JPB Système Receives Excellence Club Aerospace Award for Innovative Smart Program Sealing Technology

JPB Système has achieved success at the Excellence Club Aerospace Awards held recently in Toulouse, France. The manufacturer, which supplies the likes of Safran, GE Pratt & Whitney and Rolls Royce Engines, picked up the ‘Jury's Favourite' Crush of Heart trophy in recognition of its disruptive sealing technology, Smart Program. This patented solution improves MRO efficiencies by reducing the need to manually check the torque level thanks to touchless and wireless measurement of bolt axial load.

The Excellence Club Aerospace Awards jury was particularly impressed by Smart Program's innovative technology and user-friendly application, acknowledging JPB's commitment to advancement and the noteworthy contribution to the progression of the industry.


Smart Program comprises two solutions, Smart Washer and Smart Reader, which provide intelligent monitoring of tightening in bolted assemblies. This technology translates into substantial benefits, such as saving valuable maintenance time and money, improving aircraft availability, and enhancing air safety.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
