The idea of BoltSafe dates back to 1995. After years of development and research, the first sensors found their way to customers in 2001. A new company named BoltSafe was born. Our first couple of years were successful. Our sensors were mainly used for load testing purposes, to determine the right amount of torque or force. The word started to spread and in the years that followed our sensors found their way to customers all around the globe.
A growing number of customers also wanted to apply BoltSafe for permanent monitoring purposes. This means connecting a network of BoltSafe load cells and making it possible to read them out all at once. Throughout the years our in-house R&D department engineered several new readout options. Nowadays we can offer (standalone) systems, integrated systems, wireless 4G connections and RS-232 converters. Our latest development is the integration of Boltsafe into the LoRaWAN network. Our production facility located in Beuningen (the Netherlands) has a complete in-house production and calibration facility. Today, our bolt load cells are used all around the globe by a wide variety of customers. New innovations in the readout methods to help our clients acquire bolt load data even better are made every day.
