What is Blockchain?
Blockchain is a shared ledger technology allowing any
participant in the business network to see
THE system of record (ledger)

Blockchain and Watson IoT
• Blockchain leverages distributed replication
• Eliminates the overhead of central control and
management
• Only business partners involved in the
transaction can access and supply IoT data
• Partnering with key clients in aerospace,
automotive, supply chain, and manufacturing
industries
The Watson IoT Platform has built-in capability that lets you add IoT data to a private
blockchain ledger via API. This provides for shared transactions with tamper-resistant
records, transparency and trust.
How it works
• IBM Blockchain provides the private blockchain infrastructure of distributed peers that
replicates the device data and validates the transaction through secure contracts.
• Watson IoT Platform translates existing device data, from one or more device types,
into the format needed by the blockchain contract APIs. The blockchain contract
doesn’t need to know the specifics of your device data.
• Watson IoT Platform filters device events and sends only the required data to the
contract.
• Storing IoT data as part of a indelible ledger on a private blockchain can help build
trust across business networks.

companies, customs, bank
Part Lifecycle
Tracking &
Maintenance
• Track part provenance from
manufacture to end of life.
• Part identification
• Usage information
• Maintenance information
• Part manufacturer, final
assembly manufacturer,
repair organization, owner,
regulatory agency
Supply Chain
• Broadcast supply and
demand on a shared
blockchain.
• Track part location and
manufacturing information on
a shared blockchain.
• Demand request
• Supply volumes
• Part provenance (ID, expiration
date, etc.)
• Supplier, manufacturer
Regulatory
Compliance
• Share documents with a
regulatory agency and or the
public on a blockchain.
• Compliance documentation
• Usage and maintenance
information.
• Regulatory agency,
appropriate industry
manufacturers and operators
Building
Management
• Permanent record of building
access and usage
• Log of building systems (A/C,
lighting, alarms)
• Human access
• Building owner, building
tenant, building management,
etc.
Energy• Track and trade carbon
credits on a blockchain.
• Carbon credits and carbon
production.
• Members of the carbon credit
exchange, public.
