    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sensing impacts applied to an article during a production and transportation process. The systems and methods can include a plurality of impact sensors fixed to the article and a processor coupled to the plurality of impact sensors. Each impact sensor can be fixed to the article at a corresponding sensor location and the plurality of impact sensors can be configured to generate a plurality of impact measurements in response to an impact applied to the article. The processor can be configured to: receive the plurality of impact measurements from the plurality of impact sensors; determine, from the plurality of impact measurements, that an impact condition is satisfied; determine an impact location based on the plurality of impact measurements and the corresponding sensor locations; and determine an overall impact magnitude based on the impact location and the plurality of impact measurements.

    Abstract: Devices and methods for detecting axial forces applied to a container are provided. The devices can include a device housing, a container section, a force measurement sensor, and a processing section. The device housing can extend between a first housing end and a second housing end along a longitudinal axis. The container section can be mounted to the housing proximate the first housing end. The container section can have an open first section end and a closed second section end spaced apart along the longitudinal axis and at least one sidewall extending therebetween. The container section can define a cavity bounded by the first section end, the second section end and the at least one sidewall. The force measurement sensor can be positioned to generate the force measurement data in response to an axial force applied at the first section end.

    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for detecting axial forces, including residual forces, resulting from applying a crimp cap to a container are provided. The devices can include a device housing, a closing member, a capping section, a force measurement sensor, and a processing system. The closing member and the capping section can define a flange assembly to which a crimp cap can be attached. The force measurement sensor can be positioned to generate the residual force measurement data in response to an axial force resulting at the flange assembly of the container or at the first end of the closing member. The residual force measurement data can be generated once the external force applied during the capping process has been removed.
