Abstract

Informatization and digital transformation across industries are big trends in the world. However, although a few food groups are investing in informatization on a pilot basis, informatization is still delayed in related industries, such as distribution, logistics, etc. Therefore, consumers often are not able to have easy access to detailed information about products. In this paper, to improve these problems, we propose a fresh food logistics solution that adopts Proof of Nonce (PoN) consensus algorithm with Internet of Thing (IoT) technology. The recently developed PoN algorithm dramatically reduces a time for generating a block and is suitable for a platform that collects and services real-time information. We expect to improve their trust in the platform by preventing forgery/falsification of information recorded in real time through this paper.
