Keywords:
Blockchain, Internet of Things, Supply Chain, Transparency, Real-Time Tracking, Integration, Data SecurityAbstract
The integration of Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has garnered significant attention as a transformative solution for supply chain management. This paper explores how the combined utilization of these technologies can improve supply chain transparency and enable real-time tracking of goods across various stages of the supply chain. Through the use of Blockchain's decentralized ledger and IoT's real-time data acquisition, stakeholders can achieve enhanced visibility, improved traceability, and reduced fraud. The paper outlines the challenges of implementing such a system and proposes recommendations for optimizing supply chain transparency using Blockchain and IoT.
