BoltProof | Hardware Product Concept
BoltProof
Records bolt torque values and verifies correct bolt/sequence against digital work instruction.
Designed for Commissioning teams. Source profile: Idea / Research; feasibility: High; prototype complexity: Medium.
Project text and technical scope
Problem addressed
Current Construction / Industrial workflows often depend on manual checks, disconnected devices and delayed evidence.
Product vision
Records bolt torque values and verifies correct bolt/sequence against digital work instruction.
Hardware platform
Digital torque wrench + BLE + QR/RFID reader
Sensors and inputs
Torque, bolt ID, timestamp
AI and software
Torque sequence verification
User workflow
Commissioning teams use the device in-field; the system captures data, analyses it, requests human confirmation where needed and records the outcome.
Edge processing
Run latency/privacy-critical inference on device/edge; use server for fleet analytics, RAG, orchestration and reporting.
Connectivity
BLE
Mobile experience
Device pairing, live status, guided workflow, alerts, evidence review, offline sync and user actions.
Operations console
Fleet/device map, live events, health, incident queue, analytics, reports, configuration and audit history.
Safety and compliance
Calibration and approved torque procedure required.
Operational value
Tool + workflow license; value comes from measurable safety, traceability, downtime reduction or workflow automation.
Security and privacy
Secure device identity, encrypted transport/storage, RBAC, audit logs, minimum necessary personal data and configurable retention.
Commercial model
Tool + workflow license
Differentiation
Digital proof of tightening sequence.
Demo scenario
Show a realistic operator using BoltProof; capture sensor/device event → AI analysis → alert/recommendation → human action → report.
