Monument Suite / Hazmat/DG
MONUMENT SUITE · LI-ION BATTERIES & HAZMAT/DG
Li-Ion Batteries & Hazmat/DG bring different handling and transportation requirements. A battery on its own, a gas shipment and a damaged return cannot share a casual packing decision. Monument’s planned workflows keep classification, serial and dangerous-goods information close to the work.
In development · All capabilities described here are plannedMonument has no production customers yet. We are inviting conversations with prospective design partners.
The exceptions are familiar. These are the workflows Monument is being developed to support.
Planned item records would retain the reviewed DOT hazard class or division, UN/NA identification number, proper shipping name, packing group where applicable and handling attributes, so classification stays connected to packing and shipment decisions.
Planned document links would associate UN 38.3 test summaries and supporting records with the relevant battery types.
Planned shipping checks would use reviewed DOT/IATA requirements and carrier restrictions for mode, route, packing configuration and battery condition.
Planned serial history, exception holds and condition records would help separate damaged or suspect goods for authorized review.
Planned storage eligibility and segregation workflows would reflect facility-approved handling rules, with fire-safety requirements checked locally.
Connect supplier documentation, replenishment and purchasing to warehouse inventory. Planned SCM, Demand Planning and Procurement modules would use the same live inventory foundation, without a separate inventory system or data re-entry.
Shared inventory access, permissions and cross-module workflows are planned.
All modules and workflows below are planned. Scope and release availability will be confirmed with design partners.
Client inventory, serial history, condition holds and storage eligibility.
Reviewed shipping restrictions, document context and exception decisions.
Supplier information and purchasing connected to warehouse inventory.
Aurvandil’s founder brings experience in warehousing, transportation, demand planning and supply chain across food and CPG, beauty, Li-ion and electronics, furniture, mattresses and more. That background shapes the questions behind Monument: what the worker needs next, where a handoff breaks down and which exceptions need a decision.
DOT uses nine hazard classes, with divisions where applicable. The class is a starting point: the material, quantity, packaging, condition and transport mode determine the requirements. Planned workflows would retain reviewed classifications; they would not independently certify a shipment.
Explosives
Gases
Flammable liquids
Flammable solids; spontaneously combustible and dangerous-when-wet materials
Oxidizers and organic peroxides
Poisonous and infectious substances
Radioactive materials
Corrosive materials
Miscellaneous hazardous materials, including lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are generally Class 9. Class 2 covers gases: Division 2.1 flammable, 2.2 non-flammable and non-poisonous, and 2.3 poisonous. Product-specific classification and exceptions require review. DOT/PHMSA: classification definitions ↗
DOT’s Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171–180) govern covered handling and transportation activities, including classification, packaging, hazard communication, employee training and mode-specific operations. For highway transport, §177.834 addresses loading and unloading precautions, including securing packages and observing orientation markings; §177.848 addresses segregation of hazardous materials. Applicable requirements depend on the material and shipment. Lithium-battery provisions include §173.185 and UN 38.3 testing and test-summary requirements. Air shipments also need review against applicable air requirements, current IATA DGR and carrier variations. Facility storage and fire protection need separate review under applicable local codes.
