Blockchain and quality control
Some developments in the field of blockchain relate to product quality control https://savarian.tech/services/blockchain-testing/ at all stages from production to sale. For example, in the UK, a service is used that helps buyers trace the path of seafood from the moment it is caught to reaching the supermarket shelves. Walmart has experimented with blockchain technology with IBM in China. Watched the movement of pork from Chinese farmers to their stalls.
Data is entered into the blockchain by people. And they can enter any information. Until there is a developed Internet of Things, is the blockchain not so effective?
As a rule, data is entered not by people, but by integrated information systems. The Internet of Things or the manufacturer's ERP, for example. In order to hide some information, one must either systematically lie, or foresee that there will be some problems with the consignment of goods.
Blockchain creates a transparent and reliable history of the product, the ability to track the sources and ensures the impossibility of changing "backdating".
The Internet of Things provides additional opportunities for tracking, for example, that the storage temperature of milk and products from it did not exceed +5 degrees throughout the supply chain. Or the possibility of an automated transfer of ownership in the supply chain - the tanker touched the pier - the goods belong to the recipient.
Will this manufacturer have an advantage over other manufacturers?
I think, yes, a thing with provenance is somewhat better than a thing with an incomprehensible history.
Milk in the store that went all the way from cow to counter in 2 days looks better than milk that has a 2 month expiration date.
Is blockchain-based food control systems a trend?
Global trend - yes, of course. Two big problems are being solved - an open and unified history of the origin of goods for all, and a confident fight against counterfeiting. In 10 years, most likely, most large businesses will switch to solutions using blockchain in one way or another. 10 years is the average time for a large company to launch an IPO, I don't think it will happen sooner.
