Send us Fan Mail Every product you buy has a journey - but for most companies, that journey is basically invisible until something goes wrong. Today we are diving into one of the most overlooked - yet absolutely essential - pieces of global commerce: the pallet. Every year, billions of products move across the world sitting on these simple platforms, but despite the rise of AI, IoT, robotics, and digital supply chains, the pallet itself has remained largely unchanged for decades. Our guest today is trying to change that. Joining us is Rodrigo Castro, Co-Founder and President of Adaptive Pallet Solutions ( APS - ), a Philadelphia-based company building what they call a “supply chain intelligence platform” powered through smart pallets. APS leases 100% recyclable plastic pallets embedded with IoT sensors capable of tracking location, temperature, humidity, shock, load status, theft, and other real-time logistics data across global supply chains.
