Protecting and controlling goods during transport and export is the way to guarantee the good condition of the products until their reception by the final customer.<\/h2>\n

It is important to be able to guarantee that the goods are maintained under the same conditions as they leave the factory. In both nearby transport and faraway exports, products may deteriorate if they have not been properly prepared for shipment. There are various devices and materials that ensure good packaging for the preservation of goods during the supply chain.<\/p>\n

On one hand it is possible to protect the goods with special materials<\/strong> such as aluminum, VCI anticorrosives or moisture desiccants (both inside the goods themselves and inside the maritime containers for long shipments). On the other hand we have devices<\/strong> to externally control what has happened in the transport: the indicators or the dataloggers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

FAQS<\/p>\n

Protecting goods during transport: answers to frequently asked questions about logistics and exports<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

What risks can affect goods during transport and export?<\/h3>

Goods can be exposed to different risks during storage, handling and transport, especially when travelling long distances or passing through different environmental conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Humidity and condensation, temperature fluctuations, impacts, vibrations or tilting can affect certain products. For metal goods, the risk of corrosion may also need to be considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The protection strategy should be defined according to the type of goods, packaging, mode of transport, journey duration and expected conditions during shipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How can goods be protected from humidity and condensation during transport?<\/h3>

Desiccants and moisture absorbers can be used to control excess moisture inside packaging, boxes or containers and reduce the risk associated with condensation during transport and storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution will depend on the volume to be protected, the type of goods, packaging, environmental conditions and expected shipment duration. For exports by sea container, solutions specifically designed for this type of transport can be used, while desiccants in different materials and formats are available for smaller-volume packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How can metal goods be protected against corrosion during export?<\/h3>

When transporting metal parts, components or equipment that are sensitive to corrosion, VCI protection systems and barrier packaging materials can be used.<\/span><\/p>\n

VCI solutions are available in different forms, such as films, bags, paper, diffusers or oils, allowing protection to be adapted to different types of goods and packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

The choice should take into account the metal to be protected, the characteristics of the part, the packaging, environmental conditions and the expected duration of storage or transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How can I tell whether goods have suffered impacts or tilting during transport?<\/h3>

Impact and tilt indicators provide a visual means of detecting whether goods or their packaging have experienced certain impacts or tilting during handling and transport.<\/span><\/p>\n

These types of devices can be useful when the orientation or handling of the load is important for the product being transported. When more detailed information about events occurring during the journey is required, data loggers capable of monitoring impacts and other variables can be used.<\/span><\/p>\n

The choice will depend on the type of goods, the risk to be controlled and the level of information required.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How can the temperature of goods be controlled during transport?<\/h3>

Temperature control may require <\/span>thermal protection, monitoring or both<\/span><\/strong>, depending on the characteristics of the goods and the transport conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Insulation and isothermal packaging help protect goods from external thermal conditions. Temperature indicators and data loggers, on the other hand, can detect or record specific temperature conditions during the journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before selecting a solution, it is necessary to consider the product being transported, the required temperature conditions, the duration of the shipment and the level of information that needs to be obtained.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

What is the difference between protecting and monitoring goods during transport?<\/h3>

Protection and monitoring serve different purposes.<\/span><\/strong> Protection solutions act against specific transport risks, while monitoring systems provide information about or record the conditions to which the goods have been exposed.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a desiccant acts on the humidity inside packaging, while thermal insulation helps reduce the influence of external temperature conditions. Indicators and data loggers, on the other hand, can detect or record variables such as temperature, humidity, impacts or tilting, depending on the device used.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many applications, both strategies can complement each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

When should an indicator be used and when should a data logger be used for a shipment?<\/h3>

The choice mainly depends on the level and type of information that needs to be obtained during transport.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indicators provide a visual means of identifying specific events or conditions, such as temperature exposure, an impact or tilting, depending on the device selected. Data loggers record data during the journey and provide more detailed information about one or more variables.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, before choosing a solution, it is advisable to define which risk needs to be controlled, what information will be required when the goods are received, and whether a visual indication or a record of the transport conditions is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Can different protection and monitoring systems be combined in the same shipment?<\/h3>

Yes. A single shipment may be exposed to several risks and require different protection and monitoring measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, goods that are sensitive to humidity can be protected using desiccants and complemented with systems that monitor environmental conditions. Similarly, goods that are sensitive to handling can incorporate physical protection together with indicators or data loggers that can detect specific impacts or tilting.<\/span><\/p>\n

The combination should be defined according to the goods, packaging, type and duration of transport, environmental conditions, destination and the risks that need to be controlled. There is no universal configuration suitable for every shipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

How can I choose a solution to protect and monitor goods, and how can Sercalia help me?<\/h3>

The first step is to identify the risks that may affect the goods during storage, handling and transport. Humidity, condensation, corrosion, temperature, impacts or tilting require different strategies and, in certain logistics operations, it may be necessary to control several factors simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n

The type of goods, packaging, mode of transport, journey duration, environmental conditions and destination should also be considered.<\/span><\/p>\n

At <\/span>Sercalia, we provide technical advice<\/span><\/strong> to analyse these variables, identify risks and help you select the most suitable protection or monitoring solutions for each application, combining different technologies when necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n
