DALLAS: After Intel Corp couldn’t find a device that indicated when sensitive chip-making machines tilted too much during shipping, the company decided to build one itself.
The maker of microprocessors teamed up with Honeywell International Inc, which makes hand-held warehouse computers, to create a system that can monitor vibration, temperature, unauthorised openings, and a host of other things on pallets of goods or even individual packages. It is being tested by shippers including Kuehne & Nagel International AG, DHL Worldwide Express and Bertelsmann SE.
