IBC RFID Wood Load Tags combine RFID identification with durable staple-on wood product tags, providing a powerful solution for tracking lumber loads, lifts, bundles, and packaged wood products. Instead of relying solely on a barcode that must be individually scanned, RFID allows tagged loads to be identified using radio frequency technology.
The tags can be physically attached to wood loads using staples while providing both printed information for operators and an electronic RFID identity for automated data capture. This makes RFID Wood Load Tags particularly useful for operations where loads are handled with forklifts, stored in yards, moved through warehouses, or shipped in high volumes.
Staple-On RFID Identification
A staple-on tag provides a mechanical attachment method that can be advantageous in demanding wood products environments.
RFID Wood Load Tags can be used for:
- Lumber lifts
- Wrapped lumber packs
- Dimensional lumber
- Studs
- Plywood
- OSB
- Veneer
- Engineered wood products
- Remanufactured lumber
- Wood components
- Building materials
For operations that prefer adhesive identification, IBC can provide RFID Wood Load Labels as an alternative.
RFID + Printed Identification
An RFID Wood Load Tag can contain both a physical printed identifier and an electronic RFID identifier.
Printed information can include:
- Product description
- Species
- Grade
- Dimensions
- Package quantity
- Production information
- Lot or batch number
- Mill identification
- Customer information
- Shipping information
- 1D barcodes
- 2D barcodes
- Serial numbers
The RFID component provides an additional method of identifying the load as it moves through the supply chain.
Reduce Manual Scanning
One of the advantages of RFID is that operators don’t necessarily need to locate and scan each barcode individually. RFID readers can automatically identify tagged loads as they pass through designated areas.
This can support applications such as:
Inventory Management
Automatically identify loads entering or leaving storage areas.
Shipping & Receiving
Capture load information as products move through shipping or receiving points.
Yard Management
Improve visibility into the location and movement of tagged products.
Distribution
Capture product movement with less manual scanning.
Retail & Customer Receiving
Provide a consistent digital identity that can remain associated with the load.
Complete Wood Products RFID System
IBC can provide more than the RFID tag. Our wood products traceability solutions can combine RFID tags, readers, antennas, printers, mobile computers, scanners, software, and services into an integrated system.
A typical system can connect:
RFID Tag → RFID Reader → Database → Inventory / ERP / WMS
This allows RFID data to become part of the same business systems already being used to manage production and inventory.
Built for Demanding Wood Product Environments
IBC can help select an RFID tag construction based on the specific requirements of the application, including attachment method, environmental exposure, read distance, orientation, and the materials surrounding the RFID inlay.
This is particularly important for wood products because the physical construction of a load, packaging, moisture, metal equipment, and RFID reader configuration can all affect RFID performance.
