Food Traceability on Blockchain
File Type: Document, Infographic
https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/food-traceability-on-blockchain/
Sep 28, 2017 - This case study looks at Walmart’s pilot projects with IBM to track mangoes in the Americas and pork in China, from farm to table with focus on food safety. Blockchain technology helps to identify the source of contamination quickly, so that food producers, processors, distributors, and retailers can act quickly and protect the public from harm.
Autonomous Vehicles and Blockchain
File Type: Document, Infographic
https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/autonomous-vehicles-and-blockchain/
Aug 31, 2019 - This project explores how blockchain technology will optimize the deployment of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), including those with electric vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. It looks at the Mobile Open Blockchain Initiative, which involves 80 percent of world’s auto manufacturers and leading tech firms. It covers such implementation challenges as blockchain latency and scalability, communications network latency, device security, and regulation. Finally, it raises concerns about data privacy on immutable distributed ledgers as well as the legal liabilities of CAV ownership and usage.
The Ledger of Every Thing
File Type: Document, Infographic
https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/the-ledger-of-every-thing/
Nov 22, 2017 - This project explores the intersection of Internet of Things and blockchain as a means of securing transactions among objects, realizing efficiencies, establishing appropriate boundaries between public and private, and developing strategies for business leaders across industry. It maps out the typical architecture of an IoT deployment in terms of connectivity, identity, sensing, and actuation. The author walks through the challenges of centralized and decentralized IoT designs, from scalability, latency, and transaction costs to privacy, durability, and interoperability of systems.
Foxconn 4.0
File Type: Document, Infographic
https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/foxconn-4-0/
Oct 23, 2017 - Foxconn is among the first manufacturers to implement blockchain technology in its supply chain. This project looks at Chained Finance, which consists of a procurement market and the handling of logistics, accounting, inventory, finance, and sales functions. Participants’ visibility into orders and the movement of assets enables them to provide trade finance and short-term loans to tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers as needed and at better rates than the traditional financial system.
Blockchain and the Project Management Office

https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/blockchain-and-the-project-management-office/
May 21, 2019 - This research delves into the current state of project management and how blockchain technology is beginning to transform it. Its authors identify five key areas where blockchain-based platforms and applications can support the efforts of the project management office, including creating and managing digital records, exchanging digital assets, verifying and reinforcing acceptable performance, building reputation systems, and executing smart contracts. It presents case studies of enterprises that are currently deploying blockchain to manage clinical trials, construction projects, and the provenance and custody of assets in collaborations with ...
Transforming Plastic Pollution Using Blockchain
File Type: Document, Infographic
https://www.blockchainresearchinstitute.org/project/transforming-plastic-pollution-using-blockchain/
Aug 13, 2019 - This research highlights the findings and recommendations of The Coca-Cola Company’s study of single-use plastic packaging waste. The author makes the case that blockchain technology has potential for addressing the challenges of plastic waste in our environment. Specifically, distributed ledgers, combined with global positioning and microtagging, provide a mechanism for tracking plastic through the supply chain and support incentive systems for recycling or reusing it and choosing biodegradable options. It is a must-read for executives in the consumer packaged goods industry.
