iGPS’ RFID Pallets Great in the Grocery Store

RFID Journal reports that a number of fresh food providers are beginning to use plastic RFID-enabled pallets made by Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) rather than wooden pallets without RFID tags.
Thus far, RFID has helped iGPS better manage the flow of its pallets, through more accurate and timely shipping and receiving records, while end users are still weighing the benefits of using the pallets’ embedded RFID tags for shipment tracking within their own management systems.
In the meantime, companies that ship food products say the pallets’ primary attraction is their plastic composition, which they claim is lighter, more hygienic and sturdier than wood, the Journal reports.
