FundamentalsThe future of logistics: connected pallets
Connected, sensor-equipped pallets are turning supply chains into real-time networks. Here is where logistics is heading.
ApplicationsSecuring high-value goods in transit
Real-time tracking, geofencing and tamper alerts give high-value shipments the security and chain-of-custody they demand.
OperationsSmart pallets in intermodal transport
Keep visibility across road, rail, sea and air with smart pallets that track goods through every handoff of an intermodal journey.
TechnologyThe IoT sensors that make a pallet smart
Explore the integrated sensors — GPS, temperature, humidity, weight, shock and more — that turn a pallet into a real-time logistics device.
OperationsImproving last-mile delivery with pallet data
Real-time pallet data sharpens ETAs, routing and proof of delivery in the costly last mile of logistics.
PharmaPharma logistics compliance made easier with IoT pallets
Continuous monitoring and tamper-proof records help pharmaceutical shipments meet GDP and cold-chain compliance requirements.
SecurityHow smart pallets help prevent cargo theft
Real-time location, geofencing and tamper alerts make smart pallets a powerful tool against cargo theft and diversion.
Cost savingReducing product losses and shrinkage in the supply chain
Smart pallets cut product losses and shrinkage by exposing where, when and how goods go missing or get damaged in transit.
TrackingReal-time GPS tracking of pallets: the benefits
Live GPS on every pallet gives accurate ETAs, prevents loss and improves customer service across the supply chain.
SustainabilityRecyclable plastic pallets and sustainability
Reusable, 100% recyclable plastic smart pallets cut waste and carbon compared with one-way packaging and disposable wood.
Cost savingHow monitoring can lower cargo insurance costs
Continuous condition monitoring and loss prevention with smart pallets can reduce cargo insurance premiums and claims.
Cost savingHow smart pallets reduce logistics costs
Smart pallets cut logistics costs by reducing losses, shrinkage and disputes while optimising routes and reuse. Here is where the savings come from.
ApplicationsImproving retail inventory accuracy with smart pallets
Automatic, pallet-level tracking keeps retail inventory accurate, reduces stockouts and speeds replenishment.
Cost savingCalculating the ROI of smart pallets
A simple framework to calculate the return on investment of smart pallets, from reduced losses to faster claims and better utilisation.
SecurityDetecting shocks and impacts to protect your goods
Accelerometers in smart pallets detect drops, tilts and rough handling so you can protect fragile goods and settle damage claims.
OperationsSmart pallet pooling and reuse
Track pooled pallets automatically to reduce loss, improve return rates and get more value from every reusable asset.
OperationsAchieving end-to-end supply chain visibility
Smart pallets close the visibility gaps between warehouse, transport and delivery, giving you a single real-time view of your goods.
Cold chainWhy temperature and humidity monitoring matters
Temperature and humidity are the two conditions that quietly ruin shipments. Continuous monitoring with smart pallets protects product quality.
OperationsSmart pallets and warehouse automation
Smart pallets feed real-time data into warehouse systems, improving inventory accuracy, slotting and automated handling.
FundamentalsWhat is a smart pallet and how does it work?
A smart pallet is a reusable pallet with built-in IoT sensors that track location, temperature, humidity, weight and shocks in real time. Here is how it works.
FundamentalsWooden vs plastic vs smart pallets: which to choose
Compare wooden, plastic and smart pallets on cost, hygiene, durability and the visibility that only IoT pallets provide.
