Application cases of blockchain Logistics

1. Government management
some countries have shown great interest in the blockchain technology of decentralized data management framework to store public data. For example, essentia is developing an e-government project with the Central Union of agricultural procers and forest owners in Finland, The project will apply blockchain technology to enable urban and rural residents in Finland to query various records, fully meet the needs of residents and employers, and improve the employment rate. In addition, the use of this technology can also improve the efficiency of government operation, so that residents can easily query ecation, public records, voting and other information
waste recycling
for example, an intelligent waste management system in China adopts the RFID technology of waltonchain company. Using this blockchain application of waltonchain, it can effectively monitor the waste level, so as to improve the management and operation efficiency and resource optimization
identity recognition
chug, a Swiss city known as "encryption Valley", has developed an identity authentication system with its partner uport by using blockchain technology, through which citizens can participate in online voting and proof of residence
border control
essentia has been in contact with the Dutch government, hoping to use its blockchain technology to establish a set of border inspection system for the Dutch government to check passengers between Amsterdam and London. At present, passengers of Eurostar high-speed rail between the two countries need to undergo border control checks at multiple locations. Essentia is working on a blockchain based solution that will securely store passenger data so that inspection records from the Netherlands can also be reviewed by UK Border agencies. Blockchain technology will ensure that the data has not been tampered with and is verifiable and accurate
health care
as we all know, medical records are very scattered and prone to errors. Inconsistent data processing process will make hospitals and clinics often forced to deal with some incorrect or incomplete patient records. For example, Medrec, a blockchain electronic medical record system developed by MIT, uses blockchain technology to promote data sharing. At the same time, it can also provide authentication and confidentiality services
enterprise management
as enterprise customers of Microsoft azure applications, they can make use of blockchain as a service (baas), which will enable enterprises to access smart contracts and blockchain applications in a secure hosting environment. According to media reports, Google is also developing a proprietary blockchain project to support its cloud based business. And alpha, Google's parent company, is developing a distributed accounting project that third parties will be able to use to store data related to Google's cloud services
medical data
medical centers that digitize patient records do not store data among multiple devices. They usually store data on centralized servers, which has become the main target of hackers. The wannacry attack on NHS hospital in the UK proves this. But in addition, even if the security risk is ignored, there is still the problem of fragmentation. At present, there are more than 50 different electronic medical record systems (EHR) operating in hospitals in different cities around the world, and there are usually dozens of different medical application systems in the same city. These independent systems can't perform interoperation, and the data of patients in each hospital can only be distributed in different data storage centers
in the case of patients' life and death, the lack of reliable medical data contrast and slow operation efficiency will be fatal. Essentia's application framework solves all these problems by using blockchain based system, which will store all clinical data of patients, and can access these data immediately regardless of geographical boundaries. In this system, the patient's medical record privacy can also be protected, and only the authorized medical personnel can access it in a specific period of time
Music Proction
one of the main advantages of blockchain technology is that it eliminates unnecessary middlemen or middlemen. The music instry is a typical example. In this instry, if artists are inefficient, they will get very low remuneration. At this time, a number of blockchain based projects have emerged to seek a fairer trading and business environment for music creators, such as artbit, a former gunshot rose drummer Matt Soren as director
carbon compensation
as a highly instrialized country, China's environmental change is huge. In March 2017, IBM and energy blockchain labs jointly launched the hyperledger fabric blockchain project to discover China's carbon assets, which not only creates a measurable and auditable system for tracking carbon emissions, but also provides a tradable market for companies seeking to offset energy consumption and stimulate green instrial practice
supply chain management
supply chain management is considered to be one of the better cases of applying blockchain, because it is very suitable for the express delivery of such goods from delivery to receipt or the whole process from manufacturer to store. IBM and Wal Mart have jointly launched a blockchain food safety alliance in China. The project is also jointly operated with Jingdong company, aiming to improve food delivery tracking and safety assurance, so as to make it easier to trace food safety issues
facts have proved that China is a mature experimental base for blockchain projects, and it is also the location of the world's first blockchain for agricultural procts (5.180, - 0.25, - 4.60%). Louis Dreyfus Co, a world-famous food trader, has established a blockchain technology project in cooperation with Dutch and French banks. Using this project technology, the transaction settlement is faster than traditional methods in the process of selling soybeans to China
diamond instry
De Beers Group, the world's most famous diamond company, has its own blockchain company and has started operation. Its purpose is to "establish a digital record for every diamond registered on the platform". Considering the origin of diamonds, the ethical standards of origin, and the risk of diamond quality, blockchain technology is a good choice, because every record of it is indelible, and it will ensure that the electronic data of each diamond is as permanent as itself
real estate transactions
currently, Ukraine is the first country to use blockchain technology to promote property transactions. Michael Arlington, the founder of techcrunch, a famous technology website and cryptocurrency player, remotely purchased and resold a real estate in Kiev through the smart contract of Ethereum blockchain. This transaction was completed by propy, a start-up company specializing in blockchain real estate transactions
fisheries
blockchain technology is now being used to support the development of sustainable fisheries. Illegal fishing is a common problem in this instry. The distributed ledger technology of blockchain provides a proof of the capture source, processing and sale mode. This "net to table" supply chain allows inspectors to determine whether the fish caught came from a human rights violation area or from a country affected by economic sanctions
art paintings
similar to diamond trading, the art instry relies on the provenance and authenticity of art works. Although the blockchain cannot identify whether a painting is an original or a fake, it can be used to prove the identity of the previous owner of the painting. In addition, blockchain technology is now also used as a means to obtain works of art. It can make tangible goods easily traded and exchanged anywhere in the world without physical transfer from a secure storage place
public facilities
in Freemantle, Australia, a project dedicated to distributed energy and water system management is using blockchain technology, and solar panels (3.340, - 0.06, - 1.76%) are being used in sunny areas to obtain electricity, which is then used to heat water and provide electricity, All these energy conversion and use information will be recorded in the blockchain data
in Chile, the National Energy Commission has started to use the blockchain technology as the verification of the country's energy use data, and some sensitive data will be stored in the blockchain. The application of this technology can be regarded as a means for the modernization and safe operation of power infrastructure in this South American country
LGBT rights
blockchain can help build a "pink economy" and help LGBT communities fight for their own rights without revealing people's identities. This is an extremely important issue, because crimes of discrimination against homosexual groups often occur, especially in countries notorious for human rights violations, Homosexuality is illegal, or at least not allowed
catastrophe bonds
catastrophe bonds may be the only hope for victims of earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Blockchain allows fast and transparent reconciliation between the parties, and can ensure that the system can continue to operate normally even under unmanned operation. Now, blockchain has been successfully used in the settlement mechanism of catastrophe bonds
tourism
local institutions in Hawaii are studying how to use blockchain technology to improve the economy, such as opening bitcoin and other monetary payment means to facilitate tourists' transaction of local goods and services. In this way, the Hawaiian government hopes to attract tourists, especially those from Asia, to spend more money in the local area and improve the economic development of Hawaii
homeland security
in 2016, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a project that will use blockchain technology as a means of secure storage and capture of data transmission. DHS uses Factom's blockchain technology to encrypt and store data captured by security cameras and other sensors. The application of this blockchain technology will greatly rece the risk of data leakage. At present, the project is still in progress
maritime transportation
it is self-evident that blockchain is used to record ship transportation data. At present, some local shipping projects have adopted distributed ledger technology. In the maritime logistics instry, blockchain technology can make the inevitable cumbersome management proceres in international trade more transparent and orderly. Maersk, one of the world's largest shippers, is a pioneer in the use of blockchain. Today, Yixing international shipping company Zim has also made follow-up use of blockchain technology.

On September 18, 2018, Hangzhou Internet court was officially put on the chain and became the first court in the world to use blockchain for trial

it is understood that prosecutors can submit electronic evidence such as contract, rights protection process and service process details online through online appeal portal, and notarization office, forensic identification center, CA / RA organization, court and other chain nodes can witness and endorse together to provide one-stop service for prosecutors. Hangzhou Internet court of Zhejiang Province made a public judgment on a case of infringement on the right of network dissemination of works' information, and confirmed the legal effect of electronic data with blockchain technology for the first time

2. In the field of logistics

in early 2018, rookie and tmall global jointly announced that blockchain technology has been used to track, upload and verify the logistics full link information of cross-border imported goods

after all nodes of the logistics chain are connected to the blockchain, the goods can be traced from manufacturers to consumers, forming a complete chain; The more links the commodity is missing, the more likely it is to be a fake proct

3. Electronic invoice

on August 10, 2018, Shenzhen International Trade revolving restaurant issued the country's first blockchain electronic invoice. It is understood that this blockchain electronic invoice was led by Shenzhen Taxation Bureau and provided by Tencent with underlying technology and ability

different from traditional e-invoice and simple e-invoice on the chain, this blockchain e-invoice combines "capital flow and invoice flow", combines invoice issuing with online payment, and gets through the whole process of invoice application, invoice issuing, reimbursement and tax declaration

there are still many practical applications of blockchain. You can learn more about relevant information

3.

in the express logistics instry, there are blockchain companies in China, such as Walton chain

last year, Walton chain and cargo bag (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd. reached a strategic cooperation to help them improve their logistics solutions through the "RFID + blockchain" technical solution of Walton chain, and link the data of cargo bag in all aspects of its logistics turnover, such as the layout of the read-write system of key nodes such as in and out of warehouse, receiving and taking goods, when the objects pass any link, All the data can be read by RFID reader, and the corresponding behavior can be transformed into data, which can be uploaded to the blockchain. Users can trace the whole process of logistics with one click

the four business scenarios that can be implemented in the real environment are suitable for the application of blockchain technology

Scene 1: Express insurance

around the insurance scene, express companies carry out commodity transportation, insurance companies provide commodity insurance, merchants provide commodity sales, sellers purchase insurance services, and the government carries out instry supervision

then, what should be recorded on the blockchain? There are several key points, such as the logistics details, accounts, identities, claims and other reference data of commodities are recorded on the blockchain

insurance is the concept of contract. When the customer signs for the package normally, the account claims will be automatically triggered, the contract will end normally, and the premium will be automatically cleared. If there is a problem or lost part, the insurance company's claim process will be triggered

Scene 2: public express

for public welfare activities, such as "one cent" activities, one cent of the cost of each public parcel is donated to the account of public welfare organizations. In this scenario, the express company still undertakes the transportation of goods, the public welfare organizations provide the implementation of public welfare activities, and the poverty alleviation businesses provide the sales of public welfare poverty alleviation goods

then what is recorded in the blockchain is the logistics details of the goods. After the package is signed, it will be recorded on the blockchain and automatically trigger the transfer from the public welfare account of the logistics company to the account of the public welfare organization. When the public welfare activities are over, the whole process is open and transparent, avoiding the public's distrust of social public welfare activities

Scene 3: share the instry blacklist

the blacklist of express delivery practitioners is still dominated by offline mode at present. We hope that through the blockchain technology, each company can record the blacklist of employees on the blockchain, and other companies can also query, and the data can not be modified, and can be traced back to the information such as which company this person did what kind of inappropriate behavior

Scene 4: Supervision of security incidents in postal delivery channels

many express companies will install security inspection machines, and the government also wants to know whether each logistics company has any potential transportation security incidents. Through the mode of Distributed Accounting, each express company can record the effective information of the security event on the blockchain when there is a security event, so that the regulatory authorities can monitor in real time and can not tamper with it

4. Logistics instry is very suitable for the application of blockchain technology< In fact, logistics ecosystem is a community of interests composed of multiple participants. There is a concept of "flow" in the instry. Starting from the initial "business flow", it graally gave birth to "logistics", as well as the corresponding support of "capital flow" and "information flow"

there is a key problem behind the emergence of various "flows", that is, the transfer of commodity ownership. Many types of problems solved by blockchain technology are related to trust friction in the process of asset ownership transfer. Therefore, it can be concluded that the business scenario of multi flow integration in express logistics instry is very suitable for blockchain technology to play its value and effect. The application of blockchain technology can significantly improve the processing speed and efficiency of settlement business in express logistics instry, effectively solve the problem of traceability and anti-counterfeiting, and fully ensure the information security and the privacy of the sender and recipient. Next, I list four types of business scenarios suitable for the express logistics instry of blockchain technology

1) high value market. After digitizing high-value commodities, they are recorded on the blockchain to maintain asset ownership< 2) asset ownership transaction. After the assets are digitized, they are recorded on the blockchain for the record management of the asset transaction process

3) shared data scenario. Participants sharing data in the instry record these shared data in the form of blockchain ledger

4) compliance audit. The blockchain records the transactions within and between enterprises with non tamperable and traceable data. The compliance audit requires the input of these high-quality data, so it can be more rapid and efficient in technology

5. Yes, that's right! Ant blockchain is so incredible. It uses technology to link the real business behavior data of shippers, drivers and logistics companies through its own characteristics of being tamperable and leaving traces in the whole process, so as to reshape its own credit. In this way, the improvement of credit value also greatly increases the cost of financing Loan, mortgage and other financial business success rate, with the flow of funds can naturally make the logistics enterprise better development.

6. My understanding is that after ant chain's blockchain technology has been applied to the logistics platform, it has opened up the information system of the network freight platform, which can provide bank level account system and financial level identity verification. But this is also e to the ant blockchain technology's natural whole process trace characteristics. Combined with IOT and other new technologies, it ensures that the freight track verification is smooth and tamperable! To help small and medium-sized and micro enterprises improve their credit value based on business authenticity, with better credit blessing, it is easier to obtain the support of Inclusive Finance from banks. I wonder if my answer will help you

7. Blockchain application fields:
1. Financial field. Blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields. The application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can save the third-party intermediary link and realize the point-to-point direct docking, so as to greatly rece the cost and quickly complete the transaction payment< 2. Internet of things and logistics. Blockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics. Through blockchain, we can rece logistics costs, trace the proction and delivery process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management. This field is considered as a promising application direction of blockchain

3. Public service. Blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in public management, energy, transportation and other fields, but the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain. The decentralized and fully distributed DNS service provided by the blockchain can realize domain name query and resolution through the point-to-point data transmission service between nodes in the network. It can be used to ensure that the operating system and firmware of an important infrastructure have not been tampered with. It can monitor the status and integrity of the software and detect bad tampering, And ensure that the data transmitted by the system using the Internet of things technology has not been tampered with< 4. Digital rights. Through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works, and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership. After the works are confirmed on the blockchain, the subsequent transactions will be recorded in real time to realize the full life cycle management of digital rights, and can also be used as a technical guarantee in judicial evidence collection. For example, mine labs, a start-up company in New York, developed a metadata protocol based on blockchain. This system called mediachain uses IPFs file system to realize right protection of digital works, mainly for right protection applications of digital pictures

5. Insurance. In terms of insurance claims, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claims settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs. Through the application of smart contract, there is no need for the applicant to apply or the insurance company to approve. As long as the claim conditions are triggered, the automatic claim settlement of the policy can be realized. A typical application case is lenderbot, which was launched by the blockchain enterprise stratumdeloitte and payment service provider lemonway in 2016. It allows people to register customized micro insurance procts through the chat function of Facebook messenger to insure the high value items exchanged between indivials, and the blockchain replaces the third party role in the loan contract< 6. Public welfare. The data stored on the blockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision.

8. "Digital assets" refers to the original financial system in the form of electronic data, and has commercial or exchange value. Although it is a digital commodity, it reflects the nature of assets, so it is called "digital assets"“ The word "encryption" highlights its confidentiality. It's like being protected by a box that can't be opened. Others can't destroy it at will
Shenzhen fortune Financial Services Co., Ltd. focuses on the training of digital assets and business value-added points. For more information, please pay attention to the microblog "training of digital assets and business value-added points"!
