London, UK - June 30, 2025 - ShockWatch, a pioneer in damage prevention solutions, is reinforcing its position as a leader in logistics quality assurance with its advanced range of mechanical impact indicators. Operating from London, the company continues to redefine supply chain accountability through innovative sensor technology that ensures goods arrive safely and damage-free.

ShockWatch impact indicators protect a product’s warranty status, influence carrier behaviour, and eliminate concealed transit damage by visibly detecting improper handling during transportation. These solutions provide manufacturers and distributors with an essential line of defence, reducing loss, disputes, and repair costs.

The Legacy and Innovation of ShockWatch

ShockWatch originated from a simple observation. When inventor Ray Ruby noticed how raindrops broke on his windscreen while braking, he saw the potential for a sensor based on surface tension. That insight led to the creation of the first ShockWatch tube—initially used in protecting large disk drives in the 1980s. As those technologies evolved, the application of ShockWatch sensors shifted to a broader focus: protecting goods in transit. Today, ShockWatch.co.uk continues that legacy from its base in London, innovating practical, highly visible damage detection systems.

Industry-Leading Product Lineup

ShockWatch offers three core solutions: Clips, Tubes, and Labels. Each is built for specific handling conditions and integrates seamlessly into manufacturing and packaging processes.

ShockWatch Clips

These tamperproof, mechanical devices mount directly onto products and turn bright red if exposed to impact. Ideal for items up to 10,000 pounds and 500 cubic feet, the clips are available in multiple sensitivity levels to match the required fragility of the shipment.

ShockWatch Tubes

Compact and designed for limited spaces, the tubes are embedded directly into packaging. Their performance varies based on impact amplitude, accommodating both heavy and lightweight products. Each tube activates when a preset G-level is surpassed, offering high precision with no power requirement.

ShockWatch Labels

Fully mechanical and easy to read, the labels activate when a threshold level of force is exceeded. Available in five color-coded sensitivities, they allow fast visual inspection at any checkpoint. The labels are applied externally, providing clear handling oversight throughout the logistics chain.

Applications Across Critical Sectors

ShockWatch indicators are vital in industries where product integrity is critical, such as medical technology, aerospace components, electronic systems, and industrial machinery. They help ensure that sensitive equipment reaches its destination in original condition, avoiding disruption and costly replacements.

Built for Oversight, Designed for Prevention

ShockWatch devices influence carrier behaviour by increasing visibility of handling. Each product includes alert stickers, caution tape, and companion labels that notify handlers and receivers of sensor usage. This visibility reduces careless handling and enables immediate action in the event of mishandling.

Why Choose ShockWatch

ShockWatch delivers simple, mechanical reliability without the complexity of electronic systems. Their impact indicators are trusted for their accuracy, tamperproof design, and ease of use. Whether integrated during production or applied during packing, they provide essential protection for high-value goods in transit.
