| dc.description.abstract | The flower industry is a rapidly developing and globalized industry. Flowers are very perishable products, and their life cycle is quite limited. Therefore, in the process of delivering flowers, cold chain management is critical to the quality of flowers and also affects the market value of flowers. At present, there are still problems with temperature control and timeliness of flowers. In the context of globalization, the flower supply chain needs better cold chain management to reduce the risk of losing the value of flowers. On the other hand, the flower supply chain under globalization involves the international supply chain. In the process of trade, there are many participants, including exporters, importers, logistics operators, banks, government agencies, etc. Due to the different information systems used between roles, the large number of documents and messages needed to be delivered in the transaction process, and the long transaction duration, disputes of interest and document loss may occur in the international supply chain. The birth of blockchain technology brings the possibility of improvement to the problems mentioned above.
In this research, the blockchain framework Fabric and the tool Composer under the Hyperledger platform, a foundation for blockchain research initiated by Linux, are used to construct a blockchain that conforms to the export process of the flower supply chain in Taiwan. The blockchain which has Irreversible, and non-tamperable features and the feature of decentralization. The features allow it to increase the transparency of information in the supply chain, and prevent the forgery of data and simplify the export process. Finally, this research uses simulation to compare the time difference between the existing process and the adoption of the blockchain. | en_US |
