Abstract
This chapter examines the possibility of the blockchain to transform the way a supply chain is, by making information accessible, transparent and audit friendly between manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and ultimate consumers in real-time. It explores core concepts of the blockchain or what is called as a distributed consensus, smart contracts, and cryptographic security and shows how these capabilities enable organizations to track and document the origin, authenticity, and condition of products, goods and materials, all the way to the point of sale.moreover, the chapter discusses the implementation of blockchain in such fields as food safety, pharmacy, luxury trading, and logistics mentioning the practical examples of the industrial giants such as Walmart, IBM and Maersk. The combination of blockchains with emerging technology such as edge computing and IoT is also analyzed as a possibility of offering sensor based tracking and automatized updates.
