The Advanced Fatigue Analysis: New Methods in Fastener Testing
Manufacturers, designers and fastener users want to know if their products will continue to perform well during everyday use. New testing methods are making it easier to verify the suitability and quality control professionals need from fasteners.
Complementing Visual Checks With AI – AI has numerous industrial uses because it can spot patterns in large amounts of data, supplementing human inspections. Although companies use advanced equipment to examine fasteners before shipping, those expensive machines cannot wholly replace visual checks. However, as people become tired and distracted, they may miss flaws that technology could detect. Some producers have combined manual oversight with specialized AI tools. A layered approach can make inspections more comprehensive and effective.
