Intelligent Bolts provide real-time insights for critical connections

Imagine knowing the precise load in each bolt without sending technicians into the field, and receiving alerts the moment a connection moves out of tolerance.

Staytite's Intelligent Bolts, powered by InterBolt technology, transform fasteners into connected assets, giving you remote visibility and real-time data so you can protect people, equipment, and productivity.

Each Intelligent Bolt measures tiny changes in its length as it stretches under load, just like a spring. Sensors inside the bolt detect this elongation and convert it into an accurate measure of clamping force. Technicians can check bolt tightness instantly on-site via LED indicators or view live data remotely through the InterBolt platform, reducing manual inspections and improving safety.

During installation and maintenance, a technician can wake up the Intelligent Bolt and view its LED indicators to quickly verify whether the bolt is tightened to the correct preload. A flashing red LED indicates the connection is loose, while a green LED confirms the correct preload. This lets technicians verify bolt load in seconds without any tools.

When technicians aren't on site, the Intelligent Bolt provides remote monitoring through the InterBolt IoT platform. Every 60 minutes, each Intelligent Bolt measures its bolt load and transmits the data to the InterBolt Cloud, where it's stored, analysed, and visualised. This enables operations teams to monitor asset conditions around the clock without boots on the ground, significantly reducing maintenance costs, asset downtime, and health and safety risks.
