Strainlabs systems

A complete IoT System

Strainlabs combines multiple technologies into a sophisticated and complete IoT system for remote preload monitoring, alerts, and insights.

Strainlabs Bolts

Connect an unlimited amount of preload sensing IoT bolts using patented LED-sensor technology to measure preload.

Strainlabs Routers

Pre-configured routers to receive and upload data results from Strainlabs Bolts to Strainlabs Analytics.

Strainlabs Analytics

Enables remote monitoring and alerts for Strainlabs Bolts. Aggregates quantifiable and actionable data.

The Strainlabs system

Unique & patented solution

Strainlabs sophisticated solution includes bolts with patented LED sensors that communicate via a router to Strainlabs Analytics.

Where tradition meets innovation

Traditional maintenance meets remote, automated and wireless condition monitoring

Bolted joints are a key source for inspections as well as reoccurring retightening and maintenance needs. 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.

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.
