Modern manufacturing facilities are equipped with sensors, dashboards display real-time data, and predictive algorithms analyze thousands of variables per second. Yet across industries, from offshore

Unplanned stops take 3-9 times longer than planned maintenance windows, yet, many manufacturers still treat downtime as an inevitable cost of doing business rather than

How much does it cost when your production stands still? The answer depends on how much you know, before it happens. Every minute of unplanned
Say Goodbye to guesswork and welcome smart bolt monitoring. Maintaining critical structures has never been easier. Strainlabs eliminates the uncertainty of bolt preload monitoring, giving you insights with a plug-and-play installation. No complex setup, no special tools. From installation to monitoring, the entire process takes minutes – not hours!
– now testing Strainlabs! In an industry where unplanned downtime can result in massive costs and production losses, Boliden is leading the way by testing new digital technologies. Strainlabs’ innovative system for monitoring bolted joints has been installed on two different applications in Garpenberg as part of an ongoing trial by the central maintenance team.
Strainlabs is monitoring particle magnets installed on the railway track of the Öresund Bridge in a first pilot application. Øresundsbro Konsortiet is actively working with data-driven predictive maintenance on the well-known bridge and is now evaluating Strainlabs. With increased automation of maintenance routines, the need for physical presence on the track is reduced.
Seaflex is a pioneering company in marine mooring solutions, increasingly focusing on the expanding sector of floating solar platforms. Seaflex has partnered with Strainlabs to ensure the long-term stability of floating installations with efficient setups for remote monitoring.
Article published in Byggnadsarbetaren (“the construction worker”) exploring how sensor-equipped bolts developed by Strainlabs could have prevented a tragic elevator accident.
In bolt mechanics, Bill Eccles stands out with over 50 years of experience. As the founder of Bolt Science, he’s been pivotal in transforming how we approach joint integrity and preload. In this interview, he discusses standards, digitalization, and Strainlabs’ impact in the field.
Bolted joints and tightening technology have a major impact on safety and efficiency across industrial sector. In this interview, Markus Fischer, a connected expert in bolted joints tightening technology and standardization work, summarizes the ongoing efforts and discussion of modernizing the industry.
Recently the two Swedish companies Railway Metrics and Dynamics and Strainlabs have entered into a cooperation agreement that strengthens the possibilities of predicting arising faults in trains.
