Blockchain-Based Trusted Synchronization Operation Framework for Open Production Logistics System

The contemporary manufacturing landscape grapples with the escalating dynamic and individualized demands. To swiftly meet personalized production orders, manufacturers are tapping into open production logistics (PL) resources from socialized resource platforms. However, in such a volatile and socialized production environment, manufacturers are in dire need of reliable open resource management and decision-making tools for production logistics to sustain their market edge. This becomes even more pronounced for SMEs. This paper, focusing on the intricacies of dynamic production logistics, explores the challenge of “ production logistics trusted synchronization (PLTS)” in an open-resource context. We propose an innovative service infrastructure that synergizes blockchain and digital twin for PLTS. This system effectively combines the advantages of blockchain-driven cloud manufacturing resource management with digital twin control systems, presenting a holistic solution encompassing flexible trustworthy resource organization and open production logistics synchronization support. Additionally, we shed light on associated enabling technologies, offering a roadmap for ensuing technical explorations.
