APPAREIL ET PROCÉDÉ D'UTILISATION DE CHAÎNES DE BLOCS AVEC DES DONNÉES DE TRANSFERT DE GARDE SÉCURISÉES, DES DONNÉES D'ÉTANCHÉITÉ ET D'AUTRES DONNÉES ASSOCIÉES À DES TRANSFERTS DE MATÉRIAU

摘要

A method includes obtaining data associated with material that is transferred during a material transfer involving multiple parties and/or equipment associated with the material transfer. The method also includes generating an update to a blockchain based on the data and updating a local copy of the blockchain using the update. The method further includes publishing the update to one or more nodes for updating one or more additional copies of the blockchain. The blockchain could identify one or more sealing actions associated with one or more seals applied to the equipment or components of the equipment, such as when the blockchain sequentially identifies all sealing actions applied to the equipment or the components of the equipment. The data could include contents of a document associated with the transfer of the material, and the update to the blockchain could include the contents or a hash of the contents.
