ShockLog Impact Recorder Accessory Reports on Products` Actions at Sea
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
The ocean waves can be some of the most destructive forces in nature, and even
the slightest turbulence can cause a ship`s cargo to barrel out of control.
Luckily, ShockWatch has an answer for those harsh movements on the high seas.
While ShockWatch cannot control the waves that go crashing into the ocean liner,
its new Tilt & Roll technology can monitor the effects of your shipment during
ocean travel. Ocean freight rocks and rolls with each wave, and the consequences
of this motion may result in unseen product damage, angry customers and lack of
accountability. With the new ShockWatch Tilt & Roll accessory for the ShockLog
Impact Recorder, information regarding the degree of tilt and sway can be
measured, recorded and analyzed to determine the potential for product damage. 

"The ShockLog Tilt & Roll accessory allows users to fully evaluate a product`s
journey, especially during the ocean transit," said Angela Kerr, product manager
for ShockWatch`s Shipping & Handling products. "A stormy, ocean ride has the
potential to lead to product damage. ShockWatch and its new Tilt & Roll
technology provide users with increased knowledge of what happened on the high
seas when no one was looking." 

The ShockLog Tilt & Roll accessory is a key addition to the overall ShockWatch
damage prevention portfolio, providing the next step in data collection,
information analysis, accountability and confidence. It is compatible with the
ShockLog RD298 recorder. Utilizing its own power source and transmitting
recordings to the memory of the ShockLog unit, the ShockWatch Tilt & Roll
extends the usefulness of the ShockLog product line. It`s a valuable new impact
recorder accessory helping companies record their transit environment and make
informed decisions regarding potentially damaging events. 

"With products like power transformers, tilt and sway can damage the unit`s
sensitive coils," Kerr said. "Knowing that the product was mishandled and
possibly damaged during transit can save companies the expense of installing a
damaged product. This accessory is another example of how ShockWatch allows you
to take control of the shipping environment - even when you can`t be there."
