Framework for enabling order management process in a decentralized production network based on the blockchain-technology

摘要

The promise of immutable documents to make it easier and less expensive for consumers and producers to collaborate in a verifiable way would represent an enormous progress, especially as companies strive for establish service contracts which are based on the flow of many small transactions using machine-to-machine communication. The blockchain technology logs these data, verifies the authenticity and make them available for service offers. This work deal with an architecture enabling to setup order processing between consumers and producers using blockchain. In this way, the technical feasibility is shown and the special characteristics of blockchain production networks will be discussed.
