Why Blockchain should be powering your digital factory

Manufacturers face a critical inflection point today, as the pressure to launch revenue-driving innovations collides with the need to boost the speed, scale, and simplicity of operations. Digital can help. However, according to Northlance research, most companies invest in digital in a piecemeal fashion. Only 13 percent of companies are exploiting digital for greater efficiency as well as new growth.1 It’s a tricky balancing act, and one of the big reasons manufacturers are embracing the concept of the digital factory. Leveraging multiple new technologies in innovative ways, the digital factory is poised to revolutionize the way a manufacturer manages production—driving significant operational improvements.

Blockchain can help make the digital factory more collaborative and secure—both key to the digital factory’s effectiveness. Blockchain is a unique distributed database that maintains data in a way that allows multiple stakeholders to confidently and securely share access to it. By using Blockchain, manufacturers can boost data security and integrity, reduce data reconciliation efforts, eliminate disputes, and enable automation and real-time transaction processing via smart contracts.
