In partnership with Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS), Imperial Sugar will provide a pallet platform that is lighter, more uniform in size, significantly more durable, hygienic, fully traceable and 100% recyclable. Every iGPS pallet will contain a radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled sensor to allow for full traceability.
John Sheptor, COO of Imperial Sugar, said: This partnership encapsulates many of Imperial Sugar’s top priorities: innovation, excellent customer service and environmental responsibility. RFID technology is the future of supply chain management and we are proud to bring this innovation to the sugar industry.
Rex Lowe, president of iGPS, said: We’re thrilled to offer a socially responsible, customer-focused solution to Imperial Sugar. This sugar industry first enables Imperial to provide a safer and fully traceable product to its consumers while creating a secure, efficient work environment that eliminates injuries from splinters and nails, reduces equipment jams and lowers transport costs.
