BlockTracker

Many enterprises love the idea of storing provenance data (where a shipment was at a given time, under what conditions, owned by whom etc) permanently in blockchains. Unfortunately, these systems suffer from the proverbial garbage-in, garbage-out problem and there is no value in an immutable record of bad data. With BlockTracker the identity and integrity of every tracker are authenticated using blockchain security techniques with every data transmission, and every transmission is signed and encrypted with a dynamic key.

All provenance data is then permanently recorded in an immutable blockchain backend. Additionally, SmartAxiom’s IoT Smart Contract feature is used to securely push automation to devices. They run on BlockTracker and are used to change ownership and send notifications based on location or sensor triggers (eg the temperature is too hot or vibration too high). The IoT Smart Contracts can also safely install Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates.
