Threshold State Detection
RBS31 Series
Provides omnidirectional tilt status according to the specified angle and is suitable for determining whether an allowable threshold has been exceeded.
01
Many Cargo Types Have Maximum Tilt Requirements
Precision equipment, machinery, liquid-handling equipment, and special packaging may need to remain within a specified orientation during handling. If the allowed tilt angle is exceeded during transportation, the event may need to be logged or an alert issued.
Key point: Define the acceptable cargo tilt angle first, then set the monitoring and alert conditions.
02
Fixed-Angle Sensing Is Suitable for Threshold Detection
If the requirement is only to determine whether a threshold such as 30° or 45° has ever been exceeded, an expensive continuous-orientation system may not be necessary. A fixed-angle tilt switch can serve as the event input, while a data logger or IoT device stores the event time.
A fixed-angle solution is suitable for determining whether a threshold was exceeded; for a complete motion trajectory, use a three-axis sensing solution.

Recommended Sensing Solutions
The RBS31 series can provide omnidirectional tilt status according to the specified angle. If tilt direction, peak angle, duration, or a complete transportation trajectory is required, a three-axis sensor should be used together with data logging.
Event Time Logging
Data Logger / IoT Device
Receives tilt-event input and stores event time information for traceability or alert functions.
Complete Dynamic Information
3-Axis IMU / Inclinometer Solution
Suitable for applications requiring tilt direction, peak angle, duration, and a complete transportation trajectory.
05
Key Design Considerations
- Define the allowable tilt angle and duration first.
- Vehicle vibration and short transient impacts should not be treated as tip-over events.
- If the system needs to determine whether an event has ever occurred, event latching or data logging is required.
- The sensor mounting orientation inside the package should match the cargo reference orientation.
