SpotBot GL monitors four primary shipment conditions:

• Tri-axial impact
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Location

By combining condition and location data in one device, SpotBot GL can help teams understand what a shipment experienced and where potentially significant events occurred.

Yes. SpotBot GL combines impact, temperature, humidity and location monitoring in one reusable device.

This can be useful for shipments where several conditions could affect the product or asset and teams want a more complete view of the transportation journey without deploying separate monitoring devices for each condition.

SpotBot GL is a connected condition monitoring device that transmits shipment condition and location data to the SpotSee Cloud at configured reporting intervals.

It can also provide alerts when configured conditions are exceeded, allowing teams to review significant events while a shipment is in transit.

Because routine data is transmitted according to configured intervals and connectivity availability, SpotBot GL should not be described as providing continuous second-by-second live tracking.

SpotBot GL uses GPS, cellular tower information and recognized WiFi networks to provide location information during transportation.

Combining location with impact, temperature and humidity data helps teams understand where significant shipment conditions or events occurred.

Yes. SpotBot GL can associate an impact event with time and location information.

When a configured impact threshold is exceeded, teams can review information about the event and where it occurred. This can help with shipment investigations and identify stages of transportation that may require closer attention.

SpotBot GL monitors impact in three axes and can be configured with impact thresholds based on shipment requirements.

When the configured threshold is exceeded, the event can be recorded along with information such as impact severity, direction, time and location.

An impact event does not automatically mean the product has been damaged. It provides evidence that can help determine whether additional inspection or evaluation is appropriate.

Yes. SpotBot GL monitors temperature during transportation and can be configured with high and low temperature thresholds.

If a defined threshold is exceeded, an alert can be generated so teams can review the event and respond according to their established logistics or quality procedures.

Yes. SpotBot GL monitors relative humidity in addition to impact, temperature and location.

Users can configure high and low humidity thresholds based on shipment requirements. Humidity monitoring can be useful for products, equipment and materials that may be affected by moisture or excessively dry conditions during transportation or storage.

Yes. SpotBot GL can provide notifications when configured alarm thresholds are exceeded.

Users can establish thresholds for conditions including:

• Impact
• High temperature
• Low temperature
• High humidity
• Low humidity

These alerts can help teams identify potentially significant events without waiting until the shipment reaches its destination.

Yes. SpotBot GL supports geofencing.

Users can define geographic areas and receive notifications related to an asset entering or leaving a specified location. This can add another layer of shipment visibility alongside impact, temperature and humidity monitoring.

SpotBot GL can store shipment readings when connectivity is unavailable and transmit stored information when communication is restored.

Temporary loss of cellular connectivity therefore does not necessarily mean that shipment condition data is lost.

Connectivity and reporting availability can vary according to network coverage and the shipment environment.

SpotBot GL communicates using global 4G LTE cellular connectivity and recognized WiFi networks.

Shipment information is sent to the SpotSee Cloud, where authorized users can review condition and location data through a web browser.

SpotSee Cloud is the online platform used to configure SpotBot GL devices and review shipment information.

Depending on the available data and device configuration, users can review information such as:

• Shipment location
• Impact events
• Temperature trends
• Humidity trends
• Alarm conditions
• Communication history
• Trip information

Data can also be downloaded to support shipment reviews, investigations and documentation.

SpotBot GL is a connected condition monitoring device that records shipment condition data and communicates that information to the SpotSee Cloud.

It provides ongoing measurements of impact, temperature and humidity together with shipment location information. Unlike a traditional standalone data logger that may need to be retrieved before its information can be reviewed, SpotBot GL can transmit data during the shipment when connectivity is available.

A condition indicator typically provides a simple visual indication when a defined condition has been exceeded. A connected shipment monitor records more detailed condition data throughout transportation and can communicate that information remotely.

SpotBot GL is a connected shipment monitor. It records impact, temperature and humidity, adds location information and sends data to the SpotSee Cloud.

The appropriate approach depends on how much information teams need to make shipping and receiving decisions.

Choose based on the decision you need to make from the shipment data.

A condition indicator may be appropriate when the main question is simply whether a defined condition was exceeded.

A connected monitor such as SpotBot GL may be more appropriate when teams need to understand conditions throughout transit, receive alerts or investigate when and where an event occurred.

Shipment value, risk, duration, product sensitivity and the level of documentation required should all be considered.

ShockWatch 2 QR is a single-use, battery-free impact indicator, while SpotBot GL is a reusable, connected multi-condition monitoring device.

ShockWatch 2 QR provides irreversible visual evidence when a selected impact threshold is exceeded, with QR-enabled digital documentation.

SpotBot GL monitors impact, temperature, humidity and location throughout transportation and communicates shipment information to the SpotSee Cloud.

ShockWatch 2 QR may be appropriate when teams need a straightforward indication of excessive impact. SpotBot GL may be more appropriate when teams need a detailed, connected view of conditions during transit.

WarmMark QR and FreezeSafe QR are single-use, battery-free temperature indicators. SpotBot GL is a reusable electronic monitoring device that records temperature as well as impact, humidity and location.

WarmMark QR monitors ascending time-temperature exposure, while FreezeSafe QR monitors descending temperature exposure. They provide irreversible visual evidence when defined conditions occur.

SpotBot GL electronically records temperature throughout transportation and can communicate shipment data and alerts through the SpotSee Cloud.

The right solution depends on whether teams need a simple indication of a defined temperature condition or a more detailed record of shipment conditions.

SpotBot GL and ShockLog Cellular GL are both connected SpotSee monitoring solutions, but they are designed for different monitoring requirements.

SpotBot GL provides connected monitoring of impact, temperature, humidity and location for sensitive and high-value assets.

ShockLog Cellular GL is part of the ShockLog monitoring platform and is designed for applications requiring the more advanced shock and vibration monitoring capabilities of the ShockLog system.

The appropriate solution depends on factors such as the asset, required level of shock and vibration analysis, shipment duration and monitoring objectives.

SpotBot GL should primarily be described as monitoring tri-axial impact, temperature, humidity and location.

For applications that specifically require detailed vibration monitoring and analysis, SpotSee offers ShockLog monitoring solutions designed for those requirements.

The right monitoring approach depends on what could damage the equipment and how much information teams need during transit.

For high-value assets vulnerable to multiple transportation risks, a connected device such as SpotBot GL can monitor impact, temperature, humidity and location in one device.

This can help teams identify potentially significant events, determine where they occurred and decide whether additional inspection is needed before installation, commissioning or use.

SpotBot GL can help identify where potentially damaging conditions occurred, but it does not determine whether a product was actually damaged.

Because impact and other condition data can be associated with time and location, teams can use the shipment record to investigate where a significant event occurred.

Product condition should still be determined through appropriate inspection, testing and quality procedures.

Yes. SpotBot GL can support pharmaceutical and life science shipments when its monitoring capabilities align with the requirements of the product and shipping process.

It can monitor temperature, humidity, impact and location during transportation, giving teams visibility into multiple conditions that may be relevant to sensitive products.

SpotBot GL does not replace validated packaging, qualification studies, stability data or established cold chain procedures.

Yes. SpotBot GL can monitor temperature during cold chain transportation and can be configured with high and low temperature thresholds.

Because it also monitors humidity, impact and location, SpotBot GL may be appropriate when teams need broader shipment visibility beyond temperature alone.

The appropriate monitoring solution should be selected according to the product’s validated requirements and the information teams need from the shipment.

SpotBot GL can be used to monitor conditions experienced by batteries and battery-powered equipment during transportation.

Its impact, temperature, humidity and location capabilities can provide visibility into several environmental and handling conditions that may be relevant to high-value battery shipments.

SpotBot GL battery life depends on factors including the selected reporting interval and operating conditions.

More frequent communication uses more power, while longer reporting intervals can extend battery life. Depending on configuration and operating conditions, SpotBot GL can support deployments ranging from months to multiple years.

The reporting schedule should be selected according to shipment duration, visibility requirements and desired battery performance.

Not necessarily. SpotBot GL records shipment conditions and transmits routine information according to configured reporting intervals.

Reporting frequency can be adjusted based on the application. Alarm conditions can also trigger notifications when configured thresholds are exceeded.

This distinction is important when selecting SpotBot GL based on a requirement for “real-time” monitoring.

No specialized app is required to access SpotBot GL shipment information.

Device configuration and trip data are available through the SpotSee Cloud web application using a compatible web browser.

No. SpotBot GL monitors and documents conditions experienced during transportation but does not physically prevent damaging events.

It should complement appropriate packaging, handling procedures, transportation controls and quality processes.

SpotBot GL can help teams move from knowing that a shipment problem occurred to better understanding when and where significant conditions occurred.

By combining impact, temperature, humidity and location data, shipment records can support investigations into individual events. Across multiple shipments, teams may also use the information to identify recurring patterns associated with transportation lanes, facilities or handling processes.

These insights can support decisions about packaging, handling, carrier performance and shipping processes.

Start with the conditions that could affect the asset and the decisions your team needs to make from the monitoring data.

SpotBot GL may be appropriate when you need:

• Impact monitoring
