How ShockWatch 2 Impact Indicators Protect Shipments and Improve Supply Chain Visibility

Shipping damage is one of the most common and costly challenges for manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers. Whether transporting sensitive medical devices, industrial equipment, or high-end electronics, unnoticed impacts during transit can compromise product integrity, increase claims, and damage business reputations.

ShockWatch 2 Impact Indicators offer an effective solution for monitoring and preventing damage throughout the supply chain. These single-use, tamperproof devices provide a clear visual alert when a shipment experiences excessive force, helping businesses detect mishandling and hold all parties accountable from origin to destination.

What Makes ShockWatch 2 Impact Indicators Essential for Shipping and Logistics

ShockWatch 2 is a mechanically activated impact sensor designed to monitor shipments for potential damage. Each device is pre-set to activate at a specific g-force threshold, changing color from clear to bright red if that level is exceeded. The serialized design ensures traceability, making the indicator impossible to tamper with or replace without detection.

This system allows manufacturers and logistics providers to verify that products have been handled properly and to quickly identify where any damage occurred in the supply chain.

Choosing the Right ShockWatch 2 Model Based on Sensitivity

ShockWatch 2 offers multiple activation levels to meet the needs of various industries and product types. Selecting the correct g-force threshold is crucial to balancing protection without triggering false alarms.

• 5G – Maximum Sensitivity for Extremely Fragile Items

The 5G model is ideal for delicate products such as medical laboratory instruments, semiconductors, consumer electronics, and valuable artwork. It provides early detection of even minor mishandling, helping prevent damage to highly sensitive shipments.

• 10G – Reliable Monitoring for Moderately Fragile Shipments

Designed for products like glassware, optics, scientific equipment, and consumer electronics, the 10G indicator offers accurate detection of impacts that could cause hidden damage to precision goods.

• 15G – Suitable for Semi-Durable Goods

The 15G version is recommended for high-value electronics, IT equipment, medical tools, and industrial sensors. It provides dependable protection where occasional rough handling might occur but control is still necessary.

• 25G – Protection for Semi-Fragile Equipment

Ideal for industrial components, medical devices, hospital equipment, and heavy machinery parts, the 25G ShockWatch 2 offers robust monitoring for goods that require careful handling during shipping.

• 37G – Impact Detection for Heavy-Duty Products

Commonly used in aerospace, defense, robotics, and industrial sectors, the 37G model is designed for durable but sensitive items that must arrive without hidden structural damage.

• 50G – Monitoring Semi-Resilient Goods

The 50G version is suited for automotive parts, heavy industrial equipment, and military electronics. It ensures that shipments remain undamaged even when exposed to more rugged transport conditions.

• 75G – High-Impact Detection for Rugged Shipments

This model is specifically designed for heavy-duty industrial machinery, aerospace equipment, construction materials, and large automotive components. It activates only under extreme force, making it perfect for shipments that are robust but still sensitive to excessive impact.

Serialized Tracking for Supply Chain Accountability

Every ShockWatch 2 Impact Indicator is serialized, providing full traceability throughout the shipment’s journey. This feature eliminates the possibility of unauthorized resets or replacements, ensuring the integrity of monitoring from start to finish.

Serialization is especially valuable for industries where compliance and traceability are critical, such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and defense.

Applications Across Industries

ShockWatch 2 indicators are widely used across sectors that rely on protecting high-value and fragile goods. Key industries benefiting from this technology include:

• Medical and laboratory equipment

• Pharmaceuticals and life sciences

• Semiconductors and electronics

• Aerospace and defense

• Automotive components

• Industrial machinery

• Fine art and antiques
