Blockchain Based Fake Product Detection System: Enhancing Supply Chain Transparency
Shweta Pandey, Awadhesh Kumar Singh · 2024
Supply chain management faces numerous challenges, such as service redundancy problems with interdepartmental coordination, and a lack of standardization that is made worse by a lack of transparency. Since traditional methods of detection, such as RFID tags, artificial intelligence, and QR code systems, have limitations, product counterfeiting is a serious threat to legitimate businesses. By tracking the products' supply chain history, the decentralized architecture, data transparency, and immutability of blockchain technology are used by the system in order to guarantee the identification and traceability of authentic products. This paper presents an innovative solution combining blockchain technology, QR codes, and machine learning to detect fake products effectively. The innate security characteristics of blockchain technology provide strong defense against data manipulation and vulnerabilities, protecting the interests of consumers and legitimate businesses.
