THE POTENTIAL OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR LOGISTICS

V diplomskem delu je predstavljena tehnologija veriženja podatkovnih blokov. Opisani so njena zgodovina, arhitektura in delovanje. Predstavljeni so tudi pomembnejši koncepti tehnologije in zadržki, ki omejujejo njeno množično uporabo. Na podlagi tokov v izvajanju logističnih procesov so predstavljene prednosti uporabe, med njimi tudi prepoznavanje ponarejenih izdelkov. Opisan je tudi postopek uvajanja tehnologije veriženja podatkovnih blokov in souporaba s tehnologijo interneta stvari. V zadnjem delu pa so prikazani primeri dobrih praks doma in po svetu.The thesis presents the blockchain technology. Its history, architecture and operation are described. It also introduces the major concepts of the technology and the constraints that limit its mass deployment. The benefits of use are presented, based on the flows in the logistics process, and the identification of counterfeit products is also illustrated. It also describes the process of deploying blockchain technology and sharing it with IoT technology. The final section presents examples of good practice at home and around the world
