Automated Selection Support: RFID indicators must be matched to your shipment's mass and volume to ensure accurate gate-reads. View the ShockWatch 2 Selection Grid.
SpotSee® ShockWatch® 2 RFID – Automated Impact Monitoring (100 Pack)
ShockWatch® 2 RFID Shock Indicators provide clear, tamper-evident evidence of excessive impact. By combining physical monitoring with an integrated passive UHF RFID tag, these units allow for instantaneous digital logging of mishandled shipments as they pass through automated gates.
Advanced Automated Traceability
-
Digital State Change: Upon activation, the RFID chip’s memory bank updates its status. Your WMS/ERP system can automatically flag "Alarm" units during a bulk scan.
-
Passive UHF Technology: Battery-free operation using EPC Class 1 Gen 2 protocol. Works with existing handheld or fixed gate readers.
-
Gate-Read Efficiency: Scan entire pallets from up to 5 metres away without requiring line-of-sight.

ShockWatch® 2 RFID – Frequently Asked Questions
What does ShockWatch 2 RFID do?
ShockWatch 2 RFID combines a physical impact indicator with a passive UHF RFID tag. When the device activates due to excessive shock, the RFID memory updates, allowing automated systems to detect mishandled shipments during scanning.
How does the RFID function work?
If the indicator is triggered, the RFID chip changes state. When your pallet or carton passes through a fixed gate or handheld reader, the system automatically flags the unit as “Alarm” without requiring visual inspection.
Do I still get a visual impact indicator?
Yes. ShockWatch 2 RFID includes the same tamper‑evident red activation window as the standard ShockWatch 2. The RFID feature adds digital traceability on top of the physical indicator.
What G‑level should I choose for ShockWatch 2 RFID?
Use the same G‑level selection rules as standard ShockWatch 2. Lower G‑levels suit fragile goods, while higher G‑levels are used for robust or well‑protected items. Refer to the ShockWatch 2 Selection Grid for exact matching.
Does ShockWatch 2 RFID require batteries?
No. It uses passive UHF EPC Class 1 Gen 2 technology, meaning it is completely battery‑free and powered by the reader’s interrogation signal.
How far away can ShockWatch 2 RFID be scanned?
Gate‑read performance typically reaches up to 5 metres depending on reader power, antenna configuration, and pallet density. Line‑of‑sight is not required.
Which systems can read ShockWatch 2 RFID?
Any EPC Class 1 Gen 2‑compatible RFID infrastructure can read the tags, including most warehouse management systems, handheld scanners, and fixed gate readers.
Does ShockWatch 2 RFID reduce mishandling?
Yes. The combination of a visible impact indicator and automated digital logging significantly increases accountability and reduces rough handling throughout the supply chain.
