Blockchain technology and logistics management
At the beginning of self-learning blockchain related knowledge, we can adopt the "bottom-up" method, that is, through reading books, reading white papers , we can check the information , and then summarize and connect these knowledge , and integrate them into a relatively complete knowledge system Before I went to university, I read a lot of books about the Analects of Confucius, all about how to read and understand the Analects of Confucius. Until one day, I found that I was so fond of the Analects, but I never had patience to read the original of the Analects seriously
so I went to the bookstore and bought a of the Analects of Confucius. I read it from the beginning to the end and found that there were too many details and insights in it, which could not be transmitted through any interpretation. Actually, I spent a lot of time and read a lot of interpretation before. I really want to abandon the essence and pursue the end. I have to work hard
it's the same in every field. When you don't understand it, you will have a kind of inexplicable fear of it, thinking that it is high and unattainable. In order to step into these fields quickly, you will look for a lot of so-called "interpretation" and "news" around it
2. technical perspective
Basic Stage:
1. Blockchain Development Guide - author Shentu Qingchun:
the author's research on the bottom layer of rendant bitcoin is very in-depth, and the explanation is very easy to understand
2. Blockchain technology guide - author Zou Jun:
as the first domestic book to explain blockchain from a technical perspective, it is worth reading. Since its publication in 2016, it has been consistently evaluated well
3. Principles, design and application of blockchain by Yang Baohua and Chen Chang:
as the CTO of Zhigui, Chen Chang remembers that the previous ink chain was based on hyperledger fabric, so this book has a thorough explanation of hyperledger related open source procts
3. Blockchain world is divided into two parts. The first part comprehensively reviews the birth, growth and graal development of blockchain in 2008 through full and accurate information, introces in detail the originality of blockchain technology, the scientific mechanism and the artistic logic, and introces the application characteristics of blockchain through more than ten instry scenarios such as finance, anti-counterfeiting and medical treatment. In the second part, combined with the spirit of G20 summit and the 13th five year plan, the author explores the combination of blockchain and digital economy, as well as the author's views and suggestions on the development trend of the instry
A: application fields of blockchain technology
I. financial field
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics
through the blockchain, we can rece the logistics cost, trace the proction and transportation process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, in the field of digital right, 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 In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios

A: the main application fields of blockchain technology are finance, Internet of things and logistics, public service, digital right, insurance and public welfare
First, in the field of finance,
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields
Second, the Internet of things and logisticsblockchain 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
Third, in the field of public service, blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy and transportation. However, the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain Fourthly, in the field of digital right, 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 In the field of insurance, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claim settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain 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

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.
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

logistics informatization has been stagnant, in addition to the lack of information technology in the logistics instry itself, the most important thing is that the information data is inaccurate, untrue and not timely. The application of blockchain technology in data right confirmation should be very smooth. Only the data needs to be linked, the uniqueness of the data can be verified and the data can not be tampered with. The true reflection of data can be most directly reflected in the supply chain finance, which can play a rapid role in promoting business operations such as risk assessment and pledge dection. On the other hand, in logistics, high value-added procts have a strong demand for traceability. Traceability requires authenticity and reliability, and records can not be tampered with. The application of blockchain can be well reflected here.
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

blockchain technology can record all links of goods in logistics
by creating a consensus network, we can directly locate the problems in the intermediate links of express delivery, and also ensure the traceability of information, so as to avoid the problems of express delivery, such as burst warehouse, packet loss, wrong collection, etc
