Digitalisation of plastic pallets

Challenge
A global manufacturer of reusable packaging, wants to expand its product portfolio and turn UPAL plastic pallets into smart information carriers.
Plastic pallets are load carriers with a multitude of advantages.
Easy to clean, suitable for food areas, clean room conditions and for use under special hygiene requirements. They are robust, resilient, have a constant tare and a significantly longer service life than wooden pallets.
As these pallets are more expensive than wooden pallets, their digitalisation is intended to offer customers additional added value.
- Development of a sensor system for direct installation in plastic pallets
- No SIM card handling
- Maintenance-free, battery life must correspond to pallet life
Solution
Together with Heliot Europe and its partner Simplehardware, a sensor solution for direct integration into plastic pallets has been developed.
Benefit
The customers portfolio is being expanded to include a sustainable solution that offers direct added value.
- Promotion of the circular economy
- Reduces the shrinkage rate of important assets / valuables
- Avoidance of replacement costs
