Abstract
According to some embodiments of the invention, data may be collected from multiple tagged pallets by a mobile reader pallet. The tagged pallets may include components capable of short range communication with the mobile reader pallet. The reader pallet may include components capable of long range communication that allow the reader pallet to transmit the data to another device or server. This may result in reduced costs and battery preservation, as each pallet does not need to include costly and power intensive long range communication components. Further, because the reader pallet is mobile, movement of the tagged pallets within range of a stationary reader is not needed.
