July 27, 2018 -- ADVFN Crypto NewsWire -- Yesterday the U.S. Patent office published a proposal from Accenture that uses blockchain technology to facilitate improved delivery services using automated technology.

Delivery Services

The patent includes integration of driverless or autonomous vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) analysis, transfer and delivery of “a product, a commodity, medicine, food, an organism, or cosmetics.” Blockchain is used for encrypting and storing the data inputs from the automated analysis through the supply chain. The patent specifies spectral (UAV light), chemical and molecular analysis as potential checks.

Detecting Warning Signs

The patent takes this further by demonstrating chain of event possibilities where the results of automated analysis trigger a second action. This might be to verify that the product is indeed the right one, where the third action would be to generating a work order to have the item processed for acceptance, schedule a meeting, or send a message for human investigation.

Accenture and Blockchain Tech

From its headquarters in Dublin, Ireland Accenture has grown to be one of the most prestigious global management and professional consulting firms. In 2017 the company was ranked near the top of Business Insider’s 9 Best Management Consulting list. At that time the company showed a $2.6 billion revenue total, but in 2017 reported net revenues of $34.9 billion. The firm no has more than 425,000 employees, with clients in more than 200 cities in 120 countries.

The company has six operational components, and each one benefits strongly from blockchain technology, which provides security from the immutability and security of cryptographically secure blockchain data, more efficient data storage and transactions, as well as perfectly integrating to other technologies (autonomous vehicles, AI, machine learning, Internet of Things) that are revolutionizing the supply chain industry:

• Strategy - business, technology and operational services

• Consulting - technology, business and management consulting

• Digital - marketing, analytics and mobility

• Federal - government contracts

• Technology - implementation, delivery, and research & development of emerging technologies

• Operations - "as-a-service" model, process outsourcing, IT services, cloud services, security and infrastructure services.

Accenture has also made partnerships this year to facilitate their identity solutions software that is grounded in the cryptography and immutability of blockchain technology.
