Cargo-Environment-Measuring Service
This service consists of measuring temperature, humidity, and shock by attaching measuring instruments to a container or cargo.
You can obtain quantitative data on your cargo’s transport environment.
The data can be effectively used to improve packing methods and investigate possible causes of damage.
Summary
The service consists of the automatic measurement of temperature, humidity, and shock by attaching measuring instruments to a container or cargo. By following the continuous movement from vanning to devanning, it is possible to pin down the duration in which temperature and humidity conditions deteriorated and the transport sections where large shocks occurred; the findings are then useful in investigating the possible causes of any damage that happened to the cargo.
The service can also be used to study the effectiveness of desiccant agents and to obtain data that will help improve packing methods.

Comments from users
- When we transported heat-sensitive cargo, we could study the temperature environment in a trial transport and so learn about problem areas in advance of actual transport.
- We had been troubled with wet damage caused by condensation, so we took measurements at several locations inside a container and were able to pinpoint both the duration of and places where condensation was generated. We could obtain valuable data for studying effective countermeasures.
- When we measured shock to cargo in the past, when piled cargo had collapsed, we were able to find the points where shock was generated and its magnitude. The data helped us to find the causes of the collapse and to create specific remedial measures.
Notice
- The charge for this cargo-environment-measuring service includes fees for instrument use, data analysis, and the preparation of a report on the measured data.
- The measuring instruments can be sent to the address in Japan that the customers specify. If the instruments are used overseas, we ask customers to take care of the shipping and customs clearance procedures themselves.
- Installation and removal of the instruments is to be performed by the customers.

FAQ
- Q: Where should we install the instruments?
- A: The basic installation positions are as follows:
Measurement of temperature and humidity: the ceiling surface, in the air near the ceiling, on top of the cargo in the upper section of the container, on the cargo in the middle section of the container.
Measurement of shock: on the container floor next to the container door.
