I had trouble at a customers site with operators damaging machines so looked into fitting shockwatches the problem was has mentioned the truck would shut down and sound the alarm until reset which was abit inconvenient really. We ended up fitting a transmon unit which monitored the truck for impact and was programmable to slow the truck down each driver had a key code so the operator was monitored and if the machine had a impact it wouldnt shut down but the operator would have to explain if he hadnt reported it at the end of his shift this was mrked down and at the end of the month if his impact % was above the target his bonus was effected with a deduction, this i can tell you certainly stopped operators
abusing the machines so if a company wants to stop company damage hit the pocket but remember to reward to keep there respect.
