Blockchain is a rapidly emerging technology that many people associate with headline grabbing, bitcoin. This virtual currency system is already transforming the financial services industry by eschewing a central authority to issue currency, transfer ownership, and confirm transactions. But bitcoin is only first application of blockchain technology. Blockchain has the potential to be just as transformative for the manufacturing industry, and, far from something ‘coming down the line’, its distributed ledger technology already offers companies a genuine way in which to drive connectedness and streamline operations like never before. This session will give a brief overview of the history and technical aspects of blockchain, and how leaders in the manufacturing industry are proposing using it to streamline inefficiencies and stay ahead of their competition.
