Incorrect handling during transport can damage your product

Incorrect handling during transport can damage your product, both visible as well as concealed damages, which can be challenging to detect. 

The Cargolog Impact Recorder System is a high-tech data logger that provides you with independent data throughout the whole logistics chain, data that could be crucial in a guarantee or insurance case. You can see all the impacts and vibrations that have occurred, analyze all the data second by second, and specify when the product was damaged. You can easily export all data to PDF or directly into Excel for further analysis. With the Cargolog Impact Recorder System, it is easy to distribute information to your colleagues and customers. By combining the measurement results from the Cargolog Impact Recorder System with other tests, such as Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT), you can decide if further inspections are needed, on-site or in the factory, before commissioning the transformer. 

Distribute and reduce costs 

Free-On-Board (FOB) is a common condition for delivery, associated with maritime transport, as defined in the Incoterms legal code. The terms and conditions of delivery are that part of the purchase agreement that regulates how costs and liabilities respecting the transport are to be distributed between seller and buyer. 

This touches questions about who will bear the costs associated with any transport damage and who will take out transport insurance. The Cargolog Impact Recorder System is used to see when, and to what extent, transport damage has occurred and, thereby, it makes it possible to determine who is liable for remedying the accident, how the costs will be distributed and who will bear the costs for any delay. 

The information can be crucial when it comes to compensation from insurance companies. By using the data collected over time, you can also review potential areas for improvement by identifying the best method of transport, routes, packaging, and storage alternatives. It means that the Cargolog Impact Recorder can be used with great advantage as a vital part of the company’s quality and environmental work. It is a long-term and reusable product that gives rapid ROI. 

The smart supervision of transformers – Information in real-time 

Cargolog is a cutting-edge system incorporating the most modern technology. With the Internet of Things (IoT), or connected products, you have new opportunities for monitoring your goods. A message about critical events is sent directly to your mail. 

The Cargolog Impact Recorder System, equipped with GSM/GPRS communication, monitors your goods, giving you information in real-time when the goods are subjected to unacceptable conditions. 

Using the cloud service, Cargolog Online, you can gain access to data wherever you are in the world. You, your colleagues or customer can review the measurement results, both in graphical and tabular form, without any complicated installations. Cargolog Online is easy to use and, with the personal login, you protect all of the data from unauthorized individuals. You can act immediately when your goods are subjected to incorrect handling and response to the mismanagement of transports before delivery to the customer. 

If, moreover, your data logger is equipped with GPS, you can also view the transport’s GPS positions for a specific event or the entire transport route. The GPS positions provide you with information if any delays in delivery are to be expected and if the transport is not going to plan. 

How Cargolog Impact Recorder System works 

The Cargolog Impact Recorder, data logger with inbuilt sensors, measures and records accelerations and impacts (0.3-10 G, resolution 0.01 G, 0.5-20 Hz, ±3.0 % FS). By using the data collected over time, you can also review potential areas for improvement by identifying the best method of transport, routes, packaging and storage alternatives. It means that the Cargolog Impact Recorder can be used with great advantage as an essential part. 

GPS position provides information on expected delay and deviation from the transport plan 

Register temperature (-40 °C to 85 °C ± 0.3 °C) and humidity (0-100 % ± 1 %) with high reliability and stability. The data logger can be programmed and adapted before each transport, allowing you to apply the measurement channels individually based on the transformer’s conditions, the method of transport and the period. The measurement results can be read off via wireless or hard-wired communication, which means you also have access to the information on your smartphone or tablet computer.
