Practical applications

Impact indicators for monitoring transit damage

A shipment shock indicator provides a permanent indication that the selected impact threshold has been exceeded. It helps identify loads requiring inspection on receipt and document mishandling.

Electronics and medical equipment

Servers, laboratory equipment, diagnostic devices and precision components.

Machinery and energy

Motors, transformers, industrial equipment and heavy specialist loads.

Glass and works of art

Fragile items, exhibition equipment and high-value shipments.

ShockWatch Shipment Impact Indicators | LC KOLOR

A single-use shock indicator provides a permanent indication that the selected acceleration threshold has been exceeded. Mounted on packaging or directly on a product, it helps detect mishandling of electronics, medical equipment, machinery, transformers, glass and other sensitive loads.

ShockWatch 2 provides a simple visual check, QR and RFID versions support digital records, and MAG 2000 is designed for heavy loads. Clips, Tubes and Flex allow the mounting method to be adapted to the product's design.

ShockWatch 2 QR

Impact indicator with data logging via phone scan

How it works

A proven impact indicator combined with a QR code. Each phone scan logs the indicator status, date, time, location and serial number in the SpotSee cloud, providing a complete shipment handling history.

Application and use

For applications requiring a digital record of phone-based checks alongside the colour change. Arm and mount the indicator in the same way as ShockWatch 2. At each subsequent checkpoint, scan the QR code with a phone to record the status, time, location and serial number.

  • Read with any phone, no app required
  • Route and carrier data in the cloud
  • Documentation for claims
  • Single-use, battery-free

How it works in 3 steps

  1. 1. DispatchArm the indicator, attach it and, if required, link its serial number to the delivery note or consignment note number.
  2. 2. ReceiptThe recipient scans the QR code using a standard phone camera, without installing an app. The system automatically takes a photo and assesses the indicator's status.
  3. 3. CloudSpotSee Cloud shows the result, photo, date, time and location of the reading — ready to support a claim.

ShockWatch 2 — Single-use impact indicator for packaging

ShockWatch 2

Single-use impact indicator for packaging

How it works

A tamper-resistant indicator that turns red when a set acceleration threshold is exceeded. Each unit has a unique number, allowing damage to be linked to a specific shipment.

Application and use

For visible, single-use impact monitoring on a carton, crate or device. Before dispatch, arm the indicator and then mount it on a rigid, clean surface of the packaging, usually in the lower third and near an edge.

  • Sensitivities from 5 G to 75 G
  • On-site activation, tamper-resistant
  • Unique identification number
  • Works in cold stores and containers

MAG 2000 — Reusable impact indicator for heavy loads

MAG 2000

Reusable impact indicator for heavy loads

How it works

An indicator for loads over 230 kg, railway wagons and semi-trailers. Two sensitive magnets separate when an excessive impact occurs, showing its direction and severity. After inspection, the indicator can be reset with a key and reused.

Application and use

For heavy machinery, railway wagons, transformers and oversized loads. Mount the indicator on a rigid, clean surface of the packaging or product. The lower part of the packaging, near an edge, is usually preferred; ShockWatch 2 and RFID versions must be armed before dispatch, while Label is active immediately.

Questions to consider before choosing

Frequently asked questions

How do I select a shock indicator for a shipment?

Selection depends on the weight, size, packaging design and the maximum acceleration the product can withstand. An overly sensitive version may respond to normal handling, while one with too high a threshold may fail to register a damaging event.

Does a ShockWatch indicator protect a parcel from damage?

The indicator does not cushion impacts. It registers threshold exceedances, encourages careful handling and helps with inspection after delivery.
