Blockchain Technology for Industry 4.0

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) has already widely adopted for industrial applications in tasks such as automation, diagnostics, and management of industrial machines and the processes inherent in the formation of supply chains. Such devices have unique characteristics, such as reduced processing and memory, low bandwidth for data transmission and data collection, and limited autonomy, as they are usually battery-powered.
