Blockchain in transportation! (intro)

I see that the price of Bitcoin has started to skyrocket again! This surely raises questions for many people about cryptocurrencies and the mysterious blockchain technology behind them. However, blockchain is not just for digital gold. It has the potential to revolutionize many industries, including the one that handles the delivery of your favorite pizza or online shopping packages! So, sit back and get ready for a ride through the fascinating world of blockchain technology in transportation.

Imagine the situation: You have ordered new sneakers online, but waiting for the delivery can be nerve-wracking. Where is the package actually located? Will it arrive on time? What if it gets lost? The classic shipment tracking system can often be unclear and inefficient. Blockchain arrives as the superhero of digital logistics, offering a solution for all these headaches.

But what is blockchain exactly? Forget about complicated technical terms. Imagine it as a huge digital book that is jointly managed by all parties involved in the transportation of goods. This book records all the important information about each step of your shipment’s journey – from the moment it leaves the warehouse to the moment it arrives at your doorstep.

Each entry in the book is called a “block” and contains information such as the location of the goods, the time of pickup and delivery, and even temperature or humidity (if it is delicate goods such as medicines). This allows all participants in the supply chain – from the seller and courier service to you – to see in real time where the package is located and whether everything is in order.

However, blockchain has another superpower – immutability. All blocks are interconnected and cryptographically protected, which means that no one can change or delete them. This eliminates the possibility of data manipulation and reduces the risk of theft or loss of goods.

Here’s how blockchain can specifically improve the transportation industry:

  • Transparency: Forget endless calls to courier services. With blockchain, you can see at any time where your shipment is located and when it will arrive. The end of the “In transit” status game.
  • Efficiency: Blockchain automates many administrative processes, such as checking customs documents. This means faster deliveries and fewer delays at borders. Goods from China in just a few days instead of a few weeks? With blockchain, that’s getting closer to reality.
  • Cost reduction: The elimination of paper documentation and automation of processes also means lower costs for transport companies. Too bad! Perhaps this will also be reflected in lower delivery prices for you. Also, optimizing routes and reducing unnecessary empty runs of vehicles thanks to the real-time location of goods further contributes to savings.
  • Security: Blockchain technology is a security fortress. Cryptographic protection prevents theft and data manipulation. This is especially important for the transportation of valuables or pharmaceuticals.
  • Sustainability: Real-time tracking of goods enables route optimization and reduces unnecessary empty runs of vehicles. This results in fewer CO2 emissions and contributes to environmental protection. The future is in green transportation, and blockchain can be a catalyst for that change.

Blockchain is still in its early stages of development in the transportation industry, but pilot projects are already showing promising results. For example, the IBM Food Trust blockchain platform is used to track the origin and transportation of food products, which helps to ensure food safety and prevent fraud. Another example is the Maersk blockchain platform, which is used to digitize and automate the documentation process for shipping containers. This reduces the time it takes to process shipments and improves the overall efficiency of the supply chain. Unfortunately, the second one failed, the idea by itself was beautiful but obviously execution was not (my personal opinion). Anyhow, this is still, new, young technology and we will see more new try & error attempts, but the important thing is, not losing your faith and keep rolling.

As blockchain technology continues to develop, it is expected to have a major impact on the transportation industry. It has the potential to make transportation more transparent, efficient, cost-effective, secure, and sustainable. This will benefit all stakeholders in the transportation industry, including shippers, carriers, and consumers.

In conclusion, blockchain technology is a revolutionary innovation with the potential to transform the transportation industry. It is still in its early stages of development, but the potential benefits are enormous. The future of transportation is bright, and blockchain is a key part of that future.
