Over- or under-tightening can cause the fastener or assembly to fail under stress, either immediately or later. When a fastener fails, it can have serious repercussions, including overloading other parts and creating a cascading failure or rattling free in a moving assembly like an engine. As they say, loose screws sink ships. Safeguarding against fastening failures requires you to deploy tools equipped with error-proofing capabilities that track each screw the tools fasten. When a fastening error occurs, the torque control system will detect it, flag it, and prevent the product from moving further down the line. IoT-connected automation tools improve production and quality by collecting and storing data as well as providing real-time transparency in a manufacturer’s assembly operations. Such real-time transparency enables quality assurance personnel to detect any fastening issues as soon as they arise.    **Adapting Manufacturing Area to a COVID-19 Environment ** The COVID-19 impact poses unique challenges for industrial manufacturers that require implementing contingent safety measures for safeguarding employees while balancing the needs of production demands. It is a critical time to explore a proactive deployment of automation tools to decrease worker density throughout the assembly area.   **Webinar # 1: Error-Proofing the Fastening Process and be COVID Compliant** - Control monitor and ensure screws are properly tightened - Program key parameters and sequences to control the tightening process  - Complete fastening data collection for traceability - Implement communication protocols for manufacturing line control - Ensure accurate and repeatable torque control - Meet COVID-19 compliance requirements by transforming your production space to achieve social distance mandates **Webinar # 2: Error-Proofing the Fastening Sequence and Tool Position** - Ensure correct fastener sequencing  - Use visual sequence guides to display drawings or photos - Prevent parts from leaving the production area with missing screws  - Monitor and control error-proofing and fastening sequence without the extra programming costs associated with PLCs **Webinar # 3:** **Bullet Proof** **Error-Proofing the Complete Tightening Process Control** - Implement multiple layers of error-proofing systems within manufacturing  - Ensure Error-free fastening and torque control achieved correctly  - Reduce or eliminate rework and warranties - Increase efficiency in manufacturing by having many products assembled at fewer stations **Shop Featured Products:** **EZ-TorQ III 300i Torque Analyzer** **EZ-Glider Position Control Torque Arms** **HDC35i Hybrid Torque Controller** ### Sign Up Now TORQUE PRODUCTS - [Torque Analyzers and Sensors](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Analyzers-and-Sensors) - [Torque Screwdrivers](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Screwdrivers) - [Torque Wrenches](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Wrenches) - [Power Assembly Tools](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Power-Assembly-Tools) - [Torque Multipliers](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Torque-Multipliers) - [Bits Sockets and Adapters](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Bits-Sockets-and-Adapters) - [Production Aids](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Production-Aids) - [Accessories](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Accessories) - [Error Proofing Aids & Tools](https://www.mountztorque.com/Product-Type/Error-Proofing-Aids-Tools) COMPANY - [About Us](https://www.mountztorque.com/about-us) - [Blog](https://blog.mountztorque.com/) - [Awards](https://www.mountztorque.com/awards) - [Careers](https://www.mountztorque.com/careers) - [Compliances](https://www.mountztorque.com/compliances) - [Core Management](https://mountztorque.com/core-management-team) - [Events](https://www.mountztorque.com/events) - [ISO Certifications](https://www.mountztorque.com/iso-certifications) - [Mountz Intranet](https://mountztorque.com/mountz-sales-intranet) - [Mountz Employee Center](https://mountztorque.com/mountz-employee-center) - [Quality Policy](https://www.mountztorque.com/quality-policy) - [Shop Mountz Apparel](https://stores.inksoft.com/shopmountz/shop/home) - [Torque Webinars](https://www.mountztorque.com/torque-webinars) CONTACT US - [Ask a Question](https://mountztorque.com/contact-us) - [Request an Appointment](https://mountztorque.com/contact-us) - [Request a Catalog](https://mountztorque.com/contact-us) - [Request a Quote](https://mountztorque.com/contact-us) - [Technical Support Request](https://mountztorque.com/contact-us) - [Establish Payment Terms for Your Online Account](https://mountztorque.com/paymentterms) SERVICE & SUPPORT - [Torque Conversion Calculator](https://www.mountztorque.com/torque-conversion-calculator) - [Wrench Adapter Calculator](https://www.mountztorque.com/calculations-for-torque-wrench-extension-adapters-and-spanners) - [Service, Calibration and Repairs](https://go.mountztorque.com/usa-service?_gl=1*bwn60t*_gcl_au*MTg5NDQxNTc1LjE3NjY1NTUxNjk.&_ga=2.111592644.1984556770.1766555169-1854918924.1766555169) [(408) 850-9978](tel:+14088509978) M-F 6am - 5pm PST Silicon Valley Headquarters: 1080 N. 11th St San Jose, CA 95112 Alabama Distribution and Service Center: 19051 Underwood Road Foley, AL 36535 International: [+44 800 014 8753](tel:+16692639800) [View All Our Locations](https://www.mountztorque.com/locations?hsLang=en-us)
