IntroduzioneL'applicazione di tecnologie innovative e di precisione volte al miglioramento dell'efficienza e della qualità dei prodotti e dei processi produttivi ha avuto un notevole sviluppo in questi ultimi decenni nel settore agro-alimentare (Costa et al. 2013), mentre solo più recentemente questo aspetto è venuto a interessare anche il settore forestale (Timpe 2006, Björk et al. 2011, Corona & Scrinzi 2014, Picchi et al. 2015. Di particolare interesse al riguardo è la possibilità di applicazione di tecnologie innovative per la tracciabilità dei flussi di legname basate sull'applicazione di sistemi di Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). In ambito europeo, per la tematica del controllo della or tons of processed product. The results showed that the use of RFID technology along the supply chain could lead to an effective operational simplification and to a more efficient use of resources. Based on the average market prices for timber (80-120 € / m 3 ), the implementation of RFID technology led to an increase in timber price by 8% under the worst scenarios. This suggests that the use of open source technologies for wood traceability is already feasible and economically sustainable, as 40% of private companies stated their willingness to pay a premium price (on average 3.25% higher) for purchasing certified local wood products in Calabria. Moreover, we expect a further reduction of tags and hardware costs in the next future, up to half the costs estimated in this work, thus making the application of such technology to timber traceability even more affordable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
