Software solutions for pallet tracking

Filed in archive Technology on November 10, 2007

Even though today there is a business case for using the RFID technology in pallets for the purpose of asset tracking (for expensive equipments), the technology sill hasn`t found its way to the cheaper products and sectors like food industry.

One of the hurdles in the area is the software for pallet tracking. While RFID technology is there for tracking pallets, pallet control computer software an attractive option for entrepreneurs who want to make the technology more attractive for logistics managers.

I looked around to see which companies have reliable solutions in the market and found these three:

1) 2ic Pallets, the Australian company which its pallet control software now available in North America and the U.K.
2) CTSWeb, the Canadian Pallet Council (CPC) software,
3) iLogic, an Ontario company

My idea is to do an evaluation of the available solutions in the area so let me know if you know any solutions in the market plus their advantages, features and drawbacks.
