The COVID-19 pandemic underlined how at-risk our merchandise can be during shipping. Cargo theft spiked to 150% of normal, with items lost while trucks were idle or through fictitious goods pickups.
As cargo travels to destinations around the globe, it may encounter accidental shocks that cause damage or calibration issues to sensitive, high-value assets. The cargo might also experience delays or misrouting, preventing it from reaching its intended destination on time and in good condition. e.
Losses in time and money can be severe. This is where ShockLog 298 and ShockLog Cellular GL come in, providing real-time alerts if cargo receives damaging impacts and leveraging cellular and Wi-Fi technology to provide stakeholders with an accurate location of the asset throughout its journey. This information can greatly reduce costs by enabling better decision-making if and when damage occurs.
What is the ShockLog Cellular GL?
ShockLog Cellular GL enhances the ShockLog 298 by integrating a 4G LTE (3G & 2G fallback) mobile network for global connectivity. It ensures uninterrupted connectivity worldwide, no matter the condition of the local infrastructure.
Suppose your freight is stolen or damaged en route. In that case, you get immediate notifications to alert the appropriate authorities through your carriers or take the next steps to resend or repair your assets.
The ShockLog Cellular GL adds cellular connectivity to the ShockLog 298 impact recorder, providing you with 24/7 global data access and detailed impact analysis through the ShockLog software. You can receive an email anywhere there is cell service whenever an impact exceeds your established thresholds.
Key Features of the ShockLog Cellular GL Dashboard
ShockLog Cellular GL can collect data globally and display it in a centralized, easy-to-use SpotSee dashboard. Some of its key features include:
Environmental Condition Monitoring
The system provides real-time data tracking for temperature, humidity, tilt, impact, and roll. The ShockLog Cellular GL Impact Recording and Tracking System offers an advanced shock and vibration data logger (the ShockLog 298) with real-time tracking using advanced tri-axial piezoelectric accelerometer technology and sophisticated electronics and software. Industry-leading impact analysis also boasts the lowest noise floor on the market.
Customizable Update Intervals
You can adjust data updates from every hour to daily. In addition, if your cargo experiences a condition outside of the threshold limits that were set in the ShockLog Software, the ShockLog Cellular GL will both update the SpotSee Cloud and send you an email alert in real time.
Event Alerts
With ShockLog Cellular GL, you can receive instant email or text alerts for critical events such as damaging impacts or temperature changes. If your freight is being handled incorrectly in the supply chain or something else goes amiss that can threaten the integrity of your goods, you are notified in real-time.
Seamless Integration with SpotSee’s SpotSee Cloud Platform
The ShockLog Cellular GL provides a user-friendly centralized data display on the SpotSee Cloud platform.
First, you configure the ShockLog software on a desktop or laptop PC using the Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 11 operating systems. Then, you attach the ShockLog Cellular GL device to visualize your assets in the cloud and extract/examine data records from your sensors in the field.
Viewing reports on the screen and selecting the data to export to other applications is easy. From the SpotSee cloud you can download data related to the events/alarms and view data such as the location of alarms (impact, temperature, humidity, etc.) and alarms over time. To get more detailed reporting at the end of a journey, you can connect directly to the ShockLog 298 and download reports including events summary, event details, time slot, and log data.
You are always aware of the status of your assets with real-time tracking location and reporting capabilities.
Benefits of the ShockLog Cellular GL Dashboard
The benefits of deploying the ShockLog Cellular GL include:
- Cellular global data visibility and remote access
- Enhanced decision-making with real-time alerts
- Proactive risk management through environmental monitoring
- Around-the-clock access to trip data from anywhere in the world
- 18 months of recorder battery life

Applications Across Industries
The ShockLog Cellular GL technology is embraced by industries as diverse as:
- Power Generation
- Energy / Oil & Gas
- Aerospace
- Logistics
- Manufacturing
- Medical Equipment
- And more
This solution is particularly well-suited for monitoring complex and highly sensitive equipment during transportation. For example, in the aerospace industry, ShockLog Cellular GL can track the handling of satellite components or other precision instruments, ensuring they arrive in optimal condition for deployment.
Long-duration impacts and vibrations can change the relation of internal windings and damage the insulation in large power transformers. For this reason, the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) requires that this type of equipment is fitted with one or more impact recording devices (like the ShockLog 298) during transportation to determine if this type of damaging impact has occurred. The addition of the ShockLog Cellular GL accessory can reduce costs and help determine responsibility when damaging impacts occur.
In the medical sector, ShockLog Cellular GL is ideal for safeguarding machinery such as imaging equipment or surgical systems. Mishandling during transit can lead to calibration issues or performance degradation, which not only drives up repair costs but can also delay critical patient care. By providing real-time alerts for impacts or environmental changes, the ShockLog Cellular GL enables companies to address issues immediately and maintain the reliability of their operations.
Why Choose ShockLog Cellular GL?
ShockLog Cellular GL is the right choice if you want reliable environmental monitoring of your goods anywhere in the world at any time. It can save you time and money with real-time alerts, whether it involves an out-of-tolerance impact, a change in temperature or humidity, concerning tilt or roll conditions, or the fact that your shipment isn’t where it’s supposed to be.
