How COVID19 Highlighted Need for Blockchain Supply Chains
summary
COVID-19 exposes paper-based, manual supply chains and pushes for digitalization using blockchain, AI and IoT to preserve provenance and continuity. The concrete proposal: record transport documents and sensor data like temperature and location IoT sensors on an encrypted public ledger, run AI for anomaly detection and dynamic rerouting, and enforce transfers via smart contracts tied to ERP systems. Vendors report pilots (seafood traceability, cold chains) and claim the stack needs hundreds of thousands of transactions per second — feasible but requiring broad adoption and integration.
