Case Study: a leading web service provider reduces server damage in transit with SpotSee ShockWatch RFID

leading web service provider reduces server damage 40-60% with SpotSee

The customer, a leading web service provider, faced the challenge of ensuring its vast numbers of expensive data center servers and racks arrived undamaged from manufacturers. To prevent costly failures from hidden impact damage during transit, the company partnered with vendor SpotSee and implemented its ShockWatch RFID impact monitoring solution.

SpotSee's solution was to affix ShockWatch RFID passive tags to all shipments. These tags act as a visual deterrent, reducing mishandling by 40-60%, and provide an electronic record of any impacts exceeding set thresholds. This allows the customer to quickly isolate and inspect only potentially damaged units upon scanning, streamlining the receiving process and preventing the deployment of faulty servers.
