The ShockWatch® Label QR impact indicator is a modern solution for shipment monitoring of impact-sensitive goods. It combines the proven visual ShockWatch® warning system with digital QR-based documentation in the SpotSee QR Cloud. This makes critical impact events immediately visible on the package and easy to document via smartphone scan.
When the defined impact threshold is exceeded, the indicator window turns permanently red. This provides a clear visual alert at incoming inspection, handover or shipment control that the package may have been mishandled and should be inspected more closely. The QR code extends this visual inspection with digital traceability: each scan records condition, time, location, photo and serial number in the SpotSee QR Cloud – with no app, no battery and no separate reader required.
The ShockWatch® Label QR series is available in different sensitivity levels. This allows the correct impact indicator to be selected based on package weight, volume and required protection level. Depending on the version, the indicators are suitable for highly sensitive goods as well as for more robust shipments where only higher impact events should be documented.
- Control cabinets and electrical assemblies
- Mechanical engineering components and spare parts
- Automotive parts and technical components
- Medical devices and sensitive measuring systems
- Optical systems, laser equipment and sensors
- Furniture, glass, industrial ceramics and sensitive packages
- Aerospace components and other impact-sensitive goods
Application and Selection of the Right ShockWatch Indicator
To ensure that a ShockWatch® indicator does not activate too early or too late, the correct sensitivity should be selected based on package weight and package volume. The following selection table helps determine the appropriate impact indicator for your application.

The selection is based on the total package weight including packaging and the package volume in cubic meters. Select the relevant weight range and the corresponding volume range. The recommended sensitivity value for shipment monitoring is shown at the intersection. This makes it easier to match the ShockWatch® Label QR to the specific package and required level of protection.
General Function of ShockWatch Label QR Indicators
ShockWatch® Label QR indicators make critical impact events immediately visible and digitally traceable. The permanent red coloration clearly indicates that a relevant impact event has occurred. This supports faster decisions during incoming inspection and helps identify potential transport damage at an early stage.
The QR function extends the classic visual inspection with digital documentation. During each scan, the current indicator condition, time, location, photo and serial number are stored in the SpotSee QR Cloud. This creates a simple and continuous data basis for incoming goods inspection, quality management, claims handling and supplier evaluation.
- Immediate visual inspection at delivery, handover or interim check
- Digital scan-to-cloud documentation without an app
- Recording of condition, time, location, photo and serial number
- Greater transparency across the entire supply chain
- Faster decisions when transport damage is suspected
- Improved basis for claims, damage analysis and supplier evaluation
- Support in reducing transport damage and follow-up costs
