Damage Detection Device for Transportation with SMS Alerts

Title: Damage Detection Device for Transportation with SMS Alerts Using Tilt and Vibration Sensors
Abstract:
Transportation of goods, especially fragile or sensitive items, often faces the risk of damage during transit due to various factors such as rough handling, accidents, or environmental conditions. Timely detection of such damage is crucial for minimizing losses and ensuring quality control. In this study, we propose a damage detection device equipped with tilt sensors and vibration sensors to monitor the integrity of goods during transportation.
The device is designed to detect abnormal tilting angles and excessive vibrations, which are indicative of potential damage or mishandling. Tilt sensors are utilized to measure the inclination of the cargo, while vibration sensors detect any sudden movements or impacts.
Upon detecting anomalies beyond preset thresholds, the device triggers SMS alerts to notify relevant personnel or stakeholders in real-time. These alerts enable immediate action to be taken, such as rerouting the shipment, inspecting the cargo, or implementing corrective measures to prevent further damage.
The proposed device offers several advantages over traditional monitoring methods. Its compact size and wireless connectivity allow for easy installation and integration into existing transportation systems. Additionally, the real-time SMS alerts provide timely information, enabling proactive decision-making and enhancing overall efficiency in logistics management.
To validate the effectiveness of the device, experimental tests were conducted using simulated transportation scenarios. Results demonstrate the device's ability to accurately detect and report instances of potential damage, thus improving the overall reliability and safety of transported goods.
In conclusion, the proposed damage detection device offers a practical solution for enhancing the security and quality assurance of transported goods. By leveraging tilt and vibration sensors coupled with SMS alerts, it enables proactive monitoring and intervention, ultimately minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring customer satisfaction in transportation logistics.
