Palatization in Freight Containers
We do not palatize much product in freight containers. Freight containers are what we call floor loaded predominantly. And so when that container reaches its destination, it's at that point it is palatized. In china, they'd had huge availability of labor, so there was a lot of manual palatization and their supply chains. That's changing very, very rapidly. We're now, instead of manual, because of the cost of labor, they are automating palatization. Where you want to mix kus on a palet, you use robotic picker stations. Those are literally robots that we see all the time on television.
