The Executive Councils of both Blockchain New Zealand and the IoT Alliance have identified synergies between the two organisations that could readily be implemented to deliver significant societal and commercial benefits to New Zealand and beyond.
By leveraging Blockchain’s decentralised ledger models in combination with IoT (Internet of Things) technologies, significant efficiency gains and security improvements could be realised by many industries – at speed and at low transaction cost.
Purpose
The purpose of this group is to showcase the opportunities for alignment of IoT and blockchain technologies and to demonstrate how these integrated decentralised models can add value in the New Zealand context.
Deliverables
The Ledger of Things Working Group will deliver a whitepaper series to give a high-level overview of the different use-cases of these two technologies.
The first whitepaper will focus on specific market sectors including;
- Energy
- Water
- Supply Chain and Logistics
It is proposed to prepare a future paper on:
- Food Security (Future)
- Transport (Future)
- Digital Twins and Predictive Maintenance (Future)
