An assembly monitoring system includes a receiver, an assembly, and a processor. The assembly includes at least one trackable component including a transmitter configured to deliver component identifying data to the receiver. The processor is in electronic communication with the receiver and stores authorized assembly configuration data associated with at least one authorized component. The processor is configured to receive the component identifying data from the receiver and to compare the component identifying data with the authorized assembly configuration data. The processor is further configured to generate a first improper assembly signal when the component identifying data does not correspond to at least a portion of the authorized assembly configuration data.
