SpotSee Launches ShockWatch RFID for Tracking Damage Through Supply Chain

SpotSee has launched a new device that combines impact-damage monitoring with radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. This new device, the ShockWatch RFID impact indicator, is designed to track damage through the supply chain and identify affected inventory, which is ideal for industries such as the automotive, medical devices/equipment and aerospace industries.

“RFID technology has already helped companies reduce inventory management costs by seamlessly automating asset identification,” said Angela Kerr, vice president, product portfolio, SpotSee. “ShockWatch RFID combines the benefits of traditional RFID inventory management with impact-damage monitoring, allowing users to leverage existing RFID infrastructure to identify and reduce the sources of damage in their supply chain.

ShockWatch RFID delivers all the benefits of a damage-monitoring program while also providing an electronic record of information in the user’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, warehouse management system or directly into the SpotSee Cloud. By gathering data throughout the supply chain, ShockWatch RFID helps customers quickly identify where damage is occurring, allowing users to isolate damaged inventory for further inspection and determine where the root cause is in the supply chain.

Understanding what, where and why damage took place, users can make informed decisions to deter mishandling, reduce the cost of damage and refine processes to reduce supply chain disruptions.
