Blockchain and IoT Based Textile Manufacturing Traceability System in Industry 4.0.

Growth towards Industry 4.0 has a significant impact on the textile manufacturing industry. In this emerging technology the business and engineering processes are interconnected. The product traceability system is playing a vital role in each sector. Unfortunately, the traditional systems in textile manufacturing industries faced a lot of challenges due to in-house process and supply chain complexity. These systems do not provide a means for reliable and rapid response to backtrack data throughout the textile process of the product. Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) based processes have the capacity to overcome these challenges while deploying over the traditional product traceability system. The blockchain and IoT based system provides many benefits such as communication between product process flow to improve the performance and reduce risk, improve quality, continuous involvement of worker, product fault traceability, increase supply chain visibility, and customer’s reliability and trust-ability. In this paper, we proposed Blockchain and IoT based product traceability system. This system facilitates all stakeholders like Raw Material Suppliers, Yarn Manufacturers, Customers, and Consumers to track, monitor, and quality of the product and efficient tracking of the supply chain. This proposed solution will help textile manufacturers to improve the efficiency and quality of each product. The customer’s reliability and trust-ability will boost the manufacturer due to automated data insertion through the IoT technology, decentralized, immutable, auditable, and fault tolerance blockchain technology and traceability features.
