White Paper: The Benefits of Tracking Returnable Transport Items

Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) tracking is key to many manufacturing industries such as Automotive, Retail and Wholesale, Pharmaceutical and Healthcare, Food and Beverage, Logistics and Supply Chain, Agriculture, and E-commerce and Distribution.

Modern on-site tracking technologies, aka Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), such as the RedLore RTLS, can automate RTI tracking across multi-party manufacturing and logistics operations, yielding substantial operational and financial benefits.

In this white paper we analyse and quantify the benefits from Returnable Transport Item tracking. We first deconstruct the mechanisms behind RTI tracking that lead to the benefits. We then quantify the benefits of RTI tracking. Finally, we frame RTI tracking in the broader context of a publication by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG): RC-18 – Automated Asset Counting or Tracking.
