the challenges of visibility in the supply chain. One
of the reasons why we worked with Mojix is
because they already have technology and know-
how in supply chains for scanning RFIDs.“
- Actually an academic project is carried out with
> a dozen companies (retailsers and brands) by
the Aubun University
- Turn a distributed ledger into the „connected
tissue“ that gives complicated cross-industry
supply chains real-time accuracy
- Deploy Ethereum, automating the writing,
shipping and receiving of transactions in smart
contracts on the blockchain

supply chain transition, authentication of the
courier and customer, ambient temperature of the
container, temperature of the product if available,
acceptable thresholds for ambient temperature of
the product, package contents placed in the
container system (products & goods), or a
combination thereof.“
