IBC Wood Products Solutions Brochure

Wood products manufacturers operate across a complex supply chain, from raw materials and logs through production, packaging, storage, and shipment. Accurate identification and data capture are essential for keeping products moving, managing inventory, improving production visibility, and ensuring the right products reach the right customers.

For more than 30 years, IBC has provided labeling, barcode, RFID, printing, scanning, and traceability solutions to the forestry and wood products industry. From individual pieces and bundles to lumber packs, pallets, and shipments, IBC helps manufacturers capture the information needed to track products throughout the value chain.

IBC works with operations ranging from smaller mills and remanufacturers to some of the largest wood products companies, providing solutions that can grow with production requirements.

From Forest to Finished Product

IBC can help connect the different stages of wood products manufacturing:

Raw Materials → Production → Sorting → Packaging → Inventory → Shipping

By capturing information throughout the process, manufacturers can improve visibility into what was produced, where it is located, how it was processed, and where it was shipped.

Solutions can be designed around existing production systems or incorporated into new automated processes. IBC can also integrate barcode and RFID identification with printers, scanners, mobile computers, software, and production equipment.

Built for the Wood Products Environment

Wood products operations can be challenging environments for technology. Dust, moisture, temperature changes, vibration, outdoor storage, heavy equipment, and high production volumes all place demands on labeling and identification equipment.

IBC provides rugged hardware and durable consumables designed for demanding production environments, backed by installation, service, support, and technology consulting.
