Impact recorder wind turbines
Impact recorders for wind turbines
The transportation of wind turbine components, such as nacelles, gearboxes, and blades, is a critical and complex process. Any physical damage during the logistics chain—whether caused by impacts, temperature changes, or humidity fluctuations—can result in costly delays, compromised product integrity, and reduced customer satisfaction. To address these challenges, Mobitron offers the advanced Cargolog® Impact & Shock Recorder, a robust solution designed to monitor and document environmental conditions throughout the transportation process.
Why Monitoring Matters in Wind Turbine Logistics
Wind turbines are becoming larger and more sophisticated, making their components increasingly sensitive during transit. According to studies, two primary factors, G-forces and humidity, have been identified as major contributors to transport-related damages. For example, improperly monitored shocks or excessive moisture can lead to:
Micro-cracks in rotor blades
Mechanical failures in nacelles
Electrical issues in gearboxes
These issues not only impact the quality of the delivered components but also increase repair costs, delay projects, and reduce trust among stakeholders.

Mobitron’s Cargolog®: Your Trusted Monitoring Solution
The Cargolog® Impact & Shock Recorder provides real-time monitoring and documentation of:
-
Impacts and shocks (0.1-16g, ±2% FS)
-
Temperature changes (-40°C to +85°C, ±0.5°C)
-
Humidity levels (0-100%, ±3% FS)
-
Angle/leaning (±180°, ±1°)
-
Pressure variations
Equipped with built-in sensors, the device ensures precise measurements and long-term reliability. The recorder can be pre-programmed with acceptable thresholds, allowing you to identify any deviations during transit.
Additionally, the device’s battery-powered design ensures continuous operation, and optional protective metal casings provide durability even in harsh conditions.
Key Benefits of the Cargolog®
Impact Recorder
Transparency and Accountability
By documenting critical events such as shocks or temperature deviations, the Cargolog® system allows you to identify the responsible parties when damage occurs. It also provides independent data that can substantiate insurance and warranty claims, ensuring a transparent and accountable logistics process.
Real-Time Alerts with Cargolog® Online
The Cargolog® Online Cloud Service ensures 24/7 access to transport data through your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Notifications and complete data files are sent directly to your inbox, enabling you to react immediately to irregularities. This service supports monitoring multiple shipments simultaneously, offers GPS positioning to pinpoint incidents, and presents data in graphs and tables for easy analysis and reporting.
Increased Operational Efficiency
Real-time monitoring of transport conditions helps to optimize packaging and loading practices, ensuring that routes avoid high-risk areas. It also enables the implementation of preventive measures that reduce the likelihood of future damages, streamlining the logistics process.
Real-World Impact: Protecting Wind Turbine Components
In a recent example, a logistics team was tasked with transporting 365 wind turbine components across a challenging 1,250 km route. Throughout the journey, Mobitron’s Cargolog® system played a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of the cargo. The advanced monitoring capabilities allowed the team to pinpoint problematic road conditions where high G-forces were exerted on the components, threatening their safety. When alarm thresholds were triggered, the system alerted the team, enabling them to halt convoys and address the risks before significant damage could occur. This proactive and data-driven approach not only preserved the sensitive nacelles and other turbine parts but also ensured the project stayed on schedule. By mitigating potential damages, the team avoided costly repairs and upheld the trust of their stakeholders, demonstrating how reliable monitoring can drive efficiency and reduce logistical risks.
