Positive Impacts of Blockchain and IoT on Supply Chain Operation

Blockchain and IoT are two different technologies coming together for increasing the reliability, efficiency and speed process of the supply chain operations. These technologies can offer various benefits for suppliers, manufacturers as well as other stakeholders of the supply chain. IoT devices can be utilized for monitoring and tracking the goods status throughout their journey in the supply chain. The information can be easily shared with blockchain based framework; as a result, all the network participants can access the data in real time.
The amalgamation of these two technologies will significantly boost the movement of goods around the borders. This is a reason why blockchain has become the safe and efficient medium for cross border transaction which is cheaper and prevented from any fraud due to the presence of distributed ledger of the blockchain.
Smart Contracts to Speed up The Payment Cycle
Blockchain smart contracts are well designed to offer great efficiency and speed up the supply chain process. These self-executing computer programs worked according to certain terms of agreement between parties which can be automatically executed according to the occurrence of defined events.  Like, a manufacturer may deal with retailer under smart contract with the payment terms being conditional on goods delivered in good condition at the retailer’s facility.  The banks of retailers and manufacturers have access to check the status of a contract while IoT devices access to show the actual status of shipment and trigger the payment execution in terms of delivery of goods. As the banks can access the original contract so they can validate the transaction to speed up the payment cycle. The payment will release only when the condition is met.  Apart from monetary transactions, smart contracts can also work on other aspects of blockchain like temperature control of location traceability.
Ensure Safe and Secure Transmission of goods
The big industries such as perishable food and pharmaceuticals are required to transport their goods on specific temperature ranges. The temperature feeds can be captured through onboard sensors but it is important that captured and transmitted date needs to be tamperproof. In this scenario, IoT based supply chain blockchain ensured that captured information is authentic and transmitted the same information on the IoT platform.  This will ensure that goods are received under regulatory compliant and help in eliminating the suspected frauds.
