Superpower for Pallets -  How Returnable Transport Items Can Help Save the World

Superpower for Pallets - How Returnable Transport Items Can Help Save the World

Author: Stephen Statler April 5, 2022 Duration: 1:09:17

This week we are joined by Mattan David, the UK Managing Director of Digipal, an innovator in the next generation of plastic pallets. We discuss how sustainable plastic pallets -  as well as trackable ones - are game-changers. Years of coping with the limits of RFID tracking - clumsily monitoring movement as pallets enter and leave storage facilities - is being replaced by the superpower of Bluetooth tracking? Learn how this newer technology will transform the way Digipal - and others - keep track of their pallets and prevent loss or theft of goods.


We’re rapidly entering a new era where returnable transport items are never lost or held up in transport.
