  1. Indisputable Key Industrial breakthrough of new methods and technologies in the wood industry EFORWOOD - SHAPE YOUR SUSTAINABILITY TOOLS Uppsala, 2009-09-23 Gunnar Niblaeus, Dissemination & Exploitation manager 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  2. Gunnar Niblaeus M.Sc, BA Working in the Forest industry and related industries since 1973 Specialized in IT & business consulting Represents Tieto in the project ”Indisputable Key” Work package leader ”Dissemination & Exploitation” Who am I? 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  3. The challenge! Proper raw material for specific final products - a major challenge for the forestry-wood production! 25 million m3 of wood raw material in Europe is going to waste! Page : 3 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  4. The general problem Knowledge about wood properties and their impact on final products is insufficient for achieving a significantly improved yield. Some practical examples: • Production of low moisture content wood mostly gives a high percentage of rejects due to warp • During production of high strength wood beams the amount of beams that cannot be approved can be numerous • To achieve boards having a sufficient amount of heart wood big amounts of boards normally have to be downgraded Page : 4 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  5. Knowledge about wood properties and their impact on quality and the final end-use of wood products helps to choose the most suitable log for a specific product already in the forest. This contributes to significantly reduced amount of waste due to improper wood characteristics. Postulate & conclusion Automatic traceability systems making information available about individual objects at different stages along the forestry-wood supply chain are required.

  6. Objectives: Develop necessary methodology and advanced ICT solutions for improving the use of wood and optimizing forest production Demonstrate the concept and its benefits 12,7 M€ financed to 50 % by EU (FP6) From October 2006 to March 2010 28 partners, more than 150 participants R&D Institutes, universities System integrators (ICT) Industrial users Industrial manufacturers Indisputable Key Page : 6 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  7. Drivers for Improvement Yield: • How to maximize the value yield of an increasingly expensive raw material? Process: • How to minimize downgrading? • Continuous improvement of production efficiency • Continuous improvement of logistics and transports Innovation: • How to use raw material characteristics for innovative product development? Collaboration: • Increased flexibility in the value chain, manage changes • Exchange of information Environment: • Environmental performance as competitive edge • Guarantee Certificate of origin • How to stop illegal cutting?

  8. Material flow Transport Sawing Sorting Final cut Reception Harvesting Information accumulated with traceability Information Loss of information Information accumulated without traceability Transport Sawing Harvesting Reception Sorting Cut Information barriers Local information from different actors in specific formats Page : 8 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  9. Technical barriers – Marking & Reading • Common requirements • Extremely demanding environment • Cost justified • High readability • RFID technology • Pulpable transponders • Automatically applicable on logs • Reading distance several meters • Reader in harvester head • Ink-based marking & reading • Able to separate millions of objects 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  10. Focus on cost, confused perception of benefits Unwillingness to share information Lack of skills Resistance to change Image of a “Big Brother” technique: “We are going to monitor everything” Human barriers Page : 10 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools

  11. Scope & content Tracing from forest to end-user with accurate, real-time data • Information exchange based upon open standards • Models and indicators for economical and environmental performance • RFID technology for code marking & reading • Other technologies for marking and reading • Software modules for integration and tracing services • Preparing for real industrial use • Real industrial implementations • Training programs and material 2009-09-23 EFORWOOD - Shape your sustainability tools
