Crack detection in fasteners is essential to ensure safety and reliability across a wide range of applications. Multiple technologies are available for this purpose, each with its own strengths and limitations.

Today, new artificial intelligence tools for image analysis offer a new opportunity. 

They allow the automatic detection of cracks that were previously undetectable by eddy current methods and challenging to identify even for the human eye, establishing AI as the state-of-the-art in fastener quality control.
