Part of the Manufacturing series on the Mobtag platform.

In short: A module is both product and project—so the serial on the line had better be the one a remote operator can open in year five and see FAT, SAT, snags, and warranty without a ring-binder that never made it to a shared drive.

Tag the unit on the floor, not the day before the lorry leaves, so build QA, logistics, and commissioning run on a shared timeline. When evidence lives only in a project folder, you pay in on-site rework, insurance arguments, and a commissioning team that re-builds a pack the customer already thought was finished.

Phase Risk if the record is not on the item
FAT / build Retest debates with no as-built to point at
Transport / lift Damage and responsibility without photos on the unit
Commissioning / SAT Snag lists in email, not in the asset the operator owns long-term
flowchart LR F[FAT & build] --> T[Despatch & transport] T --> C[Commissioning / SAT] C --> O[O&M life on site] F --> D[All on one unit record] T --> D C --> D O --> D

Summary: Boring, complete handover is a competitive edge: one ID, one growing record from fabrication to O&M—without a last-minute pack sprint every time a unit ships.
