The woodworking industry is facing many product coding and labeling international standards. In addition to the CE and IPPC marking standards required by law, trade markets are increasingly request information about origin and producers and data for tracking goods.

The encoding and tag system must be fast and flexible to provide the correct print results for different concentrations of wood. In addition, the system must be very sturdy, even under harsh conditions (dust, temperature changes, and vibration) must also be able to run reliably.
