Learn / Dcode

A new kind of identity
built into the material

Dcode binds a globally unique identifier and trusted origin metadata directly into every material it marks, creating an identifier that is globally unique. No tag. No label. No paper.

Patented Technology Independently sourced reference Globally unique Plot-level origin precision Verified time of origin
Dcode technology applied to natural timber - origin-bound identification system

AI that reads what the naked eye cannot
at source, in seconds

Dcode uses proprietary AI-powered image recognition combined with a unique code marking system to identify natural products the moment they enter the supply chain, capturing verified provenance data before any other hand touches them.

Unlike plastic tags, paint, or RFID, Dcode requires no additional materials. It is damage-resistant, weather-proof, and turns regulatory compliance into a genuine competitive advantage through continuous traceability and supplier trust.

Dcode marking applied at source - step 1: MarkAI - image generated or edited using artificial intelligence
1
Mark

Each log, panel, or natural material receives a Dcode mark at the precise moment of origin, encoded with verified origin metadata captured at the moment of marking. No two codes are ever identical.

AI image recognition reads Dcode mark - step 2: CaptureAI - image generated or edited using artificial intelligence

Capture

Deeplai's AI recognition engine reads the Dcode mark instantly via camera hardware, verifying identity and triggering automatic data upload to the TimberID platform. Zero manual data entry.

Chain of custody traceability - step 3: TraceAI - image generated or edited using artificial intelligence

Trace

Every subsequent scan, at the sawmill, port, or distribution centre - is logged immutably, creating a continuous record from forest to final product.

Patented Technology

No certificate, no claim
just irrefutable proof

Dcode authenticates natural material units through a physical mark rather than paperwork.

Dcode as a Unique ID

Each Dcode is generated at the exact moment of marking from an independent, trusted reference, making it a globally unique identifier by construction, not by assignment. No database, no registry, no issuing authority required.

Geolocation as Evidence

Origin location permanently linked to a specific forest plot. No ambiguity, just verifiable location data that speaks for itself.

Time-Stamped at Source

Origin time is established from an independent, trusted reference rather than a local clock. Combined with origin location, every Dcode mark is a distinct event.

The critical moment is the first one

The 'First Mile' is the foundation of EUDR compliance. It is the moment the log is felled, the timber is milled, the coffee is harvested, where provenance is either established, or forever in doubt.

Final Product

EUDR Article 3 compliance requires demonstrable 'first placement' data. Dcode captures this automatically, making regulatory submission faster, more reliable, and legally defensible.

Complexity in the forest
simplicity in the data

Once Dcode is applied and the data record is uploaded, all provenance verifications downstream become instant. A single scan confirms the entire chain of custody. No manual cross-referencing, no document hunting, no delays. See how it connects across the technology ecosystem.

Give every log an identity
the world can trust

Whether you're a timber harvester, sawmill operator, trader, or importer, Dcode creates the provenance proof that eliminates regulatory uncertainty and builds unshakeable supply chain confidence.
