Monitor and Document Impact During Transport
The Shock feature uses a high-precision 3-axis accelerometer in our devices to monitor impacts throughout your cargo’s journey, capturing shock incidents like container drops or rough handling.
Full Visibility into Cargo Handling and Mishandling
Damage to assets often goes unnoticed until the cargo reaches its final destination, making it challenging to determine when and where the incident occurred. With the Trusted tracking solution, you get full visibility into your cargo’s handling with the built-in shock sensor (also known as an impact recorder in some industries).
Key features include
- Real-time alerts when potential damage events occur
- Logging of shock events, even when out of network coverage
- Precise time, location, and force data for each event
This allows you to track impacts during the entire shipment journey (whether by rail, road, or at critical transit points, like harbors), monitor and manage handling at high-risk areas, prove where and when damage occurred to settle disputes, and create compliance reports.
How the Shock Sensor Works
The Shock Sensor uses a high-precision 3-axis accelerometer to record impacts and vibrations during transport. The X, Y, Z accelerometer can detect the direction of each impact. You can set a maximum threshold (e.g., 5 G) and receive real-time alerts when the threshold is exceeded.
With the shock sensor, you can
- Measure G-force impacts
- Identify the directions of impacts
- Receive real-time alerts and access historical data analytics
- Log the time and location of each event
This comprehensive data enables you to identify weak points in your supply chain, settle damage disputes more efficiently, and enhance accountability among handlers and carriers.
