Do not choose sensor positions by fixed-point assumptions. Define load, plate and shelf layout, then assess suitable points in a documented trial.
Before mapping, define model, load, packaging, plate and shelf layout, and record sensor calibration status. Have the quality owner set locations and duration for the intended use. Collect simultaneous data with a representative load and assess variation; repeat after layout changes and tie acceptance to product procedure.
Document the study purpose and test configuration: container model, load, packaging, shelf, plates and route. Include sensor IDs and calibration records.
Let the quality team set monitoring points and duration from this configuration and the product acceptance criteria, not from a fixed template.
Run sensors simultaneously and link data to locations. Do not generalise results automatically to different loads or layouts; repeat after changes and update the approved loading instruction.
