The certification of Intellifast by DNV to use their PMTS system enables the wind turbine supplier to use a design factor in the calculation of the joint which can lead to a lighter design and lower cost.

Intellifast has a system called PMTS or the Permanent Mounted Transducer System for fitting sensors to large quantities of bolts. The system can be supplied to bolt manufacturers at the point of delivery. Intellifast also has a system for fitting a data matrix code to bolts for easy reading of the bolt load on any loaded bolt which identifies that bolt. This is not expensive and is an invaluable tool for measurement of the clamp load quickly.
