Abstract

In this article, we describe our research on digitalization in the field of returnable small load carrier (SLC) management. Our findings are the result of a collaboration between three companies and an academic institution. We apply various methods for modeling and analyzing digitalization measures that are already being prototypically implemented and discuss them in terms of transparency, data quality, resource consumption and costs. Our research enables academic researchers to build on real-world data and problems. For practitioners, we offer concrete solutions to increase the level of digitalization in their organizations. Unlike most other academic work to date, we focus on SLCs with their specific characteristics. This article could be the starting point for a higher impact and a growing number of research activities on returnable SLCs to make SLC cycles more efficient, which in turn will increase the sustainability of industrial packaging in general.
