IBC RFID Wood Load Labels combine the convenience of a durable label with the automation capabilities of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Designed for lumber loads, lifts, bundles, and packaged wood products, these labels allow manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to identify and track wood products without relying exclusively on line-of-sight barcode scanning.
RFID can provide an additional layer of visibility as finished products move from production through inventory, distribution, and retail. IBC can integrate RFID labels with readers, antennas, mobile computers, fixed-mount scanning, software, and other data collection technologies to create a complete wood products traceability solution. IBC’s existing wood products traceability offering supports both barcode and RFID technologies across raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished products.
Automated Identification for Wood Products
Traditional barcode labels require the scanner to see the barcode. RFID provides an alternative approach where tagged products can be identified using radio frequency technology.
This can be particularly useful for wood products operations where loads are:
- Wrapped or packaged
- Stored outdoors
- Moving through warehouses
- Loaded onto trucks
- Handled with forklifts
- Being received or shipped in groups
- Difficult to scan individually
RFID Wood Load Labels can help create a digital identity for each load while maintaining the familiar appearance and printed information of a traditional product label.
What Can Be Encoded & Printed?
RFID labels can combine printed human-readable information and barcode identification with an electronic RFID identifier.
Typical information can include:
- Product description
- Species
- Grade
- Dimensions
- Length
- Piece count
- Package quantity
- Lot or batch number
- Production information
- Mill identification
- Customer information
- Shipping information
- Serial numbers
- 1D barcodes
- 2D barcodes
- RFID identification
This allows operators to continue using conventional barcode scanning while introducing RFID-based automation where it provides the greatest benefit.
Track Wood Loads Throughout the Supply Chain
RFID Wood Load Labels can be used to connect finished products with inventory and production data:
Production → Finished Product → Inventory → Warehouse → Shipping → Distribution → Retail
RFID readers can capture product movement at designated points throughout the operation, helping reduce manual scanning and providing more timely inventory information.
IBC can design the supporting system around the RFID label, including:
- RFID readers
- RFID antennas
- Fixed RFID portals
- Mobile RFID readers
- RFID printers
- Barcode scanners
- Mobile computers
- Labeling software
- Database integration
- ERP/WMS integration
Built for Wood Products
Wood products environments can expose labels to moisture, dust, temperature changes, abrasion, outdoor storage, and heavy handling. IBC can recommend the appropriate RFID inlay, label material, adhesive, and construction based on the application.
For applications where adhesive labels aren’t appropriate, IBC also offers RFID Wood Load Tags designed for mechanical attachment.
