Data Acquisition / ETL White Papers

IDTechEx.com Case Study: Precision Forestry Cooperative, Trees, USA

Overview The client is Precision Forestry Cooperative (University of Washington). Graduate students at the University in Seattle are employing Texas Instruments' RFID tags to identify genetically modified trees. The Precision Forestry Cooperative at the University was set up by state legislature funding. It seeks to improve the forestry industry's conservation techniques. Because trees grown from the top, the transponders have become completely embedded in the middle of the tree trunk and remain at the same height. With more than one billion seedlings planted per year in the United States, the potential market for RFID tagging within this sector is significant.
