Plastic Pallet Sensor Detection: How to Prevent Conveyor and AS/RS Scan Failures

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A plastic pallet can be strong enough for the load and still cause repeated stops in an automated warehouse. The problem may not be breakage. It may be that a sensor misses the pallet edge, a barcode is hidden by stretch film, an RFID tag is difficult to read near liquid goods, or the pallet base creates inconsistent contact at a conveyor transfer.

In manual handling, an operator can see the problem and correct it. In conveyors, AS/RS infeed lanes, palletizers, shuttle systems, and automated wrapping lines, the system expects every pallet to appear in the same place and trigger the same signals. Small differences become downtime.
