Blockchain Case Studies


Walmart Food Tracking

Challenge: It can take up to days weeks to track the source for an outbreak of a food-borne disease.


Benefit: Better traceability could help save lives by allowing companies to act faster and protect the livelihoods of farmers by only discarding produce from the affected farms.


Approach: Walmart created a food traceability system based on Hyperledger Fabric. Walmart, together with IBM, ran two POCs to test the system. First one for tracing mangos sold in Walmart US stores and the other one to trace pork sold in its China stores. The tracing improved from 7 days to 2.2 seconds.


Honeywell Marketplace 

Challenge: To cut purchasing time for aerospace products from days or weeks down to seconds. Also, to connect each physical part to its digital equivalent.

 

Benefit: Purchased time reduced from days to minutes and boost to anti-counterfeit measures.

Approach: Honeywell created a online marketplace system based on Hyperledger Fabric. Tracking of new and old parts for aircrafts is done with the same. Also, it created a trust system due to cryptography as most purchases happened using bonds. Any seller can launch his/her own selling system for aircraft parts using Honeywell solution known as Go Direct.

ARISE GHANA YOUTH (A Must Read)

Dear fellow Ghanaian Youth, As the youth of our country, we are at a unique and crucial moment in history. Our generation is the first to grow up with access to modern and emerging technologies that are transforming the world at an unprecedented pace. These technologies have the potential to improve our lives in countless ways, but they also bring new challenges and opportunities that require us to think deeply about our future. One of the biggest challenges we face is the fact that many of our current leaders are not well-versed in these technologies. While this is not a generalization and there are certainly exceptions, the average age of leaders in European countries is significantly lower than that of many African countries, including Ghana. This is not to say that older leaders are inherently less capable, but it does mean that they may not fully understand the impact and potential of these new technologies. But this is where we, as the youth of Ghana, have an opportunity to step

Todays Punch - What are Algorithms and Data Structures

Image
Algorithms and data structures are fundamental concepts in computer science that play a critical role in the design and implementation of software systems. These concepts are essential for any software engineer or developer who wants to create efficient and effective solutions to real-world problems. An algorithm is a set of instructions that specifies a sequence of steps to be followed in order to solve a problem or accomplish a task. Algorithms can be expressed in many different ways, including natural languages, pseudocode, and programming languages. No matter how they are expressed, all algorithms follow the same basic structure: they consist of a set of inputs, a set of steps to be followed (called the "algorithm"), and a set of outputs. Data structures, on the other hand, are used to store and organize data in a computer so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently. Different types of data structures are suited to different kinds of applications, and some are hig
