Step 2 - Implementation and Testing of SupChain with the Use of Blockchain
After implementing and debugging the first stage of the SupChain development, the system will be transferred to Ethereum Blockchain with the use of smart contracts. In case of similar functionality, pure data on arrivals and shipments is recorded in the IPFS blockchain system instead of the cen- tralized system, while the signatures of participants and links to data are recorded in the Ethereum smart contract. This makes it possible to prevent data loss and makes shifting participant keys auton- omous and secure.
Savex Minerals and Armor Ceramics are partnered with blockchain development experts at Ambis- afe. The latter are responsible for testing the beta versions of the products and adapting the sys- tem to the requirements of manufacturing businesses and the needs of the end consumers. At the moment, there is an agreement with the Interpipe -
http://www.interpipe.biz/en/ - an internationally renowned manufacturer of pipe and wheel products to cooperate in the development, adjustment, and integration of SupChain in their production supply chain.
In the initial stage of developing the technology, the Ethereum platform will most likely be used to support SupChain. The possibility of eventually transferring the entire system to a separate block- chain platform is being considered in order to reduce expenses and optimize the system.
