Smart Program

DESCRIPTION

In the industrial sector, assemblies face extreme conditions, including vibrations, repeated stress, temperature variations and shocks, often leading to nut loosening. Industries typically investigate to solutions like bolt locking or implement periodic maintenance to avoid accidents and potential injuries, incurring significant down time and costs.

JPB Système has designed and produced a dedicated sensor that monitors the tension in your assembly in real-time. Whether you deal with critical fasteners requiring periodic torque checks, face challenges with preventive maintenance, or difficulties accessing fasteners, our Smart Program solution offers a cost-effective and time-saving approach. It automatically records tension, enabling a shift towards predictive maintenance.

With our solution, you can eliminate routine checks and tighten fasteners only when necessary, optimizing efficiency and reducing costs.

JPB Système has developed specialized strain gauges that enable the size reduction of the sensor. Installing the sensor in your assembly is straightforward. The sensor is equipped with smart electronics that process and convert measurements into a robust signal, unaffected by communication distance or temperature variations. This ensures a high level of accuracy across the entire operating range.

To complement this technology, JPB Système has also developed a data acquisition system and display solutions tailored to your specific needs:

TOUCH

RFiD SMART WASHER & READER

• Manual control

• Suitable in safety-sensitive environment (not connected to the Internet)

TOUCH

WIRED SMART WASHER & APP

• Automatic and remote control

• Data available at any time (IoT)

Place the Smart Washer on the non-rotating part of the fastener, such as the screw head or nut. Tighten the bolt using your torque wrench as usual - there is no need to change your torque process.

Once the bolt is properly tightened, establish the '100%' level using the reader or the app. At any point, you can check the tension variation in the fastener: perform a manual check with the reader (RFiD Smart Washer) or a manual/automatic and remote check with the app (Wired Smart Washer).

“By developing our Smart Program with users, we addressed some important observations and integrated appropriate features in our tension sensor to further improve its functionalities. This collaborative development improves significantly the accuracy and safety across MRO operations”
