Featured Theme
When Missing Pallets Burn Profits
Asset availability is a key driver for RFID and RTLS. This edition of the Track & Trace Digest features stories centred on this theme.
Pallets are the invisible backbone of global supply chains—moving food, clothing, and medicine worldwide. Yet millions quietly disappear each year, wasting over €450 million and exposing how fragile visibility still is.
That loss is preventable. Dive deeper in our Knowledge Article to see how modern pallet tracking systems help close the loop.
CUSTOMER CASE STORY
RFID Ensures Deliveries
A leading food logistics provider (3PL) now tracks every plastic RTI and outbound shipment in real time.
Accuracy is so high that customers only call when the goods—not the data—go missing.
SOLUTION
Returnable Asset Availability
Digitally managed RTI pools offer greater cost-efficiency and faster asset turnaround. Our tracking solution delivers real-time visibility into the availability of pallets, crates, and roll cages—reducing idle time and loss.
TRENDS & INSIGHTS
RTI Tracking Goes Mobile with BLE
As BLE-enabled tags become affordable, real-time tracking extends beyond depots and large pools. Even users with only a few returnables can now register and monitor them directly from a smartphone.
