The world's only identity
built from satellite signals

Dcode encodes real-time GPS coordinates and a precise timestamp directly into every material it marks, creating an identifier that is, by its very nature, unique anywhere on the planet. No tag. No label. No paper. No compromise.

Patented Technology Satellite-sourced signal Globally unique - always ~10m geolocation accuracy 1-second timestamp precision
Dcode technology applied to natural timber - satellite-encoded 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 unbreakable traceability and supplier trust.

Dcode marking applied at source - step 1: Mark
1
Mark

Each log, panel, or natural material receives a Dcode mark at the precise moment of origin, encoded with GPS coordinates and a timestamp sourced from global satellite positioning. No two codes are ever identical.

AI image recognition reads Dcode mark - step 2: Capture

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: Trace

Trace

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

Patented Technology

No certificate, no claim
just irrefutable proof

Dcode is the only technology that creates an uncounterfeitable method of authenticating natural material units, not through paperwork, but through physical mark.

Dcode as a Unique ID

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

Geolocation as Evidence

GPS coordinates accurate to ~10 metres, permanently linked to a specific forest plot. No ambiguity, just verifiable location data that speaks for itself.

Time-Stamped at Source

Timestamp sourced from satellite positioning, not a local clock. Combined with geolocation, every Dcode mark is a unique event in global space-time, unrepeatable by definition.

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.

Sawmill
Port
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.

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.
