IEEE@Home Blockchain Series: "Traceability for Industrial Environments based on a High Tamper Proof System Enabled by Blockchain Technology"

Video from the online meetup being held by the IEEE-PT BWG on September 24, 2021. This video shows Traceability for Industrial Environments based on a High Tamper Proof System Enabled by Blockchain Technology.

The world is changing, consumers are more informed and more demanding and want to track their products and their origins. Transparency plays a key role in the moment of choice. High customization is struggling the value stream and the supply chain.

Manufacturers need to track efficiently their products and processes and give real-time information for all interested parts internally and externally. Many challenges need to be addressed on a plant shop floor.

This work proposes a decentralized network architecture approach to track and trace physical and logical assets on an industrial environment, by means of a tamper-proof system, using blockchain technology, based on data capture on the field using identification and IoT devices. Discusses how to deal with concerns like security & privacy; efficiency & latency.
