Application of blockchain technology in logistics supply chain
A: practical application 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. 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 Sixth, the data stored on the public welfare fieldblockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios
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

The application of blockchain technology in the supply chain, first of all, provides a credit guarantee. The circulation information of commodities is recorded on the blockchain, which can prove the authenticity and reliability of commodities and their circulation, so as to make a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of enterprises on the chain, and become an effective guarantee for enterprise bank loan credit, financing credit and transaction credit
first of all, the blockchain can time stamp all the transaction data in the supply chain, which can not be tampered at will. Even if it can tamper with the transaction data of a node, it can not cover the sky with only one hand. Therefore, the blockchain solves the bank's doubts about the tampering of enterprise information. For some small enterprises, as long as the credit is good, The possibility of getting loans from banks will be greatly increased
secondly, through effective integration, the information between upstream and downstream enterprises recorded in the blockchain can not only provide support for enterprises in proction, sales and other links, but also for downstream enterprises to analyze customer preferences, so as to develop targeted services
the definition of supply chain is: around the core enterprise, from the supporting parts to the intermediate procts and final procts, and finally the procts are delivered to the consumers by the sales network, which is a whole function network chain structure from suppliers, manufacturers, distributors to the end users.
The development of blockchain has been booming. What are the application areas of blockchain
at present, the most extensive and successful application of blockchain technology is digital currency represented by bitcoin. In recent years, digital currency has developed rapidly. Due to the characteristics of decentralized credit and frequent transactions, it has high transaction value and can maintain a relatively stable price by developing hedging financial derivatives as quasi super sovereign currency
