Long term, the company would like to monitor every individual unit within their supply chain network on a macrolevel and be notified when something is damaged. Short term, they needed to start on a micro-level. Instrument panels are a very sensitive car part and were falling off their racks while being shipped between manufacturing plants. The component racks which held the instrument panels during transit passed impact and vibration testing, but shipments were still arriving damaged. With no way to tell what was causing the issue, the automotive company had to get creative.

After improving the way they shipped instrument panels, the automotive company simply adjusted the impact threshold settings on their SpotBot Cellular and proceeded to monitor other damaged components within their supply chain
