“…Security: Although blockchain is considered a secure technology for processing and storing data as immutability and cryptographic verification, there may be attempts to test its vulnerabilities. Pennekamp et al [63] discussed various scenarios from a security perspective. Organisations must implement appropriate measures to protect confidential information and comply with data protection regulations.…”

The current trend in supply chain development requires the application of new knowledge to meet the challenges posed by new technologies. One such technology is blockchain, which facilitates supply chain solutions through the use of innovative data transfer, storage and verification systems. However, the use of blockchain can be challenging for certain stakeholders, such as small carriers, who may lack the necessary technical expertise or access to the technology. In this paper, we explore the potential for engaging small carriers that provide services within the blockchain supply chain but face technological barriers. We identify the barriers and opportunities for these carriers to participate, focusing on a case study of a small carrier that transports temperature-sensitive cargo. In addition, we introduce in-vehicle temperature measurement for use in cold chains and propose an ecosystem that can benefit different stakeholder groups.

“…Security: Although blockchain is considered a secure technology for processing and storing data, there may be attempts to test its vulnerabilities. Pennekamp et al [62] discussed various scenarios from a security perspective. While blockchain offers inherent security features such as immutability and cryptographic verification, ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data on the blockchain remains a concern.…”

We identify the technological barriers and opportunities for these carriers to participate, focusing on a case study of a small carrier that transports temperature-sensitive cargo. As one of the innovations, we proposed a classification according to three types of control levels, which are of fundamental importance in blockchain applications. In addition, we tested in-vehicle temperature measurement for use in cold chains and stored the transaction in a distributive ledger application in blockchain.
