SHOCKWATCH
Shock Indicators

The implementation of monitoring systems offers a tangible ROI (Return On Investment) through the reduction of costs arising from damages and returns, which represents the most immediate benefit. The improvement of service quality increases customer satisfaction and strengthens corporate reputation. The devices provide objective documentation to handle complaints, facilitate the identification of unreliable logistics suppliers and allow for negotiating more favorable insurance conditions. Systematic data collection supports predictive analysis to optimize packaging, transport routes and storage methods.

Multifunction recorders represent the evolution of integrated monitoring, combining the control of shocks, vibrations and environmental conditions in a single compact device. These advanced instruments simultaneously record accelerations, temperatures, humidity and other critical parameters, providing a complete view of the conditions experienced by goods during the entire logistics process. The ability to correlate mechanical events with environmental variations enables in-depth analysis to optimize packaging and handling procedures.

Monitoring systems find strategic application in the pharmaceutical industry to maintain drug efficacy, in the food sector to preserve the cold chain, in precision electronics where shocks and vibrations can compromise delicate components. Other critical sectors include the transport of artworks, scientific instruments, medical equipment and all high-value products that require optimal transport conditions and complete documentation of their status during handling.

Transportation monitoring systems are advanced technological solutions designed to control in real-time the environmental and physical conditions of goods during the supply chain. These devices allow monitoring of critical parameters such as temperature, humidity, shocks, vibrations and tilting, ensuring the integrity of sensitive products and preventing significant economic losses through complete traceability of every shipment.

ShockWatch indicators represent the most advanced solution for impact damage prevention and shock control. These devices activate instantly when subjected to forces exceeding preset thresholds, providing immediate visual evidence of improper handling or accidental drops. ShockWatch indicators are particularly effective for protecting fragile goods, electronic equipment and precision instruments, making logistics operators accountable.

For all companies that need to guarantee to their customers services and finished intact products is very important to solve impact problems during transportation and storage of goods. Sensitive to these topics, Propagroup works successfully for the impact products realization, through production and selling of a new range of articles and systems that allow to limit possible damages caused by sudden movements or impacts during transportation, starting from Shockwatch till air bags. To carry delicate goods are available the following impact products: Propaflex, a product studied for steel and cable manufacturers, made of a smooth inner surface and an undulated outer one to reduce friction with other materials; Propafix, a self-sizing corner protection adaptable to all packing sizes; Propablank, dunnage bags to steady loads during road transport and in freight containers. Propack solves then every problem connected to handling and packaging disposal, it also offers a new line of dispositive, products and instruments to control every kind of material handling and, monitoring their movements, avoid potential damages caused by rough movements.

Controlled preservation system that maintains temperature-sensitive products within specific temperature ranges during transport, storage and distribution. Cold chain monitoring uses thermal indicators and temperature recorders to prevent thermal breaks that could compromise the effectiveness of drugs, vaccines and biological products, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.

Electronic device reusable or single-use designed to automatically record environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure during transport and storage. Data loggers generate detailed reports with charts and statistics to ensure regulatory compliance and predictive analysis of the supply chain, particularly critical for pharmaceutical and food products.

Internet of Things applied to monitoring systems for real-time transmission of environmental and movement data through 4G/5G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS connectivity. IoT monitoring devices enable remote control, automatic alerts, cloud dashboards and integration with ERP/WMS systems, offering complete visibility over the supply chain and timely intervention capabilities.

Tamper-proof shock indicators that detect and irreversibly signal potentially damaging impacts during transportation and handling of goods. When the device experiences a shock exceeding the preset G-level, the red liquid contained inside leaks out, visibly coloring the signaling area, providing indisputable evidence of improper handling and serving as a deterrent for logistics operators.

Ability to monitor and completely document the journey and conditions experienced by a product throughout the entire supply chain. Traceability in monitoring includes recording physical and environmental parameters, critical events, GPS location and precise timestamps, ensuring objective evidence for insurance claims, regulatory compliance and optimization of logistics processes through data analysis.

Precision sensor that measures acceleration along the three spatial axes (X, Y, Z) to detect shocks, vibrations and movements during handling and transport. The accelerometers used in monitoring systems allow to identify harmful events and correlations between mechanical stress and damage to sensitive products.
