AWI's main aim from this research is to develop and implement logistics technologies that enable cost savings and positive structural changes on-farm and within the wool processing pipeline, for example the delivery of enabling technologies, such as wool bale ID, to facilitate better pipeline traceability.

Woolgrowers will benefit from improved on and off-farm logistics systems through:

• lower logistics and fibre measurement costs;
• increased value of wool at farm gate; and
• availability of new and better fibre measurement tools to optimise wool production and marketing.
