In the wind energy industry, the correct tightening of bolts is crucial for efficiency and safety. This process involves ensuring the proper tension of the bolts that hold together the critical components of wind turbines. Digitizing this process not only guarantees perfect traceability and control of the tightening state but also ensures that the process has been carried out correctly, which in turn means savings, improved efficiency, and the reduction or elimination of incidents or technical stops.
Digitization is achieved by abandoning traditional tightening methods in favor of advanced systems like BoltPilot. With this digital transformation, a 30% increase in the speed of executing procedures has been demonstrated. Completing tightenings more quickly, while maintaining or even improving quality, frees up time to focus on other essential tasks.
