The core objective of SINTETIC is to set up and demonstrate a traceability system for trees, logs and boards based on ICT through a central Geodatabase covering all the forest-based value chain. This faces the 3 main drawbacks of the ICTs in the forestry sector: -Deployed only in areas with mature timber market (North/Central EU vs. South EU). -Currently cannot be used during the whole value chain, causing several losses. -A reliable tool for tracing the origin of forest product is missing, still allowing illegal practices. Along with the core objective, the SINTETIC proposal will pursuit: SOBJ1: To achieve a higher value recovery of timber assortments (+10%). SOBJ2: To increase the overall efficiency of the timber supply chain. SOBJ3: To provide a greater competitive advantage of the EU forest industry (yield of high value sawnwood products from 20% to 22%). SOBJ4: To increase of the EU forested area under active management (aggregation of 12.000 ha fragmented properties). SOBJ5: To increase both the timber value, the resilience and the ecosystem services provided. SOBJ6: To tackle illegal logging and the related timber trade (-15%). SOBJ7: To facilitate a homogeneous and widespread uptake of the ICTs in the forest sector. The main expected results are: RES1: Manual marking and quality assessment (traceability system). RES2: Smartphone APP for motormanual operations. RES3: Processor head prototype. RES4: Harvester LiDAR. RES5: Sawmill sensors and traceability of sawnwood. RES6: Earth observation illegal logging alert service. RES7: Forest ownership aggregation platform. To make all this possible, SINTETIC will develop a geodatabase with a set of data providers interconnected by the traceability system. It'll provide: 1) Multi-platform data acquisition for the whole supply chain. 2) Data transmission with sesecured digital tools and physical IDs on timber products. 3) Data storage, analysis and distribution for the generation of further services.
