critical bolted joints are exposed to heat, vibrations and mechanical forces, around the clock. Between inspections, there is no data. Problems are discovered after damage has already occurred.
The result: unplanned downtime, safety risks, and costs that could have been avoided.

What our customers say:
“Our unit drives maintenance improvements and helps implement new technologies we believe add value across all Boliden sites. We now have two Strainlabs applications running in Garpenberg. One is on the jaw crusher, where it’s extremely difficult to inspect or even detect if the bolts are loose – we want that data-driven. The other application is mobile – a rotating shaft on a vehicle that moves around. Our underground machines have good connectivity, and we want to explore how we can integrate bolting data with other data sources to gain an even deeper understanding of our equipment and its condition.”
Greger SpetzMaintenance Technical Manager, Boliden Mines“We aim for the most data-driven and smart maintenance possible, and we have an ambition for the facility to notify us when it needs attention. The bridge is designed to last 200 years – we have 175 years left, and we are already looking ahead to what will happen further down the road. We don’t wait for needs to arise; instead, we work proactively towards more AI and machine learning. We want to move away from traditional calendar-based maintenance, which is why this is an interesting pilot project.”
