German Research Institute To Use Blockchain For Radio-Frequency ID Sensor Systems

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS), based in Dresden, Germany, intends to use Blockchain concepts for the development of wireless radio-frequency identification (RFID) sensor systems in the logistics sector, according to a Feb. 22 press release.

The use of Blockchain solutions for the decentralized storage of data generated by RFID sensors could be made possible in this context through unique approaches to each client. Fraunhofer IPMS develops individual hardware and software solutions for its customers and analyzes their individual requirements using simulations.
