Returnable Container Traceability

Reusable pallet-box traceability for recycling depots, trucks, and warehouses.

Track container movements, recorded contents, and custody history through a practical WMS workflow, with barcode capture and optional RFID integration.

How it works

A closed loop you can watch run

The animated journey follows reusable pallet boxes from the warehouse to a recycling depot and back — including a deliberate receiving discrepancy that an operator resolves with an audit record.

1

Prepare empties

Warehouse knows available inventory by asset ID.

2

Deliver to depot

Truck manifest is built from dispatch scans.

3

Depot fills boxes

Contents declared per location, not from the tag.

4

Collect & reconcile

Scanned boxes matched to manifest; exceptions flagged.

5

Empty, inspect, redeploy

Asset ID and history persist; contents cleared.

▶ Run the Visual Journey

Returnable Container Workflow

From depot pickup to warehouse return

Reusable pallet boxes move through a closed loop — prepared at the depot, collected by truck, received and reconciled at the warehouse, then returned empty. The illustrations below are original Fargo Techs artwork.
