Innovation in ornamental plants: from cultivation to the end client with blockchain technology
Innovación en planta ornamental: del cultivo al cliente final con tecnologia blockchain
Contexte
The project involves the implementation of a decentralised platform to provide maximum traceability for the plants distributed by the CORMA cooperative, from their production, including the raw materials used, until they reach the end customer, and the integration of the platform with the ICT systems currently used by CORMA. This new platform will be based on Blockchain2 technology – a type of decentralised data structure in which information is stored in blocks chained together in a timeline; and blocks are added to the chain after a process of consensus between the validating nodes in the network. These characteristics mean that the information contained in the blockchain can be considered unalterable.
Objectives
The project aims to have an impact on the entire production and commercial chain generated by the cooperative, and the optimisation of processes will enhance CORMA's productivity.
Errors, inaccuracies and malfunctions in all the processes to which the proposed innovation is to be applied lead to losses of both material resources (especially product) and energy, with considerable logistical impact, and an improvement in the management of resources could be significant.
The project seeks to improve the financial results of the Cooperative. It will also guarantee and improve CORMA's share of the ornamental plant sector .
Objectives
El objetivo es mejorar la productividad y la cadena comercial de la cooperativa mediante la optimización de procesos. El malfuncionamiento de estos conduce a perdidas materiales y de energía, cuyo impacto logístico es considerable. Se esperan, por tanto mejoras importantes en la gestión de recursos.
El proyecto pretende mejorar los beneficios de la Cooperativa y garantizar e incrementar la cuota de mercado de CORMA en el sector de la planta ornamental
