A Platform-independent, Generic-purpose, and Blockchain-based Supply Chain Tracking

Supply Chain Tracking (SCT) is considered as a major challenge for stakeholders of heterogeneous production, processing, transporting, storing, and selling systems. Studies on solutions in SCT reveal that many centralized SCT applications lack a design, which can support or even enable main features of a reliable, transparent, and publicly accessible SCT system for end users. This work demonstrates the implementation of a SCT application which, employs SC on the Ethereum blockchain (BC). This Decentralized Application (Dapp) provides a hardware-and platform-independent approach that flexibly enables multiple object combinations and transformations to be tracked with a use case-agnostic design and utilization.
