Zusammenfassung:A method of monitoring location, condition and status of cargo loaded on dunnage platforms includes supplying one or more dunnage platforms including a RFID tag. Cargo 5 is loaded on the one or more dunnage platforms, wherein the dunnage platform condition, the cargo location, the cargo condition and the cargo status are stored in one or more RFID tags. The cargo is shipped and monitored on the one or more dunnage platforms. The dunnage platform condition, the cargo location, the cargo condition and the cargo status are relayed to a base station. The client cargo is unloaded at the one or more desired 10 destinations, wherein the base station monitors the number of unloaded dunnage platforms and automatically picks up one or more used dunnage platforms as needed.
