Smart Torque Management: Technilog Unveils Qualitrack, the New Benchmark for Industrial Traceability
Technilog, a French software provider specializing in B2B data acquisition and processing solutions, announces the launch of Qualitrack — a multiprotocol industrial gateway designed to deliver comprehensive and intelligent traceability for connected torque tools. This innovation marks a major milestone in the digitalization of assembly operations and extends the capabilities of the DevI/O platform, already widely deployed in critical environments such as industry, transport, energy, and aerospace.Turning torque data into a performance driver
In modern manufacturing, every torque operation — whether performed with a torque wrench, a connected screwdriver, or a smart drill — generates high-value data. However, much of this information often remained underutilized, locked within proprietary or inaccessible systems. With Qualitrack, Technilog overturns this paradigm: data is no longer confined but flows freely, in an interoperable and exploitable format, in real time or deferred mode. The solution acts as a universal bridge between torque tools and factory information systems, ensuring seamless traceability, operational reliability, and enriched quality and maintenance processes. As Numeric Tools highlighted in its article “Smart Torque Management: Technilog Unveils Qualitrack”, this innovation “gives tools a voice” and places data at the heart of industrial performance.Comprehensive, continuous, and fail-safe traceability
Qualitrack fully leverages the native capabilities of connected torque tools. Instant data can be streamed in real time through standard industrial protocols such as MQTT, OPC UA, Open Protocol, or REST, ensuring full compatibility with existing IIoT architectures. This approach eliminates vendor lock-in and guarantees smooth communication between brands and tool generations. In parallel, each tool stores its own measurement history locally, ensuring delayed traceability in case of network interruption or mobile usage. Once connectivity is restored, Qualitrack automatically replays the recorded data with zero loss of information. This resilience mechanism ensures operational consistency — a decisive advantage in demanding sectors such as aerospace, automotive, or space manufacturing. Data collected goes far beyond torque values. Qualitrack also reports critical alerts such as detected shocks, calibration errors, or maintenance messages, and provides additional information such as calibration dates, validity thresholds, and mechanical event logs. This level of granularity enhances process reliability and enables early detection of anomalies before they impact production.“With Qualitrack, torque tools are no longer constrained — they can fully express themselves and share their data in real time or afterward. We enable manufacturers to unlock the full potential of torque data without being restricted by proprietary protocols, while ensuring continuous and actionable traceability.” — Frédéric Bouvier, R&D Manager at Technilog
Total interoperability: openness as a core principle
Built on DevI/O — Technilog’s multiprotocol communication gateway — Qualitrack integrates seamlessly with existing IT and OT systems. It natively connects with major industrial standards such as ERP, MES, SCADA, CMMS, and Business Intelligence platforms. No specific development is required: data streams are automatically mapped and converted into the expected business formats. This “open by design” philosophy enables connection of torque tools from multiple manufacturers without compromising data consistency. As reported by Disrupt B2B, Qualitrack positions itself as “a central software component in the digitalization of assembly lines,” unifying data exchanges between heterogeneous equipment and supervisory systems.Data security, reliability, and compliance
In sensitive industrial environments, torque data holds critical importance: it validates assembly compliance, ensures product quality, and traces every operator’s action. Qualitrack was designed to secure this data at every stage of its lifecycle — from the tool to the central databases. Data streams are authenticated and encrypted in accordance with current cybersecurity standards. Continuity is maintained even during network disruptions, and all records are timestamped and traceable for auditing and quality control purposes. This approach guarantees regulatory traceability compliance in sectors such as aerospace, defense, and medical manufacturing.A new lever for industrial efficiency
Beyond data collection, Qualitrack provides a comprehensive view of assembly operations, giving production and maintenance teams a powerful performance management tool. Historical data analysis helps identify trends, correct anomalies, and plan interventions before downtime occurs. As noted by IT B2B Univers, Qualitrack “ensures flawless real-time and deferred monitoring while enabling preventive and condition-based maintenance strategies.”An ecosystem praised by the tech and industrial press
