Shock timer

**Overview of Shock Timer (Impact Detection Sensor)** The causes of accidents during transportation are varied, including insufficient packaging and the carelessness of handlers, which can lead to incidents. Particularly in the transport of precision equipment, the exterior packaging may be robust, making it difficult to determine any damage to the contents from the outside. This situation can delay the reporting of accidents and complicate the investigation of causes and the determination of responsibility, making it challenging to improve transportation quality. Why do the impact detection and tilt detection sensors currently in common use not lead to improvements in transportation quality? Previous sensors could detect whether an accident occurred, but they could not determine "when" it happened, making them unhelpful for investigating causes and establishing responsibility. This led to the development of the 'Shock Timer.' When subjected to a certain level of impact, the built-in timer stops, and the stopping of the timer records the occurrence of an accident (the timer cannot be reset). **Contact Information: Person in Charge: 0466-41-0265 (Kitagawa) / 0466-41-0267 (Omata) / 0466-41-0262 (Ishii)**
