Project summary:

“The ‘North Star Vision’ that we’re looking at developing into a final solution will be a shared platform where suppliers, contractors, project owners and any other parties involved in large scale infrastructure rail projects, can share critical information, data, works carried out, between each other.

Importantly, and where the real value of the underlying blockchain technology will come into play, it will be done a real-time environment and in a trusted, transparent, and secure way – which is where the differentiation is with your usual ‘dumb’ database technology – a Trusted, Transparent shared ecosystem for different stakeholders involved.

Through this automated and real-time communication, it brings real efficiencies to these processes within the digital ecosystem, but still maintaining and looking at improving the important safety standards as well.”

“Solving Sustainable Fishing with Blockchain-based Digital Passports. Bait to plate made simple!

The seafood industry is one of the world’s largest and oldest market sectors. The industry is made up of complex legacy global supply chains creating numerous social and environmental challenges. Both illegal fishing and unreported fishing are malpractices destroying and depleting marine habitats. Enhancing provenance certainty, traceability and transparency along these supply chains could be a way to resolve these problems.

Blockchain is well positioned to achieve these goals. We wanted to prove the technology coupled with the right business logic could address these issues to unlock efficiencies at industry level.”

Project Summary:

“Amey Consulting and Finboot have joined forces to modernize the process of Possession Planning for the Core Valley Lines Railway. Possession Planning involves coordinating access to the railway for maintenance and repairs, a task that was previously burdened by outdated systems, manual reporting, and reliance on email communication.

The existing process was slow, intricate, and marked by challenges in decision-making and a lack of comprehensive documentation. An efficient planning process requires a clear record of changes and discussions with railway stakeholders.

To tackle these challenges, we’ve introduced a Blockchain-powered platform. This digital solution serves as a centralized hub for stakeholders to exchange Possession data and facilitate decision-making. At the same time, it ensures a secure, unchangeable record of all activities – a digital paper trail that adds a layer of accountability and transparency to the process.

Experience the evolution of Possession Planning as we usher in a new era of efficiency and traceability.”

Project Summary:

“The project aimed to prove that blockchain can help improve multiparty trust at the point of steel goods delivery / receipt in Wales. The overarching goal was to use digital identities to create two-sided trust between the deliverer and the receiver, with digital signatures acting as an ‘electronic handshake’ to determine that the right goods have been delivered to the right place at the right time.

The benefits that ‘blockchain’ can bring in terms of notarisation, immutability and decentralisation were predicted to be critical to any tool setting out to achieve the same goals.

The innovation / R&D element of this project is designing a UI / prototype that would be used only indirectly by Tata Steel, and directly by its customers and distributors.

Project Summary:

“The Green Economy Wales Carbon Marketplace, project aimed to prove how blockchain technology can help transform the way Welsh businesses combat climate change. We started with the goal of envisaging a place where businesses can easily create, sell and buy ‘carbon credits’ – essentially tokens representing a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Our project uses advanced blockchain technology to create these tokens, allowing businesses in Wales to quickly and efficiently monetise their own renewable energy initiatives across several carbon reduction markets and for other businesses to buy them to offset their own emissions. Throughout the platforms development we focused on not simply creating a marketplace rather than a fully functional testing ground to show

how blockchain and tokenisation can revolutionise the carbon credit industry.

Developed in partnership with Business News Wales and its network of clients, our platform wasn’t just created in isolation. We collaborated directly with businesses and experts to ensure a streamlined process that Is as user-friendly as possible.”

Project Summary:

“We harnessed the power of smart contracting to demonstrate how it is possible revolutionise the way NT-proBNP diagnostic tests may be procured by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) of NHS Wales. Instead of the traditional procurement methods, we aimed to introduce a value-based approach that ensures efficiency and transparency and enables purchasing of health technologies based on derived benefits to the health system.

Our journey began with a comprehensive data analysis of existing health data sets to understand the existing realities. This was followed

by a hands-on workshop where we defined vital contracting outcomes and key performance indicators.

The project resulted in the creation of a contract simulator for contract model testing. We also developed an intuitive user interface specifically for diagnostic technologies. A smart contract was deployed to showcase the capabilities of the technology in regards to accurate processing of data and subsequent results.”

Project Summary:

“To financially motivate the investment in technology solutions that reduce the carbon impact of global air travel, carbon credits and carbon offsets can be traded based on the emissions saved by new aftermarket aerospace products.

The new “FlyGreen” system from Zenotech provides a web-based portal allowing users to track carbon emissions and offsets and provides a digital platform based on blockchain for generating a market. The system records materials, manufactured aircraft parts, carbon impact and offset impact on an immutable distributed ledger. It tracks the flights that the part is flown on to model the offsets generated by having that component fitted on a given airframe.

This provides verification of the claimed carbon offsets that airline operators make by installing a drag reduction package on an airframe.

The challenges of usability and longevity have been successfully tackled in this project, allowing us to take the next step towards international commercialisation.”

Project Summary:

“Rhug Estate has partnered with blockchain specialist ubloquity on a supply chain project to enable the frictionless movement of quality lamb products to export markets.

The new system replaces manual ‘in person’ veterinary checks with remote digital checks – revolutionising supply chain assurance, making the export process simpler, cheaper, and more efficient.

Together, ubloquity and Rhug reimagined a streamlined system, then alongside Vetaverse and AWS created a user-friendly interface for a vet to log into and conduct the necessary regulatory checks, or assign a CSO (certification support officer) under their remote supervision. The digitised process includes the introduction of video calling, digitised forms, with simple tick boxes to complete the necessary on-farm attestations, and GPS-enabled functionality to record precise location.

All the data collected is then hashed and stored on the ubloquity blockchain to create a trusted chain of custody for officials to access in a secure and permissioned way.”
