ShockWatch Tilt Indicators

Affixed directly to your goods or packaging, these tilt indicators detect and record unacceptable tilting on goods that must remain upright. Simple, cost-efficient and highly effective, these attention-getting devices provide visual deterrents to unacceptable handling, no matter what you're shipping.

Removal of the adhesive backing automatically arms the devices. The self-stick backing utilizes the most aggressive 2 mil acrylic adhesive available, creating a permanent bond on all but the roughest containers — ensuring that once applied, the device cannot be reset, and the product cannot be tipped without indisputable evidence of mishandling.

Additionally, the Tilt Indicators contain a vacuum seal that eliminates any effects of humidity or temperature changes.

ShockWatch Tilt Indicator products include:

		TiltWatch^® XTR This tilt sensor turns red if the container it is affixed to tips on its side or is completely upended. TiltWatch will not activate under normal handling conditions or aircraft take-offs. Combine the TiltWatch with the TiltWatch companion Labels to provide an additional visual warning and instructions on what to do if mishandling occurs (purchased separately) Two TiltWatch are required for each package mounted on adjacent sides to monitor all planes

		TiltWatch^® Plus This indicator incorporates three separate indications - two that determine the exact angle of tilt and from what direction the shipment tilted, and one that indicates whether complete overturn has occurred - providing complete 360-degree monitoring. The TiltWatch Plus will not activate from normal handling conditions such as take-off angles. Two TiltWatch Plus are required for each package mounted on adjacent sides to monitor all planes

Tiltwatch Product Characteristics

Features Designed for Maximum Performance ShockWatch tilt sensors feature: Tilt detection for a wide array of product types and sizes Tamper-proof design prevents concealment of activation without obvious evidence of interference Easy installation and activation with removal of adhesive backing Moisture-proof vacuum seal allows for use in humid applications such as ocean cargo Inversion indicator that registers complete overturn Immunity to normal handling conditions and aircraft takeoff angles The ShockWatch Program A key element in the success of TiltWatch and TiltWatch Plus is the supporting program of companion tools. Companion labels, alert stickers, and caution tape affixed alongside the Tilt Indicator products are a highly visible notification to alert handlers that the product is being monitored and provide directions to receivers in the case of mishandling. When combined with the companion tools, these tilt sensors promote quality and accountability in the shipping and handling of goods. Implementation of this damage prevention program provides psychological reinforcement of proper handling procedures and changes the behaviour of material handlers. It provides a highly visible deterrent to mishandling throughout the supply chain. This program is most successful with collaboration from the carriers: the shipping, warehousing, and packaging departments. The ShockWatch program includes the following: Alert Sticker: Affixed to the Bill of Lading, it cautions the carrier and consignee that the shipment is monitored (included with TiltWatch purchase) Companion Label: Provides an additional visual warning and instructions on what to do if mishandling occurs (purchased separately) Click on image to enlarge Caution Tape: Provides a visual warning against mishandling Tape Length is 50mm (W) x 66m (L) Posters: Provides communications to carriers and customer receiving docks on the program elements Consultation: A ShockWatch representative will assess your specific requirements and work with you to develop strategies for success Ongoing Customer Support: ShockWatch representatives are always available to assist you in defining your program and ensuring its success ShockWatch alert stickers and caution tape available separately.
