A Blockchain Implementation Prototype for the Electronic Open Source Traceability of Wood along the Whole Supply Chain
This is the first work to introduce the use of blockchain technology for the electronic traceability of wood from standing tree to final user. Infotracing integrates the information related to the product quality with those related to the traceability [physical and digital documents (Radio Frequency...
