Research Abstract:
Pallets are ubiquitous in the supply chain with over 2.6 billion in circulation in the United States alone. Although often overlooked, pallets can become costly for a company if not designed correctly for their specific supply chain.
More and more supply chains are using automated equipment to handle pallets and packages. Due to the large variability in sizes of pallets, this automation equipment often has difficulty. The objective of this research is to investigate what sort of automation equipment is used by supply chains and how pallets need to be designed in order to work with the most varieties of equipment.
