With Strainlabs, some of these costly processes can be digitalized and easily integrated into a modern maintenance strategy. This will allow for more efficient time spent by maintenance teams whilst enabling a tighter inspection scheme and faster identification of bolts approaching a non-functional preload range. The system includes custom alerts and user-friendly dashboards to support monitoring and insights per specific bolt or joint and even machines and entire sites. For OEMs and service providers, Strainlabs Preload Monitoring can be offered as part as a service offering to enable maximized asset output & productivity for asset users. ![Strainlabs Analytics dashboard with preload and temperature charts](https://strainlabs.clearagency.ai/media/mwcic1xw-zbxxr0s2.webp) _Why smart bolts?_ ### Smart bolt use cases We provide preload sensing bolts where maintenance, safety or analysis is crucial. - Smart re-tightening — An application where retightening i s a recurring activity to avoid operational disturbances or when bolts must be reassembled after service in the field where no accurate tools are available. - Critical integrity — An application risk of lossing functionality (subsequently value) or suffering failure, momentarily or permantently due to incorrect preload in the bolted connections which keep it together. - Regulatory inspection — An applications that due to regulation must have its' bolts inspected to be approved for further operation. Inspections require specialists and cause downtime which is expensive. - Sustainable maintenance — Maintenance require parts, chemicals, transport, downtime, specialist staff, of which the need can be reduced if bolted joints can be remotely monitored and asssessed. - Zero accident assurance — An application where failure or disruption is of high risk and/or consequence and must be avoided to the greatest of extent. - Analysis & insight — An application where the knowledge of preload characteristics create technical or commercial value for itself or the process of which it is a part of. _Why Strainlabs_ ### When and where is it relevant to implement Strainlabs System? Due to the wide use of bolted joints across industries, Strainlabs can provide valuable & actionable data to virtually any business, process or asset.
