round wood		 Summary: The problems we consider are illegal loggings, logistic costs connected to monitoring of round wood, control and synchronization of enterprises timber supply chain flows. Current situation in modern forest industry shows that timber products tracking systems mostly used only to confront illegal loggings. To achieve same control over forestry enterprise flows and get maximum from other traceability benefits automatic identification of the individual timber items at all log supply chain steps should be performed. In this paper we outlined a basis need to create such system. We chose a perspective tracking technology suitable for automatic identification of individual logs. In addition, we list forest industry requirements for chosen technology. Moreover, we present a patented timber tracing method based on use of sound acoustic waves radiofrequency transponders. The main function of proposed system is real time stock management from forest to the final customer.
