Sunny Delight teams with iGPS for improved supply chain mgmt.

Friday, July 23, 2010

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) announced today that Sunny Delight Beverages Co. will begin shipping its products throughout the U.S. on iGPS’ all-plastic pallets with embedded RFID tags.

In addition to being RFID and bar code-enabled, iGPS pallets 100% recyclable, weigh 30% less than standard wooden pallets, and are fire-retardant. Unlike wood pallets, iGPS pallets do not absorb liquids that can cross-contaminate food and they cannot harbor wood-boring insects, which have seriously damaged North American forests. [end]
