SHOCKWATCH RFID IMPACT INDICATORS

Description of the Shock watch indicator

The RFID shock watch indicator  features a radio frequency identification tag that is used to monitor items in the supply chain at all times and detect hidden damage.

To function properly, a suitable impact threshold has to be chosen for the RFID tag. In doing so, every time an item is scanned by an RFID reader, its status is automatically recorded in the company’s software or warehouse management system.

With the RFID Shockwatch, a more automated registration of the goods is achieved, rather than being done manually. This shock watch indicator allows for faster supply chain and damage detection, reducing damage by up to 40-60%. Consequently, it helps to reduce repairs and delays.

As soon as a product is impacted, the label turns red.

Due to its fast detection, Shockwatch RFID can divert products during shipment for inspection and re-ship critical replacement items to your customers faster and more reliably.
