RFID aids in revitalizing valuable
and rare Koa tree crops in Hawaii
full article
RFID technology is helping to re-establish lush Koa forests in Hawaii, revitalizing one of the most diverse and valuable hardwoods in the world. In a first-of-its kind application and one of the most unique RFID use cases ever, RFID tags are being placed on young Koa trees to track growth patterns, maintenance history, and to provide a way for investors to own a piece of a Koa forest.
The RFID tree tracking database being developed by Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods (HLH) will allow investors in the HLH Koa reforestation project to track and monitor the progress of their investment in real time. The company embedded about 20,000 RFID tags into its new crop of trees this year, and looks to increase that to 100,000 trees during the next growing season. Within two years HLH will tag at least 250,000 new trees as it moves toward planting 1.3 million Koa trees.
"To our knowledge, there is nobody else doing this on the planet," says Jeff Dunster, CEO of Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods.
