Made from high impact and UV resistant resin, the SmartStick™ is a patent-pending technology designed specifically to mount Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags onto wood and plastic pallets. The non-structural plastic SmartStick™ is fitted between the deckboards of a traditional pallet and fastened to two or more stringers or blocks. Once attached, the SmartStick™ sits below the surface of the pallet deck, preventing contact with the pallet load.

The SmartStick™ offers several competitive advantages over the mounting technologies currently being used in the pallet industry with tags being mounted directly to wood pallets:

Protects tag from forklift tine impact
Protects tag from direct product load contact
Protects against accidental tag loss or damage
Deterrent from intentional tampering
Protects tag from the elements
Performs well in hot and cold climates
Securely fastens to a standard pallet
Does not compromise the integrity of the pallet unit
Improves the readability of tag data
Reusable

The benefits to incorporating the SmartStick™ and RFID tracking capabilities into pallets include the following:

Meets customer compliance requirements for RFID enabled pallets
Can accommodate virtually any RFID tag or sensor
Attached to any pallet using conventional nails
Easily integrated into pallet manufacturing and repair operations
Improved tag readability yields more accurate product tracking
Overall lower supply chain costs and higher earnings for customers
Low cost solution
Phytosanitary (ISPM 15 Compliant) for international shipping
