TRACE: Tracking and Real-time Analytics for Cargo and Enterprises
One of the ongoing challenges in supply chain management is ensuring traceability and transparency, especially when handling sensitive or volatile products. Conventional systems cannot frequently monitor in real time, which results in inefficiencies and makes it challenging to confirm transit conditions. To improve supply chain transparency, this study proposes an integrated solution that combines blockchain technology with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Real-time data on product handling and environmental conditions is gathered by the IoT devices and securely stored on a blockchain ledger. This method guarantees data integrity and gives all parties involved access to an immutable record. The suggested system seeks to increase supply chain participants’ trust, guarantee adherence to legal requirements, and boost operational efficiency.
