Abstract

One embodiment of a fastening apparatus may include at least one of a fastener and a collar having a code with information regarding the fastener and / or collar. The code may be communicated to one or more databases of a computer. The fastener and / or collar may be tightened, located, maintained, and / or inspected according to the code and / or database information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent fastener installation system. Background technique [0002] Many existing fasteners (fasteners) and / or fastener washers (collar) are not marked with any manufacturing information such as number, batch number and manufacturer, but usually only the name of the provider. Typically, only the packaging containing the batch of fasteners carries manufacturing information. This information is often lost or must be manually transferred to manufacturing records when the package is opened. Many existing methods of verifying compatibility of fastener elements rely on manually checking tables to verify compatibility. Similarly, many existing methods of ensuring proper fastener installation rely on manually checking tables to determine proper loading settings. Also, many existing methods of locating, tracking and / or monitoring fasteners rely on the use of manual forms. However, manually entering or checking the for...
