Blockchain to launch aerospace industry to higher levels of performance and security


Blockchain solutions for aviation industry hold high potential and capabilities for applications. Blockchain technology can be used to ease out many aviation functions such as flight operations, monitoring and overhaul. Aerospace, aviation and defense industries are keen for blockchain adoption given the potential of the breach of content and crucial information utilized by them.
Blockchain has for the first time introduced the possibility of a fully integrated ecosystem for flight data (fuel usage, flight conditions etc.) and the entire aviation industry. The ecosystem, besides significantly improving the efficiencies will all also reduce the costs.
In future, aircraft components could be registered in a blockchain with all the relevant data. If a component malfunctions, maintenance technicians can review its exact number of flight hours to decide whether to repair or replace it.
There are plenty of more use cases for blockchain in aerospace, such as:
·         Engine and parts leasing through smart contracts
·         Baggage tracking for the connecting fights
·         Airport slot management
·         Ticketing, security and identity
·         Real-time flight information
·         Pilot’s log no matter where they worked
·         Customer loyalty programs, and many more


Aviation industry is turning to blockchain
In July 2018, aviation giant Boeing announced its partnership with artificial intelligence company SparkCognition to track autonomous air vehicles while in flight and to assign them secure flight paths. Air transport technology provider SITA Lab, Miami International Airport, British Airways, Heathrow Airport and Geneva Airport have come together to explore the implementation of blockchain to create a single source of truth for the flight data. AVINOC, a platform for global General Aviation (GA) business that brings air traffic control, travel agencies and passengers together has already implemented blockchain into its business aviation sector.
Enhanced digital decision making
Blockchain, combined with AI has far reaching implications for autonomous vehicles. Currently, relaying commands from earth to a spacecraft is a slow process taking hours. Moreover, the scientists spend valuable time to perform routine tasks such as dodging the space debris. Ethereum-based smart contracts will allow for enhanced digital decision making and freeing up time for further research. NASA has given its consent for the development of a blockchain based autonomous spacecraft.
Removing human element from the supply chain
GSC Aviation’s blockchian aims to minimize aircraft accidents by eliminating human error.  With this, the thinking goes, the chances of accidents happening due to human error will also be eliminated. GSC’s project has the potential to mitigate the loss of human life by eliminating the human element entirely from the supply chain.
A recent report by Accenture says that about 86 % companies expect to integrate blockchain into their corporate systems within the next three years. Blockchain has high potential to provide immense benefits to numerous suppliers involved in the manufacturing a single aircraft.

Blockchain Technology Is Ready to Redefine the Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management covers the planning and execution of different processes within the supply chain that includes information flow, financial capital flow, and material flow. The supply chain management defines as a complete process of flow of goods; services and information include the storage and movement of raw materials, product development, and full-fledge finished goods supply from one place to another. Importance of supply chain management   The proper implementation of supply chain management will benefit you by:- Increasing sales Eliminate the chances of frauds and overhead costs Enhance the quality of improvisation Lead to boost production and distribution Eliminate the cost and complexity of the manufacturing process But, currently, the supply chain is troubling with various issues that impact on its efficiency level. The supply chain management is lacking due to difficulty in tracking down, inefficient customer services, high costing...

Introduction of blockchain in supply chain management

Blockchain technology has come up with various possibilities in the situation that need clear visibility for multiple participants, entities, and levels in the supply chain. It is a powerful distributed ledger technology that has a great ability to transform the way enterprises work in different sectors ranging from compliance and regulatory and handling medical records.  The distribute ledge technology (DLT) of blockchain is not broadly using but it is a specific industry application that cannot be more compelling than modern supply chains that operate in different geographies in different time zones. Quality information plays a vital role when it comes to take important decisions for the supply chain. It is something that can make the supply chain more reliable and promising for businesses including in large supply chains.  The supply chain blockchain offers real-time data and various details that include humidity conditions and temperature conditions for a specific asse...
