Another Successful Manufacturing Day
Thanks to all our visitors who helped make this year’s Manufacturing Day another success! We had a great time showing our visitors our lean manufacturing process and sharing sneak previews of upcoming SmartBolts technology. Manufacturing in Maryland is strong and getting stronger.
Electrical Busway More Reliable with SmartBolts
Electrical busway is a modular power distribution product commonly used in commercial environments. Busway provides an efficient, reliable, flexible and safe method of providing electricity throughout a facility (think of busway as wire and conduit on steroids).
Need for SmartBolts Technology Apparent at Off Shore Wind Energy Forum
Update: On May 11, 2017, the Maryland Public Service Commission awarded offshore wind renewable energy credits to two projects to be built off the coast of Maryland. U.S. Wind, Inc. and Skipjack Offshore Energy, LLC are approved to construct 368 megawatts of capacity, together yielding over $1.8 billion of in-state spending.
SmartBolts: Keeping the Power Flowing for Over 20 Years
If you work in a facility like a Data Center there’s a good chance it relies on overhead electrical busway to keep the power flowing 24/7. And for the past two decades, many of the world’s largest producers of busway have used SmartBolts to keep critical bridge joints properly tightened. Achieving proper bridge joint bolt […]

Last week, CEO, Charles Popenoe, III and Chief Engineer, Chris Bunai visited Agrico Sales in New Orleans to oversee the installation of our heavy-duty SmartBolts. Agrico ordered hundreds of two inch diameter bolts between 14 and 16 ¼ inches long which will be on the job holding the massive slewing bearings together — the most […]
Machine Design Magazine Publishes “Lean Bolting” by Chris Bunai
Our very own Chief Engineer, Christopher Bunai, wrote An Introduction to Lean Bolting that has been published in Machine Design. In the article, Chris explains the Seven Bolting Wastes which are an adaptation of the Seven Manufacturing Wastes within lean manufacturing. The following is an abstract of the article: Lean manufacturing is an outgrowth of the Toyota […]
Salt Mine uses SmartBolts to Eliminate the Job NOBODY Wanted!
Imagine going to work one morning and having to crawl into a 2-foot wide gap under a 37 ton machine to tighten 50 bolts whether they needed tightening or not! That’s not the way anyone wants to start off their day, but unfortunately for the underground team at the Ojibway salt mine, this was the ugly […]

Stress Indicators Expands Production Capacity, Fastener Size Range
Stress Indicators has responded to increasing customer demand by significantly increasing its production capacity. The addition of a new CNC Turning Center is the centerpiece of the expansion, not only because it increases factory throughput for machining bolts, but also because it can accommodate fasteners as large as 2.5” (M64) in diameter. With the new […]
