Impact Recorders

ShockWatch Impact Recorders

Cost effective solutions to reduce loss due to cargo, vehicle and storage mishandling

ShockWatch® ShockLog impact and environmental recorders continually monitor and report the impact, vibration and other environmental conditions products are exposed to during transit, storage and operation.


ShockWatch impact recorder features

  • Record direction, amplitude and duration of impact forces
  • Data download capability allows for journey reporting and robust analysis
  • Optional sensors record changes in temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, tilt and roll
  • GPS / GPRS tracking module pinpoints the location of incidents and maps them to Google™ Maps
  • Available RF module allows transmission of data to an RF base station for remote monitoring

ShockWatch impact recorders affix directly onto your shipment, container, or vehicle to prevent the risk of damage loss during handling, storage and transportation. All products are rigorously tested, highly accurate and consistent and tamperproof. In addition, all recording solutions include a broad range of G-force activation levels, and can be part of a scalable program to address additional monitoring needs (like temperature, vibration pressure, etc) and may include impact indicators, accessories, and training and consulting services.

Impact Sensing for Shipping & Supply Chain Management

  • Tamper-proof design prevents concealment of activation without obvious evidence of interference
  • Compliant and field tested for use in multiple manufacturing, shipping and storage environments
  • Isolates when and where unacceptable conditions occur and aids in the identification of accountable parties
  • Allows for immediate corrective action prior to install of equipment or receipt of goods that may contain concealed damage
