Blockchain-Assisted IoT Wireless Framework for Equipment Monitoring in Smart Supply Chain: A Focus on Temperature and Humidity Sensing

Abstract

This article addresses the dynamic landscape of smart supply chain management, characterized by the integration of cutting-edge technologies. It proposes an IoT-Blockchain system for monitoring equipment status in a smart supply chain environment. The system utilizes IoT sensors to collect temperature and humidity data from the equipment. This collected data is then processed and stored in the cloud using the InfluxDB database. To further enhance security and transparency in the monitoring process, the system incorporates blockchain technology. This ensures the tamper-proof nature of collected data through the deployment of smart contracts. The monitoring platform developed on Grafana provides users with an intuitive dashboard for accessing real-time information about the equipment’s status. The proposed system offers a comprehensive monitoring solution for sensitive supply chain operations, allowing stakeholders to track the equipment’s journey along the supply chain and monitor its status in real-time. This system has the potential to revolutionize supply chain monitoring, providing an efficient and secure way to optimize equipment performance and improve overall supply chain efficiency.
