IoT solutions for
Logistics & Supply
Chain Management
The pressure on the logistics industry is growing. Due to global changes, warehouse automation and customer’s increased e-commerce expectations, the requirements for the optimization of complex supply chains have grown steadily. Thanks to IoT applications, in the future logistics solutions can be made more efficient, flexible, and transparent. But they will only be successful if supply chain partners have complete faith in underlying data.
The UBIRCH solution makes just that possible. Complex supply chain data is anchored in the blockchain in a tamper-proof manner. Unmanipulable, unalterable, it provides a solid basis upon which supply chain participants can communicate with their supply chain partners in real time and transparently transmit and use trustworthy data and documents. This enables logistics service providers to use the data transfer capabilities of their IoT applications to their full potential.

Track & Trace
Whether it is parcels, containers or complete shiploads, in logistics, the clear identification of deliveries plays an important role in determining shipment statuses, transport routes or the turnaround times of load carriers. The UBIRCH solution guarantees the trustworthiness of time and location information and provides intelligent Tracking and Tracing systems with the ability to anchor the sensitive data from all those involved in the process securely and verifiably in the blockchain. The advantages are continuous transparency in the logistics chain, leaner coordination processes and a more efficiently designed supply chain.

Supply Chain
From the field to the table, from the seed to the finished product. Increasingly informed consumers are attaching importance to trustworthy documentation on the food they consume. For complex supply chains and interlinked networks involving businesses such as seed producers, farmers, suppliers, and traders, UBIRCH can product traceability through verifiable and block-chain secured data completely transparent. Time, location and process data are merged into verifiable and tamper-proof data sets.

CHALLENGING SUPPLY CHAINS
Cold Chain, Hot Chain, Don't Shake-Chain, Low UV-Chain, X-Chain. A large number of sensitive goods, especially in the food, pharmaceutical or chemical industries, require special conditions during shipment. Upon delivery the recipient must be sure that all the conditions have been met. Sensor data can make this information transparent with the UBIRCH solution making it tamper-proof. This is because data from everyone involved in the transport route is anchored in the blockchain, making it verifiable and trustworthy at all times. The UBIRCH solution can be implemented on pre-existing sensors, trackers or simply and implemented without having to rely on a uniform platform.

Cutting out time and costs in fresh fruit logistics with SIGNiT®
Food logistics has very special requirements as speed is essential due to the fact that goods may go off if there is a delay in delivery. This may also be the case if the temperature or other conditions get out of the specified range during transportation. For some foodstuffs, there is even a risk of fraud if goods are replaced with similar items, e.g. with food of poorer quality or from another place of origin. Further, as fruit is sourced globally, several national and international laws and rules have to be considered. In Germany, for instance, there is a new supply chain law (“Lieferketten Gesetz”) with several requirements and specifications relating to food. Together with our partners Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and Lufthansa Industry Solutions (LHIND), we have developed a solution for this.

Parametric assurances will become increasingly important in the future – but we also need solutions to obtain reliable IoT sensor data.
UBIRCH uses the intelligent application of blockchain technology to provide an exciting solution.
Dr. Matthias Maslaton, Director Sales/Product/Innovation, ARAG SE
Developing a IoT device involves solving a whole host of problems including certification, user experience, battery life and firmware.
Thanks to UBIRCH’s solution we were able to solve our IoT data security issue very easily. At the same time, the UBIRCH system has enabled us to add a strong additional feature to our product without having to develop it ourselves.
Katrin Reuter, CEO and founder, trackle
Digital twins are key to digital transformation – these duplicates are often generated by data from IoT sensors.
UBIRCH technology offers the unique opportunity to intrinsically secure such data. I see great potential especially when it comes to integrating the UBIRCH solution on SIM cards.
Peter Weichsel, Partner Deloitte Technology Advisory
Where industrial IoT applications are concerned, it is usually extremely important that data from IoT devices can be distributed securely - especially when we are working in complex IoT ecosystems.
In terms of solving this problem, the UBIRCH solution looks to hold great promise.
Dr. Holger Schlüter, Deputy Director Internet of Things (IoT), Lufthansa Industry Solutions
Ubirch renders the data from our clients' facilities invoiceable, thus making it available for pay-per-use business models.
What we especially like about the Ubirch solution is that the Ubirch client can be easily implemented in any IIoT solution.
