What is a « Blockchain »?
« a decentralized, distributed permissioned digital ledger »
What is a « Blockchain »
Smart Contracts & Process automation
“A Smart Contract is the automated execution of an
agreement.” (code)
Smart Contracts are tiny pieces of software code that
execute autonomously on the Blockchain.
Contracts are made between humans.
Smart Contracts are running agreements between
humans, apps & devices.
Smart Contracts & Process automationBenefits:➢ Control automated execution,
minimize contract fulfilmentrisks
➢ Cost much lower thx to less human intervention, third-parties, papers
➢ Security secure execution on the Blockchain, cryptography
➢ Transparency all contract transitions can be verified
➢ Flexibility anything is possible —> “programmable money / flows of value”
Smart Contracts & Process automation
When multiple companies share data & processes across a digital collaborative supplychains, Smart Contracts enable:
➢ New capabilities to be added to existingservices & processes across the group
➢ Collaboration criteria to be strictly and autonomously enforced
Current challenges in Logistics/Transportation
Customer expectations:
➢ B2B: cost efficiency, transparency, better traceability and predictability
➢ B2C: get goods faster, more flexibility, low delivery cost
Technological breakthroughs:
➢ Digital is a challenge: lack of digital culture and training
➢ Outdated IT solutions in the age of Mobile, Cloud, IoT, Data, Analytics, Blockchain
➢ Automation will reshape the workforce
Challenge of Collaboration:
➢ Consortium model, who pays the bill
➢ Share granular data, security, transparency vs privacy
Increased pressure from competition, authorities, regulators
➢ EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
➢ Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) -> November 2023
Blockchain : The Backbone of Digital Supply-Chains
Enhanced visibility:
➢ E2E traceability, automated alerts;
➢ Read access by regulators, quality inspectors, custom agents
Process Optimisation:
➢ Less paperwork, less data reconciliation, tamper-proof documents,
➢ Reduction of errors & bottlenecks
Cost efficiency:
➢ Operation excellence, automated payment & escrow
Better forecasting:
➢ Improved liquidities, better asset utilisation

The Plug & Play Wireless IoT Fabric for the Connected Supply Chain
The Supply Chain
Traditional automation and wired instrumentation doesn’t work well in supply-chain monitoring:• Changing schedules.• Mobile equipment.• Modular reconfigurable processes.• Dynamic environments.
We’re here to change that.
[ Imagine a wireless device that installs in moments, is 100% reliable, lasts 10 years on a single battery and provides practical data analytics insights from key assets in every one of your global facilities. ]
Introducing theVersaSense IoT Fabric.
[6] Less than 50% of the price of
leading competitor.
[1] Zero-configuration system commissioning [3] 99.999% wireless
network reliabilityor multi-km range
[2] Over a decade of battery life
[5] Over 40 plug-and-play sensors from VersaSense,
1000s from 3rd parties
[4] End-to-endNIST-certified
security
The Fabric Device
SmartMesh IP Networking
• VersaSense fabric devices automatically form a fully routed mesh network.
• Our nodes find multi-hop paths around obstructions.
• Channel hopping avoids interference even in harsh environment.
• The result? A network that is deployed in a day, providing extreme reliability.
A typical factory mesh network, deployed in a harsh environment> 13 million packets sent and 0 lost
• Plug-&-Play installation of optical object detection sensors (S17) on your:– Case sealers– Printers– Ovens
• Provides high quality rate data for any product.

Teach Your Line Elements to Talk
Instant Telemetry from Wrappers
• One click installation of smart accelerometer sensors (S02).
• Live telemetry from rotating equipment... like pallet wrappers.
• Works with both stand-alone units and in staged lines.
7
What about Manual Scenarios?
• Wireless industrial grade palm buttons provide a simple and universal human interface.
• Bluetooth mesh gateways (S37) provide rich in-situ interaction anywhere in your facility.
The Process is Simple and Takes Under One Day.
