Manufacturing companies constantly are challenged with keeping track of thousands of containers while also containing costs. To address and solve this need, RLT & Associates (rltandassociates.com) of Shelby Township, MI, will introduce at upcoming PACK Expo a new, technology-based container tracking system designed to enable manufacturers to easily and intelligently track each container and significantly reduce their burdens and costs. RLT & Associates’ container tracking system will be introduced at PACK Expo on November 2-5, 2014, in Chicago, IL, at booth #6748.

“Among the biggest headaches and costs our manufacturing customers experience is lost or missing containers,” says Rob Taylor, founder/CEO of RLT & Associates, a global, vertically- integrated supplier of packaging, material handling, and storage/warehousing solutions, and professional services.

“We are extremely excited to help our clients track containers, organize operations, strategically plan ahead, and save significant time and thousands of dollars,” says Taylor, whose atypical company approach synchronizes many different products and services under one roof to provide the right solutions to meet manufacturers’ needs.

 Housed in a secure Internet system, RLT & Associates’ container tracking system enables the tracking of every external and internal container, and provides an inventory control system, an RFID chip embedded in container labels, intelligent Internet data exchange, a wide range of management reports and data and reporting capabilities, monitoring of historical trends for future planning, sequencing of containers for the manufacturing process, control of the container ordering process, a real-time dashboard overview with key performance indicators, and savings of thousands of dollars through eliminating theft and lost containers.
