Scylla Summit 2022: Scalable and Sustainable Supply Chains with DLT and ScyllaDB
0 likes560 views
The document discusses the challenges and solutions in digitizing supply chains using distributed ledger technology (DLT) and ScyllaDB. It highlights the need for interoperability, data scalability, and trusted data sharing to enhance transparency and efficiency in cross-border trade, particularly in East Africa. The collaboration between the Trademark East Africa and IOTA aims to create a system that could significantly boost the region's GDP by improving trade processes.
Scylla Summit 2022: Scalable and Sustainable Supply Chains with DLT and ScyllaDB
- 1. Scalable and Sustainable Supply Chains with DLT and ScyllaDB José Manuel Cantera Fonseca Tech Analyst & Project Lead
- 2. José Manuel Cantera ■ Based in Spain. Leading different initiatives dealing with the digitisation of Global Trade and Supply Chains leveraging the IOTA Distributed Ledger ■ More than 20 years of experience in the ICT industry, focused on innovation through open source communities (Mozilla, FIWARE, IOTA) and open standards (W3C, ETSI, GS1) ■ Enjoys coding and hands-on work! Tech Analyst & Project Lead
- 3. The Problem
- 4. Supply Chain digitisation A great challenge ahead ■ Multiple actors (and systems) generating data (identity is cornerstone) • suppliers, OEMs, food processors, brands, recycling agents, consumers, ports, carriers, ground transporters, inspectors / authorities, freight forwarders, customs, dealers, repairers, … ■ Multiple relationships (cross-border, no central anchor) • B2B (at multiple tiers), B2C, B2G, G2G ■ Different functional needs (verifiable data is core). Cross-domain. Cross-sector • Traceability as an enabler for: Compliance, Product Authenticity, Transparency, Provenance • effective recalls, ethical sourcing, food safety …

- 7. TLIP Initiative Overview: Enabling new means of transparency Today’s East Africa trade is still based on paper documents and outdated processes often involving many actors (public and private). IOTA supports digitisation of this supply chain where original documents and events are reported in real time and made available to authorized actors. It provides transparency to the process and allows everyone to piggy-back on the original data. The solution: Trade and logistics information pipeline TradeMark East Africa and IOTA are developing a system that will connect border agencies with overseas customs and local traders for a smarter and more efficient experience. Early indications suggest that such a system can add more than 5% to the region’s GDP with economic opportunities and job creation as results.

- 10. Reference Architecture & Standards
- 11. Technical Challenges ■ Data interoperability • Common syntax, reference vocabularies, semantic interoperability, extensibility ■ Scalable (open source) datastores • Data has to be always available and kept for a long period of time at fine granularity level ■ Scalable, permissionless, feeless DLT • data/doc verifiability, auditability and immutability within P2P interactions ■ (Increasingly) Decentralized Architectures • i.e. no privileged actors
- 12. GS1 EPCIS 2.0 JSON-LD (EPCIS 2.0 also defines a REST API)
- 13. Reference Architecture (Functional View) ERP: Enterprise Resource Planning FMIS: Farm Management Information System OT: Operational Technology AIDC: Automatic Identification and Data Capture MES: Manufacturing Execution System
- 14. Why ScyllaDB? Automotive Supply Chain (OEM) ■ 10M cars manufactured per year (10% market share) ■ Each car has 3K trackable parts (10% of parts) ■ Each part has a lifetime of 10 years ■ Each part can generate 10 business events ■ → 300 Billion active business events Maritime transportation operator ■ 50M containers per year (20% market share) ■ 10 events per container ■ 5 years of operation ■ → 2500M active events ■ Components where ScyllaDB can play a key role: • Events Repository • (EPCIS 2.0, DCSA, …) • Item-Level Tracking • Inventory • Catalogue • Any DLT Layer 2 data storage ■ Components that have already adopted ScyllaDB • IOTA DLT Archiving Node (Permanode)
- 15. Conclusions
- 16. Conclusions Supply chains digitisation poses technical challenges which require a modular, thoughtful and holistic approach rather than “biz as usual” bespoke solutions: ■ Interoperability → Open standards (EPCIS, W3C DID, …). Ref. Architecture. Semantic IoP (JSON-LD). Building Blocks ■ Increasing decentralization → DLT (IOTA, IPFS, …), DApps ■ Data scalability and availability → ScyllaDB ■ Trusted Data Sharing → Decentralized IDs, DLT, P2P, …
