A fishy supply chain
29 April 2019
How the Internet of Things and Blockchain are assisting food supply chains.
The UTS Network and Cybersecurity team are developing next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain technologies to empower the Australian Food Industry.
In particular, we are developing IoT technologies to achieve real-time tracking across food production and transport. Blockchain data platforms are developed to secure IoT data records and enable trusted data sharing. Smart contracts are developed to automate supply chain management.
Blockchain enabled mobile Apps are developed for consumers to achieve verifiable provenance and traceability.
