Shocklog 298 impact recorders now have cellular capability

Shocklog Cellular now in real time

ShockLog 298 impact recorders now come with a Cellular module, a cellular-connected accessory that is easily added, giving users real-time alerts, along with date, time and location, of potentially damaging events. Trip information can be accessed via a user-friendly cloud application from anywhere in the world.

With the financial impact of cargo loss exceeding $50 billion annually, the ShockLog Cellular module provides our customers with an ideal tool to identify and eliminate pain points within their respective supply chains with real-time visibility to the condition of their assets.

ShockLog Cellular combines the market-leading shock and vibration monitoring capabilities of the ShockLog 298 with low-cost global connectivity to deliver supply chain transparency. The ShockLog 298 leverages a proprietary piezoelectric accelerometer, which delivers industry-leading impact analysis with the lowest noise floor on the market. Now, this impact recorder can be connected to global cellular networks to send data to the cloud, meaning that unlike satellite devices, the ShockLog Cellular module can continue to provide data from inside warehouses or even containers.
