Customer and Context

Absolute transparency in the food chain

In the project implemented at the customer factory in Eskişehir producing organic vinegar, the organic vinegar parameters at the bottling stage were collected and associated with individual bottle numbers.

The project was carried out to ensure product-based traceability and transparency extending to the end user.

Needs / Problems

Data security and transparency requirements

The production parameters in the bottling process needed to be recorded on a per-bottle basis, and this data had to be stored in a reliable, unalterable way.

  • 01Data Security and ImmutabilityThe need to store production parameters in a secure and unalterable infrastructure against manipulation.
  • 02End User Trust GapThe difficulty of presenting the production and bottling history of the purchased product to consumers in a provable way.
Solution

Blockchain integration and QR code

Organic vinegar parameters at the bottling stage were collected and associated with individual bottle numbers. To guarantee transparency and immutability, the collected data was transferred to a blockchain network. End users can scan the QR code on the bottle to transparently view the filling parameters of the respective vinegar and access production details. Operating integrated with SAP, the application is also notable for running on cloud servers.

01

Parameter Collection

Organic vinegar parameters at the filling stage are collected in real time.

02

Unique Bottle Pairing

Collected data is associated with the unique number on the bottle.

03

Blockchain Recording

Matched data is transferred to the blockchain network for immutability.

04

QR Code Query

Consumers scan the QR code on the bottle to query all production parameters.

Technology / Equipment Used

Integrations

SAP and Blockchain Integration

The system runs integrated with SAP. Collected production and traceability data is transferred to the blockchain network and stored permanently in an unalterable format, ensuring data transparency and security.

Blockchain RegistryBottle filling data and production parameters are written immutably to the blockchain network.
SAP ConnectionProduction orders and product master data are fed into the system via SAP ERP.
Benefits / Results

Absolute trust with blockchain

Product-Based Traceability

Filling parameters for each organic vinegar bottle are individually recorded, establishing full traceability.

Immutable Data Security

Production data is stored on the blockchain, protected 100% against any manipulation risks.

Consumer Transparency

Brand credibility is enhanced by allowing end users to query filling details using a QR code.
