Automation isn’t coming; it’s already here, and supply chains are feeling the pressure to keep up. As distribution centers and manufacturing facilities invest in conveyors, AS/RS, robotic handling, and high-speed sortation, one thing becomes clear: automation only performs as well as the assets it moves. Pallets that vary in weight, dimensions, or condition can slow systems down, create inefficiencies, or introduce safety risks.
Designed to Work with Existing Automation
RM2 composite pallets are engineered for dimensional consistency and structural stability, enabling them to perform reliably across both automated and semi-automated environments. Unlike traditional pallets, composite pallets do not warp, splinter, or degrade over time, allowing automation systems to operate with fewer interruptions.
Their uniform footprint, stable load support, and non-slip surface make them compatible with conveyors, palletizers, depalletizers, racking systems, and robotic handling—without requiring costly system modifications.
Consistency That Supports Throughput
Automation depends on predictability. RM2 pallets maintain their shape and performance across repeated use cycles and varying temperatures, supporting smoother transfers and more consistent flow through high-volume operations.
By reducing pallet-related jams, rejections, and manual intervention, composite pallets help facilities protect throughput and maintain uptime as automation demands increase.
Supporting Automation Without Adding Complexity
Automation-ready doesn’t have to mean complicated. RM2’s pooled pallet model integrates into existing supply chains with flexible acquisition options and support from best-practice consultants, helping customers transition without disrupting current operations.
For organizations focused on scaling automation while managing costs, pallet reliability becomes a foundational, not optional, consideration.
Looking Ahead: A Year-End Perspective on Automation
As supply chains close out the year and evaluate performance, automation readiness continues to rise as a priority. Facilities are seeking ways to improve efficiency, safety, and consistency without overhauling infrastructure.
Composite pallets designed for automation help bridge that gap, supporting today’s systems while preparing operations for what comes next.
As automation strategies continue to evolve, pallet performance remains a critical and often overlooked factor. Learn how automation-ready pallets can support system reliability, throughput, and long-term efficiency.
