The core objective of Sintetic is to set up and demonstrate a traceability system for trees, logs and boards based on ICT. The solution must be reliable, highly precise, and cost-effective. To achieve these expectations, it will be based on a set of hardware and applications designed to generate a unique ID physically attached to each item and digitally transmitted to a central Geodatabase. The latter will relate each ID to the data produced along the supply chain, with the unprecedented capacity to span from the forest inventory to the final sawnwood products. It will allow to relate yield and quality output of any process in the value chain with all the previous steps, including historical climatic data, silvicultural treatments, and forest stand descriptors.
