OEM Finished-Vehicle Yard — Pre-Export Coverage
An OEM finished-vehicle yard at a manufacturing plant — 14,000 EVs in rotation, no thermal coverage before this pilot. The threat model is closer to the bench than to the deck.
The OEM had thermal coverage on the production line and on the storage racks for cell stock. Between those two — the finished-vehicle yard holding 14,000 cars at any time, awaiting transport — there was nothing. They wanted to know whether the marine architecture would transfer.
Adaptation from shipboard
- Sensor columns instead of overhead mounting — full sight to the underbody.
- Longer baseline windows because the yard environment is more stable than a deck.
- Coarser per-row coverage rather than per-vehicle, with reflowed coherence.
Outcome
Both events were brought to the OEM's incident-response team and isolated before any visible signature. The pilot is being expanded to a second plant in 2026 H2.

Port Terminal — EV Storage Yard Monitoring
A vehicle terminal operator extended the same sensor architecture from cargo decks to the storage yard, where pre-load EV inventory had no thermal monitoring at all.
Battery Storage Warehouse — Adjacent-Market Pilot
The same per-vehicle baseline approach generalizes to per-rack monitoring in stationary battery storage. We ran a 60-day pilot to find out how well.
