The IMPACT RECORDING DEVICE (IRD) is an advanced technology tool for monitoring potentially damaging impacts to your fruits, vegetables and food products. From the field to the processed package and all points in between, the IRD will identify sources of damage allowing you to make adjustments to handling systems and protect quality.
Series 500 IRD
The Series 500 Impact Recording Device has all the same great functionality of the Series 400 but has been updated for improved user experience and ongoing improvement. We've changed the connecting port to a Micro USB for easier communications and charging of the unit. Improved battery life and other features are all part of our commitment to reinvest in the technology and remain a leader in bruise evaluation in agriculture.
Force and Duration of Impact are the true measures of damage potential
Many devices on the market measure only the G force and ignore the equally important component of time duration. Not all impacts are created equal. Surface characteristics, G force and duration all contribute to understanding what impacts are of importance and which are less so to your product quality.
