Transparent Traceability Platform Based on Blockchain and Internet of Things for Dates Supply Chain

Traceability refers to the ability to track the history, application, or location of an item or product through recorded identifications. Traditional traceability systems often rely on manual processes and paper-based records, which can lead to inaccuracies, delays, and difficulties in tracking products across complex supply chains. These systems are prone to human error, lack real-time visibility, and can be easily compromised. Transitioning from traditional to advanced traceability is essential to meet the growing demand for transparency, efficiency, ensuring product authenticity and enhances consumer trust in the whole of supply chain. Our objective is to integrate Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to strengthen traceability in an agri-food supply chain, a case study was carried out. To do this, we developed a web platform based on react, solidity and MongoDB altlas cloud to visualize the different steps carried out in real time and the circulation of physical, information and financial flows throughout the dates supply chain
