product: ASPION G-Log 2 | sector: telescopes and special antennas
use case: quality assurance during the transportation of reflectorsExpand
"When it comes to reflectors for large earth-bound telescopes, the surface accuracy must be right down to a few micrometers - both after production and after multimodal overseas transport to the destination. Vibrations, temperature fluctuations and humidity can have a negative impact and damage the precision components, which weigh several tons. To prove quality, we rely on data from the ASPION G-Log 2 shock and climate data logger.
Based on the evaluations, we can simulate whether changes to the material may have occurred during transportation and thus detect hidden damage in transit. In order to exclude local effects, we install several data loggers at different installation points if required. Reading out the password-protected data via smartphone app by the customer is very easy and has become part of our quality assurance."

product: ASPION G-Log | sector: mechanical engineering
use case: worldwide transport monitoring of machinesExpand
"By now, the handling of the sensors and the software is a regular, automated process for us. In order to gain even more transparency with the data, we have already been using a data logger directly on the machine and a second one on an additional component, such as the control cabinet, for our shipments for years.
Our shipping staff knows exactly where and with which settings the G-Log has to be attached. For each machine type, we have predefined a suitable profile in the ASPION PC software, so all that needs to be done when deploying it is to select it - this is very easy to do."

product: ASPION G-Log | sector: mechanical engineering
use case: transport monitoring of shock-sensitive precision machinesExpand
"To monitor the transport of our highly automated precision machines for shocks and impacts, we have successfully relied on the ASPION G-Log shock data loggers for years. When shipping our machines worldwide, the necessary infrastructure for safe and transparent transport is not always in place. Especially in case of damage, the responsibility is usually not traceable. Previously used one-dimensional shock indicators provided neither time stamps nor evidence. For self-assurance and to find systematic weak points, it was necessary to break down this "black box".
During the extensive market research and intensive testing, the advantages of the ASPION G-Log became immediately apparent - the meaningful shock details in milliseconds and the consistently simple handling including problem-free installation have completely convinced our employees and customers."
Bernhard Sporleder, Project Coordinator
VOLLMER WERKE Maschinenfabrik GmbH
product: ASPION G-Log 2 | sector: electrical engineering
use case: worldwide transportation of switch cabinet controlsExpand
"We use the ASPION G-Log 2 shock data loggers for the worldwide transport of our switch cabinet controllers. Since these are very expensive and sensitive, we decided on the solution from ASPION - and have had consistently positive experiences with it. The very simple handling, the many configuration options as well as the monitoring of temperature and humidity have convinced us very much.
It is also extremely convenient that the recorded data is already read out by our employees on site when the controllers arrive at the customer's premises and sent to the company via the ASPION app. An evaluation with corresponding prefabricated documentation can be created immediately.
A very big advantage is also the replaceable battery of the data logger, which is a significant contribution to sustainability. The favorable price ultimately rounds off the system."
Ulrich Wiewel, Head of Test Field Quality Assurance
Keller HCW GmbH
product: ASPION G-Log 2 | sector: energy technology
use case: transport monitoring of circuit breakers in accordance with transport standardExpand
"After extensive testing, we recently started using the Aspion G-Log 2 sensor to monitor the global transport of our circuit breakers. The data logger has the ability to select the transport class 2M4 to 2M6 according to IEC 60721-3-2 Ed. 3.0 standard. If thresholds within a transport class are exceeded, these events are recorded and marked in red. This has the great advantage that it can be quickly recognized whether the standard has been complied with or not. Expert knowledge is no longer required.
The shock data logger can be easily read out with any smartphone. The data can be sent by e-mail. This helps us to quickly assess the transport regardless of distances. The sensor is easy to mount and has a very low weight. In addition, there is no need for further expensive calibration as with some other transport loggers."

product: ASPION G-Log | sector: defence
use case: transport monitoring of highly sensitive weapons systemsExpand
"In order to safeguard the transport of our highly sensitive NH90 weapon system worldwide, it is essential to record the g-forces acting on the aircraft to be transported in order to detect any possible exceeding of the limits. With the G-Log, for example, a load can be recorded in all axes over the entire flight and then evaluated. The data analysis is extremely practical and user-friendly thanks to the software supplied. Especially when an event is detected, it can be evaluated graphically and the corresponding acceleration can be determined. This enables a precise maintenance operation, so that the aircrafts are ready for operation as quickly as possible and can start their mission."
