Blockchain technology allows partners in the Supply Chain to share data in a trusted and immutable way. The presentation features how you can use blockchain to optimize your E2E Supply Chain, using concrete illustrations. Two operational blockchain projects are described, from the development to the key decision process, resulting in an eco-system oriented solution with benefits for all participants. In short: get ready to start building a Supply Chain 4.0 ecosystem using Blockchain! Presented by Walter Stiers, Industry Architect IBM on Supply Chain 4.0 : ready to operate in the digital era? (29 Nov, 2018)

4. IBM Blockchain Strategy
Drive the development of applications for specific business use-cases,
to be deployed to active blockchain networks
Solutions

Ecosystem
Platform
Collaborate
with services
teams from
ideation all the
way to
production
Tap into our diverse ecosystem to develop strategic
partnerships and create your competitive advantage
Solve critical industry challenges by building and
joining new business networks and applications
Develop, govern and operate enterprise
blockchain networks with speed and security
A founding, premier member of Hyperledger, IBM is
committed to open source, standards & governance

5. What lessons have we learned during this journey?
Ensure that there is
shared business value
across all participants
in the ecosystem
Blockchain is fundamentally different from other technology enablers because it
requires a network or ecosystem to provide value
To drive true transformation it is critical to address:
Ensure the right rules for:
i. membership in the network
ii. data ownership, access and usage rights
iii. lifecycle management of business logic and
smart contracts on the network
iv. clients/3rd parties to deliver value added
services to the ecosystem

Ensure that the
solution provides the
right trust guarantees
to all participants

6. ⦿ TradeLens is built for the industry and offers benefits to
trade participants from across the supply chain
ecosystem
⦿ Responding to industry feedback, IBM and Maersk
have revised the approach and are proceeding under a
Collaboration Agreement, which offers greater flexibility
and responsiveness to industry feedback
⦿ An Industry Advisory Board will help to shape the
platform and drive standards
⦿ Maersk Line and Hamburg-Sud are participants under
the same terms as other network members
⦿ Core platform components are available today under
an Early Adopter program; full release remains on
target for Q4 2018
IBM AND MAERSK HAVE LAUNCHED TRADELENS
An open and neutral supply chain platform
poised to transform the industry

7. Connects the ecosystem
Brings together all parties in the supply chain - including traders, freight
forwarders, inland transportation, ports and terminals, ocean carriers,
customs and other government authorities, and others - onto a Blockchain-
based platform with a secure permission and identity framework
Drives true information sharing
Provides for the seamless, secure sharing of real-time, actionable supply
chain information across all parties to a trade - encompassing shipping
milestones, cargo details, trade documents, the structured data embedded in
trade documents, customs filings, sensor readings, and more
Fosters collaboration and trust
Enables the digitization and automation of the cross-organization business
processes integral to global trade, including import and export clearance, with
Blockchain ensuring secure, auditable, and non-repudiable transactions
Spurs innovation
Lays the foundation for ongoing improvement and innovation through an
open, non-proprietary API, the use of standards and promotion of
interoperability, and the launch of an Applications Marketplace that parties
can use to build and deploy TradeLens-powered applications for themselves,
their partners, and their customers

CPGs, QSRs and others
2017 2018
Additional partners joined the IBM
Food Trust™ network, with growing

10. IBM Food Trust: Overview
1 out of 10
people get sick each year, and 420,000
die from foodborne illness
Only 1 in 4
consumers trust today’s food system.
94% say they’d be more loyal to
brands that offers transparency
80%
of CPGs say their business is partially
or entirely paper-based, resulting in
inefficiencies and unnecessary costs
1 / 3
of global fresh fruits and vegetables are
thrown away because their quality has
dropped to unacceptable

11. At its core, IFT relies on the GS1 data standard, in particular:
ü EPCICS events
ü GS1 XML
ü GTIN/LGTIN/SGTI master data
ü GL locations
An essential part of the discovery and onboarding
phases is to transform and map data from existing
systems to be compatible with these data standards.

IBM Blockchain • Walmart will require all fresh, leafy greens
suppliers to implement digital, end-to-end
traceability of their products using blockchain
by September of next year.
• IBM, which began testing its blockchain
services with Walmart, Kroger and other food
companies last year, will provide the software
and support for suppliers.

• All participants see positive
value but the drivers of
value may be different
• Three general-availability
modules and two alphas:
Trace
Certificate Management
Data Entry & Access
Freshness
Consumer
• Participants choose
modules that will bring
value to itself and its
transaction partners
• SaaS solution with a
variety of initial modules
• Foundation laid for
additional capabilities from
both IBM and 3rd party
vendors
• IBM Food Trust is built on
the open source IBM
Blockchain Platform which
provides:
Enterprise-class
Security
Reliability
Scalability
• Delivered using IBM Cloud
for enterprise-class
performance
• Business and technology
standards were leveraged
to ensure reusability and
access to all participants
e.g., GS1
e.g., Hyperledger Fabric
• Interoperability on both the
business and technology
levels ensures information
exchange across the entire
food ecosystem
