October 18, 2018 -- ADVFN Crypto NewsWire -- Supply chain management systems continually surface as an obvious choice for blockchain technology integration. These networks are a system of ledgers that can combine the physical movement of products, any monetary transactions involved, and even store other data important to the quality or integrity of the product as it moves from source to customer.

Most applications of the technology take advantage of the cryptographic nature involved in cryptocurrencies that allow products to be digitally labeled in a way that makes them unable to be copied. This will be a major deterrent to the counterfeit goods industry. Others use some physical technology such as RFID tags, and ultimately are working towards the concept of total connectedness via the internet - IoT (internet of things), where computing devices embedded in everyday objects enables them to send and receive data. This is especially useful to agricultural products where a shelf life is involved.

In Canada, the cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing. Movement of these products will be able to benefit form most available through blockchain technology. DMG Blockchain solutions specializes in a wide range of related services, but has most recently announced a platform to bring together the Canadian Cannabis industry and blockchain technology. They hope to build a global supply chain management platform after deployment in Canada.
