“…Lanko et al [35] presented a combination of RFID and Blockchain to address the trust issue between parties, in addition to product safety during transportation. Currently, concrete quality is determined after concrete pouring with tests; The authors propose an alternative solution using Blockchain and RFID, that responds to the mistrust issue when dealing with concrete producers by using RFID tags in each step inside the factory and broadcasting this data as timestamped transactions to a Blockchain database.…”

Emerging technologies are always treated with caution, and Blockchain is no exception to this rule. The AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) sector is considered conservative when it comes to technology adoption, which is often positive in an industry that deals with a vital commodity that could harm humans or result in catastrophe. However, excessive caution also stifles innovation, as shown in the industry’s low R&D expenditure when compared to other industrial activities. In recent years, the AECO sector has benefited from the adoption of new information management tools and systems that allow professionals to develop, share and store construction data more effectively. These tools have successfully tackled many of the traditional interoperability issues that have affected the industry, but several challenges remain unsolved. Indeed, effective real-world communication depends, not only on the compatibility between data formats and systems, but also on issues such as privacy, transparency, and trust. Blockchain has been adopted in different activities as a tool to address these issues, but its impact in the construction industry remains scarce. This paper presents a bibliometric study for the available literature on Blockchain implementation in the AECO sector. In addition to the bibliometric review, content analysis for the literature retrieved is presented to provide a clear vision of the current directions regarding Blockchain technology adoption. The purpose of this article is to evaluate the maturity of Blockchain in Construction literature using statistics based on the available bibliometrics in addition to content analysis. The main results show that although the number of articles about the use of Blockchain in Construction has increased, no studies that present ready to use solutions were found. Instead, the covered studies discuss the technical capabilities of the technology and suggest possible fields of implementation, such as smart contracts and automated payments. Study limitations include the limited amount of literature that can be found on major indexing services, which cover a relatively short reference period.

“…In all the above, and especially regarding construction logistics and supply chain management (Wang et al, 2017;Dobrovnik et al 2018;Lanko et al, 2018;Rubio et al 2018), there has not been an investigation on the capabilities of blockchain for the integration of the respective material and the economic flows. Considerations on pursuing this integration have been already been noted in the relative research (Love et al 2004;Koçtaş & Tek 2013;Li et al, 2017).…”

Blockchain in construction logistics: state-of-art, constructability, and the advent of a new digital business model in Sweden

Research on blockchain technology implementation within civil engineering is quickly emerging. The use of blockchain for the integration of the material and economic flows within construction supply chain-thus creating a new digital business model for the related actors-to enhance a construction project's production, logistics management, and constructability, has been only scarcely investigated. In this paper, this shortage is documented through a comprehensive literature review. Then, the potential of Swedish independent third-party logistics consultants as a fertile ground for such a digital business model, is examined. Finally, conclusions about the pursuance of this potential paradigm shift are drawn.

“…This situation causes the information flux on meat supply-chain traceability to be discontinuous and very costly, excluding a priori a great part of the possible stakeholders. To enhance the reliability of supply-chain traceability and its robustness against possible external inferences, the information about meat origin and processing could be guaranteed by blockchain technologies [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. The disintermediation offered by blockchain technologies could solve part of the problems tied to the efforts of guaranteeing a trustworthy, efficient traceability system without the involvement of subjects who are external to the supply chain and who act as a trusted third party.…”

Digitalised supply-chain traceability systems can offer wide prospects both for improving safety as well as enhancing perceived quality. However, the coupling between physical goods and information is often difficult for agri-food items. A solution could be the use of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) systems. Due to its wide reading range, Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) technology is already widely used in logistics and warehousing, mostly for the identification of batches of items. A growing interest is also emerging in Near Field Communication (NFC), as several smartphones embed an integrated NFC antenna. This paper deals with the automatic identification of meat products at item level, proposing and evaluating the adoption of different RFID technologies. Different UHF and NFC solutions are proposed, which benchmark tag performances in different configurations, including four meat types (fatty beef, lean beef, chicken and pork), by using a specifically designed test bench. As avoiding the application of two different tags could be advantageous, dual frequency devices (UHF and NFC) are also considered. Significant differences in tag performances, which also depend on meat type and packaging, are highlighted. The paper highlights that tag positioning should consider the geometry of the packaging and the relative positioning of tag, meat and reader antenna.
