Innovative load and transport monitoring: comprehensive protection during goods transport

In the world of trade and logistics, transport security and transport monitoring are of crucial importance. Whether goods are being transported by land, air or sea, proper securing and seamless monitoring is essential to prevent damage and ensure the cargo is in good condition when it is delivered.

Why is the transport lock important?

The transport of fragile, sensitive or tilt-prone goods along the global value chain in particular harbours risks across all sectors. Time and again, goods are damaged during transport, loading and unloading or due to inadequate handling. Hazards along the transport and delivery infrastructure, complications during transport or improper handling are increasingly fuelling damage claims and can lead to financial losses.

Methods of securing transport?

There are various methods of securing freight during transport:

Packaging: The use of robust packaging materials such as cardboard boxes, pallets and shipping containers can help to protect the freight from damage.
Load securing systems: Load securing systems such as lashing straps, tension belts, anti-slip mats and stowage brackets are often used to secure freight.
Expertise and training: Thorough training of transport personnel in correct transport securing is crucial.

And if something does go wrong?

If fragile, sensitive goods or goods at risk of tipping over are not secured properly or are exposed to complications during transport, the question of securing mechanisms and liability scenarios is often raised. There is a complex relationship between the traceability of the supply chain, cooperation with subcontractors and different geographical locations. Early detection of potential damage to packaged goods is also difficult before the load can be opened and inspected.

But we at elried offer a wide range of solutions for this with our range of transport control systems for monitoring your goods! Our indicators supplement the labelling on your shipping goods with visual instruments and make handling easier for you in the event of damage.

Tell Tilt – Clear tilt detection	Tell Shock – Precise shock detection
Tell Tilt gives you a precise indication of the tilt spectrum of your transported goods. This is a self-adhesive tilt indicator for transport monitoring. Tell Tilt gives an irrevocable warning if your cargo at risk of tipping has been unintentionally tilted by more than 80%, which could result in potential damage. In this case, the indicator window changes colour to red. To the product	Tell-Shock is a sophisticated shock indicator that tells you exactly whether your goods have been subjected to an unwanted force during transport. Precise sensor technology triggers a red warning fluid if the acceleration values are exceeded. This marks the exceeding of the force. This will show you on receipt whether the goods have been handled improperly. Available in the sensitivities: 25g, 37g, 50g, 75g, 100g (0.5-50 ms. shock duration). To the products
Tell Tilt Plus – precise tilt indicator	Tell Shock 2 – Advanced shock detection
The Tell Tilt Plus is the further development of the Tell Tilt and expands the functionalities of its predecessor. The innovative, self-adhesive tilt indicator of the latest generation provides detailed information about the tilt of your cargo from 30° to 80°, in precise 10° increments, as well as the direction of tilt. In addition, a complete 180° rotation is clearly detected and displayed. The tamper protection is completed by an anti-return device and an individual serial number with barcode. To the product	Tell-Shock 2 builds on the functions of its predecessor and extends the labelling to include the shock angle range. Activation is carried out by removing the protective film on the back immediately before attaching the self-adhesive backing to the shipping goods. A resolution takes place vertically in the impact angle range between 45° and 90° to the floor. The window facing the direction of impact turns red when triggered. Available in the sensitivities: 5g, 10g, 15g, 25g, 37g, 50g, 75g (0.5-50 ms. shock duration). To the products
