关于客户
本案例研究中的客户是非洲国家卢旺达，它是世界上最大的钽供应国。钽是一种稀有矿物，用于制造智能手机和笔记本电脑等设备中的电容器。非洲一小片地区生产了全球 60% 的钽，卢旺达是主要出口国。然而，钽有时会从冲突频发的刚果走私进来，在那里，钽是由军阀奴役的儿童或工人开采的。这导致经合组织、美国和欧盟将钽称为“冲突矿物”，并通过法规来提高其可追溯性。尽管有这些规定，但没有人有万无一失的方法来证明钽的实际来源。
挑战
钽是一种稀有矿物，用于智能手机和笔记本电脑等设备。卢旺达是世界上最大的钽供应国。该国面临的挑战是证明每一袋钽矿石都是在经合组织批准的条件下开采、运输和加工的，没有使用童工或奴隶。现有的追踪方法包括标记材料和填写纸质表格，这些方法符合经合组织的规定，但无法提供实际的可追溯性。这还产生了大量昂贵的纸张，其中很容易出现错误或欺诈。挑战在于建立一个系统，确保钽是在批准的条件下开采、运输和加工的，并且监管链不间断。
解决方案
总部位于英国的 Circulor 创建了一个系统，确保钽的开采、运输和加工在批准的条件下进行，并拥有完整的监管链。该系统由基于 Hyperledger Fabric 构建的许可区块链提供支持，使用面部识别和二维码实现了这一世界首创：从矿山到制造商的这一重要资源的可追溯性。在绘制了从矿山到制造商的钽供应链的每一步之后，Circulor 引入了新的在线程序，可在全球供应链的每一步生成可靠的数据。系统数据库通过 Oracle Cloud 和 Amazon Web Services 的组合托管在云中。

Case Study
Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.
Case Study
Underground Mining Safety
The goal was to produce a safety system to monitor and support underground mining operations; existing systems were either too simple (i.e. phone line) or overly complex and expensive, inhibiting deployment, and providing little-to-no support in event of an accident. Given the dangerous nature of the mining work environment and the strict regulations placed on the industry, the solution would have to comply with Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) regulations. Yet the product needed to allow for simple deployment to truly be a groundbreaking solution - increasing miner safety and changing daily operations for the better.
