Abstract

Equivalent of epsiv5 billion of wood raw material is going to waste in Europe. The reason is that information regarding the raw material is not available throughout the system. An automatic traceability system makes it possible to use the raw material information throughout the forestry wood production system. The RFID-technology can achieve automatic traceability by enabling us to connect the physical world objects with their virtual counterparts. This traceability system needs to have a temporal data model to support tracking of the raw material and monitoring of the processes. In this paper, that data model for the traceability system of the forestry wood supply chain is presented.
