Monitoring environmental performance of the forestry supply chain using RFID

摘要: It is estimated that wood raw material worth of approximately @?5billion wasted annually in Europe. The major reason for this the not used most efficient way as information needed regarding available throughout supply chain. An automatic traceability system makes it possible to utilise efficiently forestry-wood production chain and maximize yield, optimise monitor environmental impact, by linking relevant traced objects. This paper describes novel RFID technology solutions have been developed products industry. RFID-marking connects physical objects with their database counterparts thus allowing tracing architecture dynamic decentralised nature based allows individual logs from tree felling sawing at saw mill. By combining process systems, new methods are enabled analysing performance As an example, a product can be analysed even on level. means only own manufacturer will accessible, but also upstream processes constitute value life cycle leaving manufacturer.
