Digitalization
Digitalization in production technology
An increasingly networked production in the sense of industry 4.0 allows completely new possibilities regarding an improved and more efficient production quality. With Blockchain technology, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, production processes can be made safer and more transparent and production quality significantly increased.
Blockchain can lead to increased robustness and increased efficiency in production. Due to their complexity and low buffer stocks, today's production networks are susceptible to unexpected disruptions such as a supplier failure. In this scenario a quick and complete overview of the delivery capability of the remaining suppliers and their available stocks is required in order to coordinate alternative procurement channels as quickly as possible. Through Blockchain this required transparency can be achieved by means of comprehensive real-time information, when all suppliers write their information about production progress and stocks into the Blockchain. In addition, there is the opportunity to systematically track individual parts through the production network.
