When will customers find out their critical assets have been compromised?

Currently, the condition of an asset during transport is not known until the asset is received and inspected at its final destination

Special Asset Real Time Tracking

The SPARTA team is proposing a special asset tracking system that will immediately alert a Sensor Management Center in the event a sensed parameter is beyond acceptable limits.
