Since 2014, Revotec has focused on creating smart products for engineering structures, achieving a contract with Austria's ÖBB in 2016 to assess aerodynamic loads on noise barriers. The challenge included continuous monitoring of preload force in fasteners as train speeds exceed 300 km/h.

Revotec, collaborating with Nord-Lock Group, developed Superbolt Load-Sensing Tensioners for this purpose. The technology enables remote monitoring of preload and alerts when levels drop, crucial for maintenance scheduling. The partnership enhances predictive maintenance capabilities, with applications extending beyond railways to various infrastructures.
