there’s no additional infrastructure required,” explains deRoulhac. “The pallet is basically self-contained, the communication is self-contained, and we can very easily make that level of data available to our customers. We’re really replacing something that already exists within the supply chain today, a shipping pallet, and able to deliver an IoT solution with no upfront implementation costs or infrastructure expense. By embracing technological trends and cutting-edge design, RM2 has proved that although shipping pallets may seem like a simple tool, they can have a significant impact if utilized effectively. “With this technology, our objective really is to drive actionable

intelligence that can help drive efficiency in the supply chain,” deRoulhac says, “I think, ultimately, that’s what our pallet solutions are doing.” Total pallet management RM2 is not just delivering a smart pallet, it also provides a total pallet solution through a comprehensive logistic network. Programs are designed to meet the individual company’s needs which include both internal and external loops. With the support of logistics partners such as SCR Air, who is constantly striving to provide the best in class service while delivering the best possible cost, RM2 is able to deliver a nationwide logistics network that supports its clients’ solutions. w w w. s u p p l y c h a i n d i g i t a l . c o m
