Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for detecting alignment anomaly. A sensor enclosure can be translated along a fixture to a final alignment location on the fixture. A signal transmitted by a signal transmitter can be received by a signal receiver. The signal transmitter can be integrated into the sensor enclosure. The signal receiver can determine a signal intensity based on the received signal. The signal intensity can be determined based in part on the final alignment location of the sensor enclosure on the fixture. An enclosure alignment anomaly can be identified based on the signal intensity.
