Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) announced that Kettle Brand Chips will begin shipping its products throughout the U.S. on iGPS’ all-plastic pallets with embedded RFID tags.
The producer of snack foods including Kettle Brand Potato Chip and Handcrafted Nuts will use iGPS’ RFID-enabled pallets, which are 100% recyclable and 30% lighter than pallets made of wood. The pallets are environment friendly and do not absorb fluids that can cross-contaminate food.
In addition, iGPS pallets do not harbor wood-boring insect, therefore never require treatment with toxic pesticides. And thanks to embedded RFID tags, shippers and receivers can track shipments throughout the supply chain.
