ShockWatch Unveils Industry-Leading Shock Data Logger to Combat Damage in Transit
ShockWatch in London introduces advanced shock data logger solutions to protect products from hidden transit damage.
- (1888PressRelease) August 07, 2025 - London, UK - ShockWatch, a London-based leader in impact and tilt monitoring solutions, has launched a new generation of shock data loggers designed to prevent concealed damage during product shipment. With its advanced line of impact indicators and tilt sensors, ShockWatch empowers manufacturers and shippers to ensure quality assurance from the warehouse to the customer’s door.
By visually and mechanically detecting mishandling in transit, ShockWatch’s range of indicators helps safeguard product warranties, prevent costly replacements, and influence responsible carrier behaviour.
London-Based ShockWatch Reinforces Its Mission to Protect Product Integrity
ShockWatch has been developing intelligent monitoring solutions for decades. Known for setting the benchmark in damage detection, the company’s impact indicators have become essential tools for logistics, electronics, aerospace, medical device, and industrial manufacturers.
With ShockWatch sensors, businesses can now actively track and respond to incidents of rough handling, helping to preserve the condition and integrity of high-value products during delivery.
Origins of ShockWatch Technology: From Rainfall to Revolutionary Impact Sensing
ShockWatch’s origin story began with an everyday moment. Ray Ruby, the original inventor, noticed how raindrops on his windscreen moved and broke apart under pressure. Inspired by this observation, he developed the concept of surface tension-based detection, which evolved into the first ShockWatch tube. Originally embedded in removable hard disk memories in the 1980s and 90s, the technology soon found new life in packaging sensitive equipment.
As bulky storage devices faded from use, ShockWatch repurposed its innovation to meet growing demand in transit damage prevention.
A Comprehensive Range of Impact Monitoring Solutions
ShockWatch offers three primary types of indicators, each engineered for different use cases:
ShockWatch Clips - Tamperproof Visual Impact Detection
These mechanical clips activate when exposed to excessive shock, turning bright red upon impact. Designed for tamper resistance and visual clarity, the clips are suitable for packages under 500 cubic feet and 10,000 pounds. Mounted on the product directly, they can detect mishandling even after unpacking.
ShockWatch Tubes - Precision Monitoring in Compact Spaces
Ideal for tight spaces, ShockWatch tubes are embedded discreetly within packaging. They’re tuned to respond to different G-force amplitudes, ensuring tailored protection based on product weight. Heavier items often require lower thresholds, while lighter goods may tolerate higher amplitudes.
ShockWatch Labels - Colour-Coded Protection at a Glance
These fully mechanical labels change colour when impact thresholds are exceeded. Available in five distinct colours, each represents a specific impact range, making it easy for handlers and recipients to assess if a package experienced mishandling.
Encouraging Better Handling Practices Across the Supply Chain
The presence of a ShockWatch indicator acts as a silent supervisor. Carriers are more careful when they know their actions are being monitored. This simple visual deterrent has a measurable effect on behaviour, reducing damage rates and improving supply chain performance.
Built-In Versatility and Supply Chain Integration
ShockWatch indicators are designed for seamless integration at the product or packaging level. Without requiring complex installation or calibration, they help maintain visibility into product safety. Whether embedded during manufacturing or applied before shipment, each unit helps track accountability and avoid disputes.
Why ShockWatch is the Choice for Smarter Impact Detection
Unlike generic sensors, ShockWatch products respond only when specific G-levels are exceeded—filtering out harmless movement while highlighting real mishandling. Each device includes companion tools such as caution tape and alert stickers, ensuring clear communication and fast claim resolution. With ShockWatch, product safety becomes a visible, trackable part of every shipment.
