Blockchain: All about Bluesky's AT protocol

For several years, the European Union, Japan and other countries around the world have adopted strict standards for the transport of medicines. These have been dubbed Good Distribution Practices (GDP). In 2015, Mitsubishi Logistics offered a refrigerated delivery service in accordance with these different practices. This year, the company used blockchain to offer a new platform. This also concerns the transport of pharmaceutical products.

A system to track drug shipments

A media recently announcement that Mitsubishi Logistics has developed a tracking system based on blockchain technology. The solution allows customers, who have outsourced their pharmaceutical shipments, to track drug deliveries. It provides a number of information to customers on the transport of their orders. It makes it possible to ensure in real time that the transport of pharmaceutical products is carried out under the appropriate conditions.

Mitsubishi Logistics’ new system is called ML Chain. It aims to ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products and eliminate the risk of counterfeiting.

Indeed, this technology makes it possible to effectively secure data and share it with whom it may concern via the cloud. It guarantees the sharing of reliable and accurate data, reducing the risk of fraud.
