Abstract
An operating nut can include a body and a digital identification tag secured to the body, at least one of the body and the digital identification tag defining an outer surface of the operating nut. The body can define a central bore defining an axis and can include a working portion defining an end surface and a plurality of side surfaces defining a polygonal shape in a cross-sectional plane orthogonal to the axis; and a flange portion extending outward from the working portion in a radial direction with respect to an axis of the operating nut, the flange portion defining a first end surface and a second end surface, the central bore extending through each of the working portion and the flange portion.
