Cannabis manufacturer fails compliance checks because unknown equipment drift (e.g., scale imbalance) causes physical inventory to diverge from METRC records between quarterly reconciliations.

Workarounds Described

• relies on quarterly physical inventory count as primary check
• only discovered scale drift after a failed inspection triggered a systematic investigation

Implied Software Gaps

• Proactive equipment drift monitoring and alerting system integrated with inventory and compliance records

ScaleGuard Compliance

A proactive IoT monitoring system that detects equipment drift (scale level, calibration) in real-time and alerts compliance teams before inventory discrepancies compound. Integrates with METRC to flag anomalous weighing patterns and automatically schedule recalibration, preventing compliance failures between quarterly audits.
