SpotSee announces the launch of three new QR-enabled indicators: FreezeSafe™ QR, TiltWatch® XTR QR and ShockWatch® Label QR. These additions expand SpotSee’s growing portfolio of connected, single-use sensors that transform physical events in the supply chain into real-time digital data from the edge.
With this launch, SpotSee now offers a robust suite of QR-enabled solutions—including previously announced WarmMark QR (time-temperature indicator) and ShockWatch® 2 QR—designed to capture critical condition data from the first mile to the last mile using a simple smartphone scan.
“Every scan creates a new low-cost data point that can be delivered from the edge of the supply chain,” says SpotSee President and CEO Tony Fonk. “That visibility is transforming how our customers operate using QR-enabled solutions to identify issues faster, improve handling and reduce returns by up to 90%.”
Together, these solutions create digital data points at the edge of the supply chain, enabling companies to monitor temperature, impact and orientation in real time without the need for batteries, apps, or complex hardware. Each scan captures condition, time, date, GPS location and serial number, automatically uploading to the SpotSee Cloud to deliver actionable insights, improve quality, reduce costs, and increase confidence in delivery.
A Connected Ecosystem for Supply Chain Visibility
SpotSee’s QR-enabled portfolio provides a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional data loggers by combining:
- Battery-free, single-use indicators
- Smartphone-based data capture (no app required)
- Cloud-connected visibility across shipments
- Real-time insights to reduce damage, excursions and returns
The result is a unified platform that delivers end-to-end condition monitoring, enabling better decision-making, improved compliance, and measurable reductions in supply chain risk.
FreezeSafe QR — Connected Freeze Detection for Cold Chain Integrity
FreezeSafe QR is a descending temperature indicator designed to detect and document exposure to unacceptable low temperatures. When scanned, it uploads condition status along with time, date, location, serial number, and image evidence to the SpotSee Cloud for full traceability. This solution is ideal for pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, biologics, chemical and food shipments, where freezing can compromise product efficacy or safety.
Key capabilities include:
- Detects temperature excursions below defined thresholds
- Provides visual indication plus digital record
- Enables cold chain compliance and audit readiness
- Captures image-based evidence at scan
- Cloud integration supports compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements
Available Temperature Thresholds include 0°C/32°F, 2°C/36°F, 5°C/41°F, 10°C/50°F and 15°C/59°F.
TiltWatch XTR QR: Connected Tilt Monitoring for Orientation Control
TiltWatch XTR QR is a single-use, battery-free tilt indicator that detects when a shipment has tipped beyond acceptable angles. Each scan records condition, time, date, location and serial number in the SpotSee Cloud, enabling full shipment visibility and traceability.
Designed for sensitive equipment, appliances, medical devices and industrial shipments, TiltWatch XTR QR helps ensure proper handling throughout transit.
Key capabilities include:
- Detects tilt and improper orientation during transit
- Creates digital proof of handling at receipt
- Enables shipment-level and lane-level insights
- Serialized for full traceability across the supply chain
ShockWatch Label QR: Scalable Impact Monitoring at the Package Level
ShockWatch Label QR is a connected impact indicator that detects when a shipment experiences a shock event beyond a specified g-force threshold. The indicator turns from clear to red upon activation, while each scan uploads condition data to the SpotSee Cloud for analysis and reporting. Its low-cost, single-use design makes it ideal for high-volume deployments at the package or item level.
Key capabilities include:
- Enables package-level monitoring down to point-of-sale
- Provides real-time cloud visibility and analytics
Available Impact Sensitivity Levels/g-force thresholds available are 5 Gs, 10 Gs, 15 Gs, 25 Gs, 3 7Gs, 50 Gs and 75 Gs.
With the addition of FreezeSafe QR, TiltWatch XTR QR and ShockWatch Label QR, SpotSee continues to expand its vision of delivering data from the edge—where physical events occur.
By turning every shipment into a source of real-time intelligence, SpotSee enables customers to:
- Reduce product loss and damage by up to 60%
- Improve delivery performance and reduce returns by up to 90%
- Lower operational costs
- Strengthen compliance and documentation
- Increase confidence across the supply chain
