SmartCartridge® Containers
Patented SmartCartridge® container technology delivers multiple SaS products – at the same time. SmartCartridges are equipped with an RFID-enabled Smart Tag™ which ensures each container is in the appropriate slot while automatically recording product levels. SmartCartridge containers are refillable. After planting, users return all SmartCartridge containers to the retail point of purchase and pay only for as-applied acres, without worrying about running each container to empty.

ULTIMUS™ Technology
ULTIMUS™ technology works with onboard RFID hardware in the SIMPAS system to provide forensic-quality, chain-of-custody traceability for every SIMPAS-applied product. SIMPAS also offers carbon credit capabilities through Ultimus, which auto-records precisely when and where carbon credit-eligible products are applied to enable carbon credit location verification for accurate rate tracking.
