They were running about 100 mobile devices for an automation project. The setup? A messy stack of plastic acrylic boards, a nightmare web of USB cables, and standard wall chargers plugged into cheap power strips. Within ten minutes, I could smell the hot plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half of their phone batteries were swollen like balloons, and their disconnect rate was hovering around 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As someone who spends every day on the manufacturing floor designing and testing mobile device management hardware, I see this all the time.
