The largest issue facing the retail industry today is product counterfeiting. Products that are counterfeit are just poor copies of authentic brands. Various techniques have been implemented to fight product counterfeiting, including RFID tags, machine learning, artificial intelligence, QR code-base systems, and many more. However, these techniques have drawbacks as well. For example, a QR code can be used to distinguish a real product from a fake one, artificial intelligence and machine learning require a lot of processing power to perform tasks, and numerous other techniques have been adopted but no workable solution has yet been created. With the aid of blockchain technology, we have attempted to enhance the detection of counterfeit goods in this project.Our approach involves using a QR code to store the product supply chain at each stage of the product's transaction with a new party. One of the key benefits of blockchain is that once data is recorded in the system, it cannot be changed by anybody, making our data more secure and protected from outside parties. This makes blockchain useful for storing product supply chains since it creates a decentralized system.
