Abstract

This paper presents the integration of Digital twin and Blockchain-based Supply Chain Management (DB-SCM) in a smart warehouse to create a more efficient, secure, and transparent facility. The process involves creating a digital twin of the warehouse using sensors and IoT devices and then integrating it with a blockchain-based supply chain management system to connect all stakeholders. All data are collected and tracked in real-time as goods move through the warehouse, and smart contracts are automatically executed to ensure accountability for all parties involved. The study also highlights the critical role of effective supply chain management in modern business operations and the significance of smart warehouses, which leverage advanced technologies such as robotics, AI, and data analytics to optimize warehouse operations. Later, we discuss the importance of digital twins, which allow for creating a virtual representation of a physical object or system, and their potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries. Therefore, DB-SCM offers numerous benefits, including enhanced efficiency, improved customer satisfaction, and increased sustainability, and provides a valuable case study for organizations seeking to optimize their supply chain operations.
