Mondragon Corporación Manufacturing Project

This project analyses the challenges along the industrial value chain of companies that belong to the Mondragon Corporation industrial group. In particular, this project focuses on how advanced manufacturing services are being incorporated as an integral part of traditional manufacturing operations. It is becoming increasingly common for manufacturing companies that produce industrial goods to complement this traditional business with services such as advanced maintenance or logistics. The introduction of IoT industrial platforms pave the way to the availability of real-time information from the manufacturing operations that enable the provision of services. In this context, Blockchain enables the protection and immutability of specific data related to warrant.

This project focuses into the industrial setting and how blockchain technology is used in manufacturing to exploit novel services and business models. The main objective is the research and development of a scalable Blockchain infrastructure for advanced manufacturing environments, which enables reliable services based on smart contracts (private and auditable by third parties) for monitoring, traceability and reporting of the machine operating conditions, production quality parameters and maintenance operations of the production lines.
