Smart Crate is a highly engineered, reusable, modular, connected crating platform. Compared with wood boxes, it provides savings on packaging costs of up to 40% per shipment, and reduces product transit time by allowing
crating to occur at the point of manufacture. Each crate is equipped with state-of-the-art sensor and communications technologies providing real-time location tracking and condition monitoring (temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, light, acceleration) for enhanced in-transit security. Smart Crate also helps companies address environmental initiatives by being multi-use and manufactured using all recyclable materials.
Over two years of highly focused design and engineering have gone into developing Smart Crate, a totally reimagined next-generation container that replaces costly, inefficient and environmentally destructive wood packaging. The result is the world’s most advanced shipping platform for high-tech and high-value cargo that is lighter, stronger, faster, smarter and better for the environment.
