HOW IT WORKS
Blockchain is
the perfect choice for your
Supply Chain
management
The real-time tracking of a product in a supply chain with the help of blockchain technology reduces the overall cost of moving items in a supply chain. According to a survey conducted by APQC and the Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI), more than one-third of supply chain workers cited a reduction in costs as the topmost benefit of a blockchain application in supply chain management.
Having trust in complex supply chains with many participants is necessary for smooth operations. The immutable nature of blockchain technology in the supply chain is well-designed to establish trust and prevent tampering of data. In the event of a defective product, the source of the problem can be identified more quickly – improving the efficiency of product recalls and dispute resolution between stakeholders.
The INDUSTRIAL APPs and UNISOT DASHBOARD
DASHBOARD
Used by the company’s executive and administrative staff to obtain status updates, follow product streams and KPI’s. The dashboard is also used to exchange, sell and buy information with other participants in the supply chain.
INDUSTRIAL APP
Intended for staff in factories and out in the fields for the collection of data that cannot be automatically registered by the use of IoT. The staff creates Smart Digital Twins on the blockchain – representing physical objects, i.e. a package of fish. Information like temperature, position, weight, etc. is recorded in the Smart Digital Twins. The app also includes a feature to easily transfer ownership of a product via its Smart Digital Twin as the product travels through the supply chain.
ERP PLUGIN
The Business System Plugin are software modules installed in a company’s business system – enabling communication between the company’s business processes and the UNISOT Node. The plugin makes the Blockchain functionality transparent to business users so that they can continue to use the system as normal to register & retrieve information, send & receive orders, invoices, etc.
CONSUMER APP
Enables consumers to scan a QR code on a product to get information regarding its content, proof of journey, proof of origin, suggestions on suitable recipes, etc. The app opens for communication between consumers and manufacturers, who can get direct feedback from consumers on product quality. Manufacturers use this information to optimize manufacturing processes, increase quality and strengthening the customer’s connection to the product.
HORECA APP
Designed for professional use with similar features as the Consumer App. Scanning of a QR code gives information about the content, proof of origin, proof of journey, etc. The app opens direct communication between Horeca and manufacturers, who receive feedback on product quality, etc. that the manufacturer can use to effectively optimize manufacturing and distribution processes.
