Synopsis

Blockchain has potential to revolutionize how manufacturers design, engineer, make and scale their products. Blockchain is gradually proving to be an effective "middleware" solution for enabling seamless interoperability within complex supply chains. Due to its technological nature, blockchain enables secure, transparent and fast data exchanges as well as allowing for the creation of immutable records databases The main advantage of Blockchain in Manufacturing Industries is product traceability, supply chain transparency, compliance monitoring, and auditability. Moreover, leveraging blockchain technology into a manufacturing enterprise can enhance its security and reduce the rates of systematic failures. So, blockchain is now used in various sectors of the manufacturing industry, such as automotive, aerospace, defense, pharmaceutical, consumer electronics, textile, food and beverages, and more. Hence, Blockchain should be seen as an investment in future-readiness and customer-centricity, not as an experimental technology – because, the evidence is overwhelming.

This book will explore the strengths of Blockchain adaptation in Manufacturing Industries and Logistics Management, cover different use cases of Blockchain Technology for Manufacturing Industries and Logistics Management, and will discuss the role, impact and challenges of adopting Blockchain in Manufacturing industries and Logistics Management. The chapters will also provide the current open issues and future research trends of Blockchain, especially for Manufacturing Industries and Logistics, and will encapsulate quantitative and qualitative research for a wide spectrum of readers of the book.
