Logistics Industry: Next Step to Global Economy’s Blockchainization

There is a new addition to the list of industries winning by Blockchain's compulsory advances. Today, it is continuously crossing the logistics field, which is the perfect fit for technology. This year we have hinted at the growing interest of the market that how block block can change logistics and transportation industries.

Logistics and Block Chain: An Ideal Match

Blockchain, BitTwine's built-in technique, is a very safe and effective way to share information among the parties. It creates an irreversible digital treasure of the transaction, which is maintained by the distributed network of computers.

The ability to share this technique, it is tampered-proof architecture and complete transparency, which makes us an ideal tool for the way we revolutionize the way supply chain handles today.

Logistics has been defined as a plan structure for the management of materials, services and information flow. Logistics of physical goods usually involves the integration of information flow, transportation, storage and security often.

Logistic chains are often several steps and hundreds of geographic locations are span. Obviously, it is more difficult to trace the events in the entire series, validating and validating the goods being transmitted and reacting immediately to unexpected situations.

Apart from this, due to the lack of transparency, it is very difficult to check illegal activities anywhere on the line.

Blockchain has the ability to solve all the above issues. Being a transparent public account holder, it will provide simple and effective tools for customers and auditors to complete the sequence of travel so that one product can be taken before reaching the final destination. An important aspect of blockchain is that it can only provide its full benefit if all the members of the logistics chain have access to the network.

In addition to dealing with industry-specific issues, Blockchain immediately brings a general package of benefits to the table. Not only does it eliminate unnecessary intermediaries and the workflow reduces volume, but it also provides fake block protection, reducing errors, wrongful detection of illegal items and other fraudulent efforts.

As a result of this bonus, this new paradigm promised a much more potential cost-saving profit for the industry.

To date, several attempts have been made to integrate blockchain in the logistics industry.

Implementation of the real world: This is happening!

In October 2016, both members of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and the Wells Fargo - R3 Consortium - have made the first global business transaction through the techniques of BlackChain and Smart Contract.

The transaction included a shipments of cotton worth 35,000 dollars from Texas, US to Qingdao, China and successfully started so far, this project was not seen to be more rapidly. The banks were obviously optimistic about the new technology but they admitted that so far "full blockchains" are not ready to go. Chris Lewis, manager of Wells Fargo's business services, said "important regulatory, legal and other concerns have to be addressed."

Shortly after, a similar project was made by the port of Rotterdam, one of Europe's largest shipping ports. The effort received support from the scores of organizations and universities in the Netherlands and is scheduled for a comprehensive trial period for the next two years.

Corporations are also testing water, Derek Shipping was exploring the way to digitize the dynamic Marsak workflow and ways to manage the company's cargo in a more efficient and transparent manner.

With the help of IBM, Marsak is now researching its unique implementation of BlockChain Technology, which relies on the Hyperlagere Fabric Framework, which will allow millions of container visits per year and better integration with the customs officials.

Walmart, the largest American retail company, is also working on IBM's Hyperlageer Fabric in its distributed laser technology pilot project, which will track the origins of pork in China and its transportation and storage in America. In addition, Wal-Mart has recently patented a blockchain-based application to facilitate drone delivery.

Many other corporations (Amazon, Alibaba, Castel, etc.) have already shown interest in using blockchain for their logistic needs. Still surprisingly this view has become quite empty when it came on publicly funded startup. Only two such projects have been popped up, the first blockfreed and the second A2B

Blockfreight is an Australian-based company, established by industry veterans, which deals with container transportation and related activities. The necessary characteristics of BlockFrite, Itorium Blockchain and a Merchant Token BFT: Smart Contracts are formed on the XCP, which will be used for all transactions in the Blockfreeite network. This will allow the forum to track all shipping data and prevent fraud.

The scope of Blockfreight was set on a normal target of 1.9 MLN, in which continuous tokens were sold in several rounds. Today, for more than a year in development, this project is still very much in the phase of experimental research and development. So far the work has not been done in the previous system of underlying technology design and research.

Other startups, Eastern European company A2B, are mostly associated with logistics markets of Ukraine and Belarus. A2B is a service that provides direct communication between the cargo owners and freight forwarding agents, and most of the workflow runs out the quantity, leaving the forwarding expenses.

Its new logistic model will not be made from scratch, but it will be prepared in the form of synthesis of already existing and fully circulated A2B direct platform and blockchain technology. The founders hope to enable cheap and easy international transportation from this step, and allow businesses and customers to use both fetal and cryptoconentials.

ICO of the forum is coming 12 July and will be of one month. A2B tries to increase € 0.5 to € 3 million, which allows the company to expand into Western European and American markets with high yoga.

The road ahead is clear

As a means of global blockless and transparent commodity circulation, transport and logistics industries are the vascular system of global business. Like any other old industry, they suffer from issues, and Blockchain's revolutionary paradigm is a way of solving many of them.

Presenting Blackchain and Smart Contracts in Logistics, potentially provides real time cargo traceability, reduced workflow and increased transparency. Once created, BlackChane proves to be a very cheap and secure infrastructure with ease in integration with high scalability and other industries.

The adoption of blockchain in logistics can not be adequately compatible with the current risks and doubts, but with every successful project coming closer in the future, and we can safely estimate that blockchain Industry will spread like wildfire
