Supply Chain industry challenges
Compliance
Cost
TrustCounterfeits
Transparency
T Customers are concern if the product they get is authentic.
C
The contracts in a supply chain process can be complicated
due to change of ownership, bills of lading, complicated
payment terms, pro- for-mas and letters of credit..
T
Currently every supplier maintains their own systems, it becomes
difficult to perform predictive monitoring and find what was
done at different stages of the production.
C
The counterfeited products hardly meet the industrial quality
standards and there is no validation of the country of origin.
C
Since supply chain management involves various stakeholders like regulators
and lawyers, it adds high costs to the entire management system.

Today’s Supply Chains are Mature, But...
Single organization,
and maybe 1-level
of trading partners
Lack of visibility and
trust in Multi-tier
supply chain
Root cause analysis
within enterprise
Lack of ability to root
cause analysis with
non-reputable
automation
eliminating disputes
Genealogy,
Pedigree through
serialization
Enable precise
targeted recalls,
assure authenticity
and chain of custody
for source-to-
consumer use cases
Tracking, Tracing
and regulatory
paperwork
Automated,
consensus-driven
transaction records
pre-checked with
smart-contracts
with track and trace

entire supply chain process. Based on this petabytes of data people
and machines make real time decisions.
• Blockchain will receive data only from whitelisted IoT devices during
transportation
• 5G devices are able to transfer high volumes of wireless data from all
IoT devices and also from non-GSM IoT devices
