Serialized-parts chain-of-custody, from production to dispatch.

A defence-aerospace supplier needed full traceability of high-value serialized parts moving between production, QA, secure storage and outbound logistics.

The challenge

What they were up against.

Lost serialized parts

High-value parts went missing between production, QA and storage.

Weak audit trail

Chain-of-custody could not be evidenced on demand.

Slow QA handoffs

Manual tracking delayed quality handoffs.

Our approach

Vendor-neutral, outcome-led.

RFID for serialized asset identity, BLE gateways for zone visibility, UWB for exact secure-cell movement tracking, and AI alerts for unauthorized movement and dwell breaches.

How we solved it

What we delivered.

  • RFID serialized asset identity
  • BLE gateways for zone visibility
  • UWB exact secure-cell movement tracking
  • AI alerts — unauthorized movement & dwell breaches
