Blockchain Based Way Billing System for Tracking and Monitoring in Manufacturing Firms

Abstract

The manufacturing sector has experienced significant growth, positioning the state as an economic powerhouse. However, effective waybilling and logistics management remain critical for the efficient operations of manufacturing firms. Traditional waybilling systems face challenges such as data manipulation, lack of transparency, and vulnerability to human errors. This paper examines the application of blockchain technology as a disruptive solution for waybilling systems, enabling decentralization, immutability, and the integration of smart contracts. The decentralized nature of blockchain eliminates the need for a central authority, enhancing transparency and reducing the risk of single points of failure. The immutability of blockchain records ensures the integrity of waybilling data, preventing tampering and fostering trust among stakeholders. Smart contracts automate processes such as verification, payment, and enforcement of contractual agreements, streamlining operations and minimizing human intervention. The paper concludes by providing recommendations for collaborative efforts, pilot projects, infrastructure investment, regulatory collaboration, and continuous improvement to facilitate the successful adoption of blockchain-based waybilling systems in manufacturing firms.
