Product of the Day: Reusable aluminum pallets

Reusable aluminum pallets are equipped with an affordable Bluetooth asset tracking system designed to work with iPhones and iPods. The Eco Tracking system uses WiFi or cellular networks to find and report on pallets in the area. The technology needs no line of sight, so you could inventory an entire warehouse just by walking through it. As seen at WestPack 2014 in booth #5082 (demos available through Thurs., Feb. 13), a $499 "show special" Starter Kit includes:

4 Standard tags;

1 Pro tag;

2 user accounts; and

1 free month of service.

The lightweight Eco Aluminum Pallet weighs about 40 lbs; lasts at least 10 years; holds up to 50,000 lbs (static) and 14,000 lbs (dynamic); is made with 75 percent recycled material; and is 100 percent recyclable. The pallets are not welded, so they can be repaired, if needed.
