Blockchain based smart logistics management system
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryOur project aims at improving the supply chain services.We are integrating the Iots with the Blockchain technology because of its transparency feature.With the help of this technology clients would be able to see the exact location of their parcel/order.With data's hashes/addresses being stored on Blockchain server, no data can be manipulated neither can be deleted.Our project aims at the objectives listed below.
•In case of emergency order can be collected from headquarter with the help of real-time location being send on client's mobile..
•If order gets misplaced by the delivery officer then the client can claim his/her order as nothing can be deleted from either sides as everything is stored on the Blockchain server.
•To receive the parcel one has to ensure correct secret code.This secret code would be send to client's mobile number along with the location of his/her parcel.At the time of receiving he/she would have to sign digitally to claim his/her order.
Project Objectives•If order gets misplaced by the delivery officer then the client can claim his/her order as nothing can be deleted from either sides as everything is stored on the Blockchain server.
•To receive the parcel one has to ensure correct secret code.This secret code would be send to client's mobile number along with the location of his/her parcel.At the time of receiving he/she would have to sign digitally to claim his/her order.
•In case of emergency order can be collected from headquarter with the help of real-time location being send on client's mobile..
With Blockchain technology this also resolves the payment issues.As the information would be stored on the Blockchain server so neither side can claim/lie wrong about the payment.
Project Implementation MethodWe have developed a hardware which will be attached with the cars delivering the parcels.This hardware will send the real-time locations to the clients with their security codes which they will need at the time of receiving the parcel.
This data would be stored on Blockchain server and as this data is immutable and transparent to everyone, this resolves the security issues.
We have developed our hardware with the help of arduino mega, esp8266-01s wifi module, GSM module, GPS module.
We are developing 2 such hardwares each of them would be connected to vehicles for testing.
Benefits of the ProjectThe utmost benefit of this project lie in its security.With the Blockchain technology being used the data is immutable and transparent settling the security issues,With Blockchain technology below are the benefits that would be achieved.
•If order gets misplaced by the delivery officer then the client can claim his/her order as nothing can be deleted from either sides as everything is stored on the Blockchain server.
•To receive the parcel one has to ensure correct secret code.This secret code would be send to client's mobile number along with the location of his/her parcel.At the time of receiving he/she would have to sign digitally to claim his/her order.

With Blockchain technology this also resolves the payment issues.As the information would be stored on the Blockchain server so neither side can claim/lie wrong about the payment.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableArduino mega is used as microcontroller in our project.Interfacing of wifi module, GSM module,GPS module are done with the help of arduino ide software.
With the help of GSM module we can send messages to a number. And GPS module provides the real time location.Wifi module is being used as wifi enabler to arduino mega to send the GPS data on the internet.
With the help of Blynk app we have acquired data from the arduino and then from Blynk app it is send to the Node-red.
With the help of Node-red we have send the data to the Blockchain server.
Using Node-red we have send the acquired data from the Blynk app to the IBM Watson platform.
We have used IBM Watson platform to create dashboard for the GPS data.With this platform we have created a map with the help of which we can track our vehicle.
We have used Visual Studio software to design our personal ethereum Blockchain, with this we can impose smart contracts on Ganache.
We have used Ganache as our personal ethereum Blockchain.
