Decentralized Application of Pallet Pool System Based on Blockchain

The sharing and implementation of standardized pallets is the foundation for the development of efficient supply chain and intelligent transportation. At present, pallet pool information systems have been rapidly promoted and applied worldwide. However, the pallet pool information system, which serves as the basis for pallet sharing and in charge of the core pallet business, encounters critical problems such as difficulty in pallet exchange via different information platforms. Such issues will prevent the development of pallet pooling. In view of the above problems, here, firstly, the solution is put forward to fulfill pallet exchange among different platforms and owners by using blockchain technology. Then, a more efficient pallet pooling logistics business system is proposed. Finally, the technical characteristics and key business combinations of such system and blockchain are analyzed and studied.
