TORQUE FOCUS SMART AND CONNECTED TOOLS
Torque tools are becoming increasingly integrated in the digital working environment
DIGITAL TOOLS I
ndustry 4.0 solutions are playing an increasingly decisive role when it comes to making business processes more efficient. Anything that can be computerised will be computerised. This megatrend is already having a major impact on the development and use of hand tools. Torque tools, measuring and testing units will become increasingly integrated in the digital working environment and will communicate with one another. This does not only apply to large industrial enterprises, but is becoming more and more relevant for medium sized and smaller companies. Stahlwille has already positioned itself now to respond to these developments strategically and in the long term. The result is DAPTIQ, a range of integration-enabled solutions for use in Industry 4.0 environments that is being continuously expanded and developed. The focus is on minimising setup costs, reducing process costs and, in this way, accelerating processes while improving transparency.
Real-time response Using DAPTIQ solutions enables real-time responses to changes in production processes and in maintenance. Efficiency and process capability can be significantly improved but above all, secure automatic logging is guaranteed. DAPTIQ products can not only communicate with each other, but also with other systems in the specific working environment. The use of these solutions does not require any complex interventions in the IT infrastructure by the customer. Stahlwille has opted for open and flexible programming interfaces. The integration of DAPTIQ solutions in production

// Controlled fastener tightening is becoming increasingly important in production processes and maintenance. // Short training periods and high process capability Controlled fastener tightening is becoming increasingly important in production processes and maintenance, and the same applies to the requirement to record bolted connections and tightening parameters. Intelligent strategies can be implemented to meet this requirement using integration-capable tool and torque solutions. In connection with superordinate systems, DAPTIQ solutions require only short training periods and provide enhanced process quality. At Stahlwille, the customer is always the focal point. The electromechanical torque wrenches are the only ones on the market that provide the familiar feedback of the mechanical "click", combined with the advantages of a tool that is integration-capable.
