ShockWatch® & TiltWatch® Implementation Guide

Monitor Handling and Reduce Damage with Visual Indicators

Implementing ShockWatch® and TiltWatch® indicators is a straightforward and effective strategy to monitor handling and minimise product damage during transit and storage.

ShockWatch® Impact Indicators

ShockWatch® indicators are single-use, tamperproof devices that adhere directly to your shipments. They provide immediate visual evidence of mishandling by turning from white to red when an impact exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Key Features:

  • Immediate Proof of Rough Handling: Visual indication deters mishandling and encourages accountability.

  • Variety of Sensitivities: Available in multiple G-force thresholds to suit different product sensitivities.

  • Tamperproof Design: Ensures the integrity of the indicator throughout the shipping process.

  • Easy Application: Adheres directly to the product or packaging.

TiltWatch® Tilt Indicators

TiltWatch® indicators are designed to monitor goods that must remain upright. They provide clear visual evidence if a package has been tilted beyond acceptable limits during handling.

TiltWatch® XTR:

  • Activation Angle: Turns red if tilted past 80°, remaining unaffected by normal handling conditions.

  • Tamperproof: Cannot be reset or tampered with once activated.

  • Easy Application: Adheres directly to the package surface.

TiltWatch® Plus:

  • Comprehensive Monitoring: Indicates the direction and degree of tilt, as well as complete overturn.

  • Activation Range: Detects tilt in 10° increments starting from 30°.

  • Inversion Indicator: Provides evidence of complete overturn.

  • Serialised: Each unit has a unique identifier for traceability.

Both indicators are part of a broader program that promotes careful handling, reduces damage, and enhances accountability among shippers, carriers, and consignees.

By integrating ShockWatch® and TiltWatch® indicators into your shipping and handling processes, you can significantly reduce product damage, enhance accountability, and improve overall supply chain efficiency.
