How Can RFID Be Used To Manage Tree Inventory?
Auto-ID technologies are increasingly being utilized in commercial settings, such as industrial warehousing, agricultural management, and livestock tracking. In the forestry industry, these technologies can enhance the traceability of timber products and contribute to the implementation of certification schemes.
RFID nail tags for wooden assets have been specifically designed for various construction and transport purposes. The durable ABS housing safeguards the embedded electronics during installation and usage. The RFID nail tag can easily be mounted into dense materials using a standard drill hole.
The RFID nail tag is utilized in forestry and research applications to label living trees, ensuring long-term performance due to its water resistance and stable performance across fluctuating temperatures. It is suitable for managing non-metallic products such as trees, cement products, plastic products, and wood products, even in wet and chemical environments due to its corrosion-resistant feature. The RFID nail tag is filled with epoxy, making the transponder completely dustproof. Additionally, it can provide information about the age of trees in the forest, the fruiting rate of fruit trees, and store all details of trees and wooden materials. Moreover, the RFID nail tag is designed to withstand various weather conditions and can be used outdoors, making it an ideal choice for forestry management or park management, among other applications.
How does the RFID nail tag works?
The utilization of RFID technology enables the enhancement of forestry management identification and traceability. The RFID reader identifies the RFID nail tag and transfers the data. With the assistance of the RFID tree nail tag, anyone can become an expert in trees, instantly obtaining information such as name, age, and growth status. By analyzing records spanning multiple years, one can determine how to choose superior trees and eliminate inferior ones.
GOODWIN RFID TAGS FOR TREE IDENTIFICATION
Our affordable and efficient RFID Nail tag is an ideal choice for monitoring trees. Made of synthetic material (plastic), it can withstand outdoor conditions for a minimum of ten years. Although it is expected to last indefinitely, certain components such as adhesives and inks may start to deteriorate after 15 years. However, the RFID tag is designed to remain functional throughout the entire lifespan of tree growth, as long as it is securely attached.
Why need to use RFID to manage forestry？
With tree density significantly lower than many other assets, it becomes arduous to achieve substantial time savings. However, crawling under limbs can save you approximately 10 seconds per tree and minimize the occurrence of scratches.
Each time you perform an audit, you will be responsible for reviewing more than 20 hours and examining a total of 10,000 trees. With the implementation of RFID, you can conveniently obtain the accurate tree ID by triggering it from a range of 10-20′.
