Development of a Block Chain Technology Model to improve Productivity in the Brewery Industry

Abstract

The brewery industry faces persistent challenges of inefficiency, poor traceability, regulatory non-compliance, and risks of counterfeiting within complex supply chains. This paper develops and simulates a blockchain-based model to improve productivity across brewery operations. The proposed framework integrates digital twins with blockchain-enabled transaction validation and ledger synchronization across key supply chain stages, including brewing, quality control, packaging, shipping, storage, and distribution. A simulation involving five nodes and ten transactions demonstrated that nine of the ten transactions were successfully validated, with consistent ledger updates across all nodes. These results highlight blockchain’s capacity to enhance transparency, ensure authenticity, and improve operational coordination. The findings further indicate that blockchain adoption can strengthen inventory management, reduce lead times, improve quality assurance, and foster stronger consumer trust by guaranteeing product authenticity. By providing a secure and immutable record of supply chain activities, the proposed model offers breweries a pathway to greater efficiency, accountability, and competitiveness. This research contributes to ongoing discourse on digital transformation in manufacturing, underscoring blockchain’s role as a catalyst for innovation in the food and beverage sector.
