The SensorDisc connected washer revolutionizes the control of fasteners

This smart washer allows real-time monitoring of critical fastener parameters, ensuring optimum safety and increased efficiency on large-scale construction sites (building, civil engineering, pipeline, wind power, etc.). This technological advance promises to minimize the risk of fastener failure and reduce the costs associated with repeated inspections.

With a robust and resistant design, a very simple implementation and associated with an intuitive user interface, the SensorDisc easily integrates into existing industrial processes, allowing professionals to monitor the performance of traditional bolt assemblies remotely.

Construction under digital control

While structural health monitoring has become widespread and well accepted to ensure the safety and longevity of buildings and facilities, the condition of the fasteners in these structures is often not considered in its holistic assessment. This is not representative of the role that fasteners play, which are subject to high loads, wear and corrosion, yet with potentially disastrous consequences in the event of failure.

In practice, the assessment of the condition of bolts is usually carried out by periodic re-tightening and checking the apparent condition. This procedure is not only labor-intensive, but also does not provide more in-depth information on the condition of the assembly itself.

Furthermore, in many cases, inspection intervals are not tailored to the specific needs of projects and structures, but are based on general assumptions, which necessarily result from a compromise between excessive caution and acceptance of risks.

The solution to this dilemma is the SensorDisc from fischer that offers a fully integrated alternative for bolt load assessment. Not only can it be used as original equipment or replacement, regardless of the nature of the construction, but above all does not require any special tools for reading its data in real time. This is done with a regular smartphone via the fischer PRO App.

A robust, resistant and scalable design

Le SensorDisc is designed to withstand the harshest conditions encountered on construction sites. Its robust structure protects internal components from shock, dust and humidity, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments. In addition, the technology used guarantees product durability, with an extended service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

The establishment of SensorDisc does not require any major revision of existing systems. Thanks to its user-friendly interface and compatibility with many types of fasteners, it can be easily integrated into current business practices. In addition, software updates and the development of new features are planned, ensuring that the system remains at the forefront of technological advances and evolving user needs.

Ready to use in a few simple steps

The implementation of SensorDisc in a construction project is quick and hassle-free. In just a few simple steps, professionals can begin reaping the benefits of this advanced technology.

Le SensorDisc increases the required thread length proportionally to the height of the SensorDisc.

This must be taken into account in the calculations. The SensorDisc can be mounted under the head or under the nut.

In case of uneven surfaces or an inclined position of the fixing, the measurement accuracy can be improved by using an additional spherical washer.

Cleaning the installation area to ensure that the SensorDisc is properly installed and providing accurate data.

Initial calibration with the application by reading the SensorDisc in an untightened state (set the reference value to 0%) before it is installed.

Tighten the SensorDisc to the torque specified for the corresponding bolt implementation (reference 100%), then scan again to complete the calibration.

Then, through the dedicated mobile application, users can configure the SensorDisc in just a few clicks. Simply add a sitemap or image to locate the SensorDisc, name it, establish personalized monitoring parameters according to the specific needs of the construction site. The initial calibration allows you to define reference values. Once the device is activated, data begins to be collected and analyzed in real time.

Integrated data and device management

With the integrated software module, data and device management is centralized, facilitating management even in large projects. The myfischer and fischer PRO digital services offer a user-friendly interface for operating and monitoring sensors, ensuring easy integration with other systems.

Cutting-edge technology for real-time information

Le SensorDisc uses advanced sensor technology to collect critical fastener data such as tension, temperature and vibration. Equipped with NFC technology, the SensorDisc, energy-autonomous, ensures efficient wireless data transmission, eliminating the need for a physical interface. The information collected is instantly transmitted to a dedicated application, allowing users to visualize performance and quickly identify any potential problems. This proactive system replaces traditional inspection methods, which are often time-consuming and costly, by offering a real-time solution that improves responsiveness on construction sites and thus minimizes infrastructure downtime.

In addition, thanks to automatic alerts, professionals are immediately informed of any anomaly or variation in parameters.

New application horizons where safety and efficiency are required

Le SensorDisc is not limited to the construction or civil engineering industry alone. It also opens up new possibilities in various sectors such as the oil and gas industry where safety is a necessity, the transportation industry, where continuity of services is a must, or in the renewable energy sector, where the infrastructures to be controlled are often difficult to access.

In these areas, where assembly reliability is crucial, the capacity of the SensorDisc to provide real-time data enables preventive management of equipment. It allows maintenance managers to make informed decisions and prioritize interventions. By relying on digital advances, the SensorDisc positions itself as an essential solution for a future where safety and efficiency are at the heart of professionals' concerns. fischer thus asserts itself as a key player in the revolution in fastening technologies, committed to offering solutions adapted to the specific needs of each industry.
