12.3 Reusable Pallet Tracking
Use Case
Reusable pallets travel through the supply chain many times in its life time. If the pallets can be
tracked, they can be maintained in a better and manageable way.
Current Approach
Barcode system is used. Time of scanning the barcodes in large stack of pallets is long since
only one barcode can be scanned at a time and line-of-sight is required.
Suggested Approach
Tagging of reusable pallets allows tracking them throughout the entire operation and
maintenance cycle. This usage can even be extended to track movement of goods on the pallet
throughout the distribution cycle. This offers the pallet providers as well as the goods
distributors a complete visibility of their pallets and goods at every distribution point.
Recommendation
Powered by CSL technology, the CSL CS101-2reader has extremely high inventory rate which
can read the tags in large stack of pallets accurately. This ensures accuracy of data about the
pallets together with the goods.
