Project B – Smart Fastener Innovation

 

At the core of JCW Dynamics lies Project B, our flagship development that redefines how fastening systems are designed, monitored and maintained.

 

Unlike conventional fasteners, Project B integrates advanced electronics and sensor technology directly within the fastener body. This enables real-time monitoring of critical parameters such as:

 

Load & tension     –> Continuous measurement of the fastening force.

Shear forces         –> Detection of lateral stress conditions.

Vibration               –> Early recognition of oscillations and fatigue risk.

Temperature         –> Monitoring of environmental and operational impact.

 

All data is transmitted securely via low-power Bluetooth communication, eliminating the need for cables or external devices.

 

Why it matters

Industrial failures are often not caused by design flaws, but by undetected wear, overload, or environmental influences. Traditional inspections are costly, time-consuming and still leave risks uncovered.

 

With Project B, every fastener becomes a source of intelligence. Providing engineers and operators with actionable data, predictive maintenance alerts  and the ability to prevent failures before they happen.

 

Key Advantages

Integrated & protected –> All electronics sit safely inside the fastener body.

Wireless updates –> Real-time data via Bluetooth® without additional wiring.

Energy-efficient –> Designed for long-term monitoring with future options for wireless charging.

Versatile applications –> From aerospace to railways, wind turbines to offshore platforms, automotive to heavy machinery.

 

Market Potential

Project B is not a niche improvement. It has the potential to become a new global standard in structural health monitoring and Industry 4.0 applications.

 

We see strong potential in industries such as:

Aerospace & space technology

Automotive & motorsport

Wind energy & offshore infrastructure

Railway systems & heavy industry

Civil engineering – bridges & large-scale infrastructure
