Situation

In 2009, FedEx launched a ground-breaking multi-sensor device called SenseAware. This new product could be placed inside a shipment and transmit near real-time internal package conditions. SenseAware had the potential to be a game changer for businesses, especially those that shipped health care items, perishables, high-value items, or financial data assets.
