ShockWatch RFID Tracking and Impact Indicators

ShockWatch RFID Tracking and Impact Indicators

With the ShockWatch® RFID (radio-frequency identification) tag, it’s nearly impossible for items damaged by impacts to get past the supply chain. Simply choose the appropriate impact threshold and affix the ShockWatch RFID tag. Then, each time that a package or asset is remotely scanned by an RFID reader, its condition is entered automatically into the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software or warehouse management system. Actually seeing the indicator is not longer necessary as it is automatically registered in your system.

By combining traditional RFID inventory management with impact-damage monitoring, managers can use their existing ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID infrastructure to Deter, Detect, and Diagnose damage throughout the supply chain.

Linking RFID damage indications directly into your enterprise resource planning (ERP), with a one digit change to your existing RFID software, or warehousing applications has three benefits:

1. It automatically identifies which products need inspections for damage and which are good to go.
2. It assigns accountability. Because you know where damage occurred, you can fix any underlying problems.
3. It automates reporting. Now you don’t need to rely on visually seeing an indicator. Simply scan the product into the ERP or warehouse management system, and it simultaneously reports any g-force threshold events. Thousands of packages can be read and evaluated for damage in seconds.

Monitoring packages in transit or storage with SpotSee is good business. It can reduce damage by 40-60%. Less damage means fewer repairs or replacements, fewer delays, less operations disruptions, fewer claims filings, and a better reputation. It is a proactive tool to help your business spend less time remediating negative events.

ShockWatch RFID tags are field armable, tamperproof, and turn red when an impact beyond a specific g-force threshold has occurred. Because they can be read remotely, they do not require line of site, and therefore can be placed inside a box, crate, or package.
