Quick and accurate timber identification is key to stopping the flow of illegal wood products into global supply chains. XyloTron is an affordable, field-portable wood species identification system that helps global users identify wood species instantly with 98-100% accuracy.
|
Xylotron’s accuracy, affordability, and portability make it an essential technology for front-line law enforcement in the field. With the XyloTron, a frontline enforcement officer can get ahead of the forest crimes, like illegal timber trafficking, at the port or even in the field. |

|
Actively used by scientists across the world to identify wood species - our partners include the leading international xylariums and expert wood anatomists. As a wood anatomist using the XyloTron, I find it not only extremely easy to use, but also very effective in classifying wood samples and species. |

Used by governments, the private sector, and NGOs to reduce illegal logging and create sustainability and transparency across the world’s wood supply chain, helping companies and communities protect their natural resources. "Our work with XyloTron has allowed us to explore other actors, actions, and projects to help with species identification and control of trade of forest products in the local and international markets... |
With a wide variety of species across Latin America, the XyloTron is expanding to include more African, Asian, and European species. Identification models are globally accessible and strengthened with contributions from our users.

Designed at the U.S. Forest Products Lab by a leading scientist in the field and validated by field experts, XyloTron utilizes custom-designed features, high-end imaging hardware, and AI software for species identification. The XyloTron is a field-deployable product for wood identification using artificial intelligence scientifically rigorous species models. We build these models for each species using high fidelity images from multiple verified samples supplied by partners. The custom imaging hardware is user friendly and yields consistent high quality images. The XyloTron is portable and able to instantly identify images in the field or lab, regardless of where you may be with no connectivity required.
Work with us and the global community to add vouchered samples to the Xylarium database, improving identification accuracy for more species globally.
Take XyloTron with you to identify wood species in the field, protecting trees and supply chains at the source.
Build global species coverage within the XyloTron wood species database. Contribute to global efforts for sustainable forest management.
