From harvest to factory — verified and tracked by RFID.
RFID and mobile devices capture and link origin, transport, and consumption events across the supply chain. This ensures up-to-date traceability data and reliable EUDR compliance reporting.
A short introduction to Material Origin Tracking with RFID
RFID provides real-time visibility for raw materials from their source to finished goods. Every movement is tracked and linked to origin data, supporting full EUDR compliance.
The Turck Vilant Systems Approach for EUDR Compliance
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) affects companies handling products such as soy, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, and wood — requiring proof that none of these commodities, or goods derived from them, are linked to deforestation or forest degradation. In short, EUDR aims to make global supply chains more transparent and sustainable.
For the forestry sector, this means proving the legal and sustainable origin of wood, timber, pulp, paper, packaging, and furniture. Companies must collect accurate data on the geolocation of harvest sites, species and quantity of wood, and the supply-chain path from forest to finished product — a demanding task if done manually.
Our RFID-based Material Origin Tracking solution automates this process. It captures GPS coordinates at harvest and traces each load through warehouses, transport, and factory operations, maintaining verified, real-time origin data to support effortless EUDR compliance.
Turck Vilant Systems is a global leader in RFID-based supply chain tracking. With decades of expertise in forestry and industrial logistics, we deliver proven solutions that help manufacturers and brand owners achieve transparent, efficient, and compliant operations worldwide.
Turck Vilant Systems Solution for Material Origin Tracking
- Registers GPS coordinates of each harvested batch, giving every material a unique, verifiable origin.
- Tracks material movements automatically through warehouses, transport, and factory intake using RFID gates and forklifts.
- Links production events to origin data, maintaining full traceability from raw material to finished product.
- Ensures accuracy at every transfer by verifying correct loads and shipments between sites.
- Logs all RFID and GPS events, creating a complete digital history of material origin and processing for EUDR due diligence.
- Keeps origin data synchronized in real time, ensuring transparent, deforestation-free supply chains.
A Step-by-Step Approach to Implementing RFID for EUDR Compliance
Placing RFID read points at key stages of the supply chain — from harvest to factory — enables continuous visibility of material origins and movements. When combined with mobile devices for GPS registration, each batch can be verified automatically for its source, legality, and EUDR compliance, eliminating manual data handling and delays.
Origin Data Registration
Mobile or handheld devices capture GPS coordinates and product details at the harvest site, creating a verified digital record for each batch.
Loading Registration
Mobile or handheld devices capture the loading process from the harvest site onto transport towards warehouse.
Warehouse Entry
RFID gates or forklifts automatically log each load as it enters storage, linking material batches to their certified origin data.
Shipments to Factory
RFID-equipped gates or vehicles record dispatch and receipt events between sites, maintaining a continuous trace from harvest to processing.
Automatic Receiving & Consumption Tracking
RFID read points on conveyors, gates, or forklifts capture intake and consumption events, connecting material use directly to verified origin information.
Finished Product
Processed goods are linked to their raw material history, providing transparent traceability for customers and regulators.
Compliance Records
All RFID and GPS data are stored in one system, keeping origin information current and ready for EUDR due diligence and reporting.
