Sophisticated "environmental recorders" have been on the market for a number of years. These are essentially self-contained field computers which are used to measure acceleration and other parameters during transportation, distribution and related activities. They are fastened to vehicles or structures such as bridges, hidden in packages and subjected to the actual dynamic environment. Later, when connected to a host computer, the data is uploaded and analyzed. The goal is to reproduce the damaging elements of the rugged environment in a laboratory in order to improve the design of products, packages and systems. The challenge has been that these “environmental recorders” can be hard to use, deploy and understand.
