Labelled to cut transit damage
July 1st 2008 Watt Solutions,
manufacturer of voltage
reduction energy-saving
devices for use on high
intensity discharge lighting
has seen transit damage
eliminated since it started
using special labels from
Lamerholm Electronics.
Watt Solutions purchased
the ShockWatch smart
labels along with
Companion labels and Alert
stickers. ShockWatch labels
act as a strong visual
deterrent to unacceptable
handling. They contain a
tube filled with red liquid
held in suspension. When
the device is subjected to
an impact exceeding a
specified G-level, the shock
disrupts the surface tension
of the liquid, releasing dye
into the length of the tube.
This creates a permanent
indication of mishandling.
Once activated, the device
cannot be reset.
Companion labels are
attached to items to be
shipped and contain multilingual
instructions for the
recipient on how to respond
when damaged goods are
received. Alert stickers, the
final part of the package,
advise both the carrier and
consignee that the
shipment is being
monitored. More articles from Lamerholm Electronics Ltd: |
