Analysis of the Pallet Management System with a Proposal of Improvement

U današnje vrijeme kada navike i zahtjevi korisnika postaju sve kompleksniji te predstavljaju jedan od većih izazova s kojima se logistička industrija susreće. Naglasak se stavlja na brzinu i točnost isporuke, praćenje robe i paketa te na samu kvalitetu usluge. Paletizacija, kao segment prijevozne logistike ima važnu ulogu u razmjeni dobara. Stavljanjem naglaska na istovremeni transport velike količine različite robe, dobiva se na ekonomičnosti, vremenu i kvaliteti. Za pravilan rad cijelog sustava glavni fokus usmjeren je na palete i njihovu kvalitetu. S obzirom na raznolik izbor materijala koji se koristi pri njihovoj izradu, prilagođene su za prihvat i transport različitih vrsta tereta. Međutim, za neke je i dalje drvena „klasična“ paleta sredstvo manipulacije koje se smatra najisplativijim. Danas je paletizacija sve više usmjerena prema održivom razvoju, odnosno prema budućnosti koja se zalaže za očuvanje okoliša u cjelini gdje bi palete svojom mogućnošću recikliranja i ponovnog korištenja bile dio pravilne ravnoteže zelenog sustava. U ovome radu prikazano je upravljanje paletnim sustavom s naglaskom na njegovo unaprjeđenje, primjenu novih tehnologija kao i povezivanje cijelog ciklusa u priču oko održivog razvoja.Nowadays, when the hectic lifestyle is a part of our everyday life, there is an increasing need for faster transport of both passengers and products. The habits and requirements of users are becoming more complex day by day and represent one of the major challenges facing the logistics industry. Emphasis is placed on speed and accuracy of delivery, tracking of goods and packages and the quality of service. Palletization, as the main segment of transport logistics, has a leading role in the exchange of goods. By emphasizing the simultaneous transport of large quantities of different goods, one gains on economy, time and quality. For the proper operation of the entire system, the main focus is on pallets and their quality. Given the diverse selection of materials used in their manufacture, they are adapted for the reception and transport of different types of cargo. However, for some, the wooden "classic" pallet is still a means of manipulation that is considered the most cost-effective. Today, palletizing is increasingly focused on sustainable development, in the future that is committed to preserving the environment as a whole, where pallets with their ability to recycle and reuse would be part of the proper balance of the green system. This paper will present the management of the pallet system with an emphasis on its improvement, the application of new technologies as well as connecting the entire cycle in the story of sustainable development
