How to combine blockchain technology to revolutionize the supply chain?
WSIS
Session 283
In recent years, there is a growing potential for the supply chain management application, especially in supply chain innovation. Blockchain as an emerging application model has been widely used in different industries. In the fields of finance, Internet of Things, social welfare and supply chain, there have been a lot of explorations and attempts of application. Among them, the supply chain field has become a "place of use" for blockchain technology due to its large market scale, multiple trust subjects and multi-party collaboration. Supply chain is an early development and relatively high maturity of blockchain applications.
The supply chain can be seen as a network of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, distribution centers and channels. The core of the supply chain concept is to establish trust between subjects, collaborate and cooperate, form a chain of originally loose enterprises, and collect and integrate discrete chain information. As the scope of supply chain becomes more and more extensive, enterprises coordinate their own and external resources through effective chain management so as to meet market demand. In the future, as the application of blockchain in the field of supply chain tends to mature, blockchain technology is expected to promote and complete the disruptive innovation of the entire supply chain industry and help realize the deep integration of traditional industries with the new generation of information.
This workshop will discuss some of the current problems in the supply chain, as well as the new challenges encountered in the supply chain in the era of the epidemic, and how to propose solutions in using Blockchain technologies to solve these problems.
