Deterrent labels reduce returns and lower costs
With the joint impact of the credit crunch and rising fuel costs, any company that is shipping goods needs to ensure that their consignments reach their customers in prime condition
For the first time, condition monitoring can now be achieved in a long life battery product.
The new g-rms (g root mean square) software shows the vibration and shock energy that the ShockLog has been subjected to, and will aid in the evaluation of the life expectancy of products being monitored.
This new condition monitoring feature also means that companies can record the relative measurements between modes of transport or systems used, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
One main advantage of the additional software is that it creates three new channels of information in the downloaded data files.
This data can be shown graphically, making it easier to interpret and providing the user with the ability to compare peak and g-rms accelerations across all 3 axes of movement.
With a Zoom and Scroll feature, an individual time slot or complete journey data can be viewed and hyperlinks allow 'one click' access to analyse any shock events that may have occurred.
The Memory Management Tool makes setting up and using the ShockLog a more versatile operation, providing users with the ability to determine how they allocate memory allowing them to make more memory available in the areas that give the most concern.
Additionally, the inclusion of the new auto-threshold facility assists customers in setting the alarm and warning thresholds by offering a facility to automatically increment the thresholds as events occur.
These two new software enhancements will provide companies with valuable additional information on the condition of their product throughout production, testing, transportation or storage.
The RD298 records when, where and how a product has suffered an event outside preset thresholds and real time date stamping provides detailed arbitration evidence.
It has been used throughout the world to safeguard aerospace products, power generation equipment, medical instrumentation and world-renowned artwork. Request a free brochure from Lamerholm Electronics ...
