RD298 tri-axial
shock recorder:
The
RD298 ShockLog is a programmable, re usable electronic,
tri-axial shock recorder designed specifically to help
organisations to reduce the cost of damage to goods
whether in production, transit or storage.
A battery life of up to 12 months
allows you to understand the entire supply chain life
of your product and the conditions it experiences. More
importantly it tells you when incorrect physical handling,
poor quality packaging or inappropriate temperature
and humidity control will have damaged the quality of
your product, your reputation and your cash flow.
The comprehensive Windows? based
software programme allows you to programme your own
wake up, warning and alarm levels and frequency of data
collection. When a programmed impact level is exceeded
a visual alarm will alert you as well as storing the
data for future analysis.
RD298
ShockLog provides you with:
The when, where and how
Real time date stamping identifies when a shock has
occurred. When combined with the axis of impact, a clear
picture of the likely damaging event emerges allowing
effective remedial action to be taken.
Detailed arbitration evidence
ShockLog is vital for determining at what point during
a journey damage may have occurred. As the information
is clear, accurate and incontestable, it is invaluable
in arbitration by avoiding unnecessary delays in apportioning
responsibility.
A visible deterrent
The sheer presence of ShockLog acts as a clear indication
that your products are being monitored. By involving
your staff, carriers and customers in the monitoring
programme, inappropriate handling or storage can be
minimised.
A means to audits carrier and routing efficiency
ShockLog's sophisticated monitoring capability helps
to analyse the cause of persistent damage in transit.
Damage that could be avoided by a simple change of route,
handling procedure or even carrier.
An aid to intelligent packaging
design
Damage can be caused by many different factors according
to the transportation method used. ShockLog's detailed
record of movement, vibration, temperature, humidity
and pressure can identify how this damage occurred and
help with the development of the most appropriate and
cost effective packaging solution.
Reduced administration and field
service costs
Effective and timely identification of likely damage
reduces the time spent on site by your service and installation
teams and allows them to concentrate on revenue generating
activities.
Rapid identification of staff training
needs
Routine analysis of the ShockLog data will identify
potentially damaging handling or storage situations
before they become critical, allowing you to act accordingly.
An extension to your quality image
Your in house or ISO quality programme can now extend
beyond your despatch bay, whilst providing clear evidence
to your customer of the care and commitment you have
to them.
