Good Traceability

End-to-End Supply Chain Traceability

Every product, every batch, every shipment — its own immutable chain. Cryptographic proof from farm to fork.

What Is Good Traceability?

A fundamentally different approach to supply chain tracking — every entity IS its own blockchain.

  • Transaction Chains = native per-entity history: each product, batch, or shipment IS its own blockchain — not a row in a database, but a cryptographic chain of events
  • IoT gateway for constrained sensors (BLE, LoRa, Modbus) — temperature, humidity, GPS data flows directly on-chain with bulk provisioning
  • Per-field encryption: supplier data stays private, compliance data stays auditable — granular access control at the data field level using AES-256-GCM
  • On-chain schemas validated at consensus — structured data is guaranteed before execution, no garbage-in scenarios
  • GDPR auto-purge: hash preserved, payload destroyed after retention period — protocol-level compliance, not an afterthought
  • Cross-network gateways: share traceability data between consortiums without exposing internal operations or competitive intelligence
  • Real-time events: WebSocket, MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP integration with existing ERP, WMS, and TMS systems — no polling, instant updates
🌱 Farm Origin, batch, quality cert (encrypted)
🚛 Transport IoT sensors: temp, humidity, GPS (real-time)
🏭 Factory Processing data, compliance check, schema validation
🛒 Retail Consumer verification — scan & verify full history

Each step = a transaction on the product's chain — immutable, auditable, encrypted where needed

Advantages That Change Everything

Not just another blockchain for supply chain — a purpose-built protocol where traceability is a first-class primitive.

📋

Native Audit Trail

No separate audit database needed. Every transaction on a product's chain is the audit trail. Immutable by design, queryable by default.

📡

IoT-Ready

Bulk provisioning of constrained sensors — BLE, LoRa, Modbus. Native gateway handles protocol translation. No middleware needed.

🔏

Privacy by Design

Per-field AES-256-GCM encryption. Share compliance data with regulators while keeping supplier pricing confidential. Granular, not all-or-nothing.

🗑️

GDPR Compliant

Auto-purge built into the protocol — hash preserved for integrity, payload destroyed after retention period. No manual intervention required.

Real-Time

Events push to existing enterprise systems via WebSocket, MQTT, Kafka, and AMQP. No polling, no delays — instant visibility across the chain.

🌐

Cross-Consortium

Share data between organizations through native cross-network gateways — without exposing internals or competitive intelligence.

Already in Production — ULTIM ERP & ULTIM TRUST

ATSHI's traceability is not theoretical. Two production tools already use Transaction Chains as their native backbone — from batch creation to consumer QR scan.

ULTIM ERP writes every batch record, quality check, and shipment directly to ATSHI Transaction Chains — no middleware, no sync lag, no data reconciliation. Each ERP batch automatically creates an on-chain lot chain with full production metadata: plant, production line, quality grade, lab results, temperature logs.

ULTIM TRUST is the dedicated platform for defining GS1 Digital Link pages and configuring NFC NTAG424 authentication. Product information, traceability dashboards, certifications, recall notices, anti-counterfeiting — all designed in ULTIM TRUST and published directly on-chain.

Bovalim feed traceability data is cross-referenced on-chain — lot chains link directly to feed origin chains for complete farm-to-fork provenance. Regulatory data (lab results, certifications, recall status) is pushed in real-time — inspectors can scan any product and see up-to-the-minute status.

Live Deployment — Nemrod Charcuterie
ATSHI

Every batch of artisanal Terrine de Sanglier by Nemrod carries a GS1 QR code linking to its full on-chain history — origin, processing, quality, certifications.

EPCIS 2.0 Events On-Chain — The Global Supply Chain Standard

Every supply chain event captured in the four EPCIS dimensions — What, Where, When, Why — written natively to ATSHI Transaction Chains.

EPCIS 2.0 uses JSON-LD natively, mapping directly to ATSHI's structured data schemas validated at consensus. Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) 2.0 provides standardized business steps (commissioning, shipping, receiving, destroying) and dispositions (in_transit, in_progress, recalled). Events written to product/lot chains trigger real-time notifications via WebSocket, MQTT, Kafka, AMQP.

Per-field AES-256-GCM encryption means an EPCIS event can have public traceability data alongside encrypted business-sensitive fields. Combined with GS1 Digital Link: one QR code, full event history from farm to shelf. Meets regulatory requirements for EU FMD (pharma), EU food safety, and US FSMA 204.

ObjectEvent

Commissioning, observation, inspection — tracking individual items or batches through each step of the supply chain.

AggregationEvent

Packing items into cases, cases onto pallets — parent/child relationships recorded immutably on-chain.

TransformationEvent

Wild boar meat → Terrine de Sanglier — input/output linkage with full ingredient traceability.

TransactionEvent

Purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices — business documents linked to physical goods on-chain.

Each EPCIS event = a transaction on the product's chain — immutable, timestamped, selectively encrypted

Digital Link + EPCIS 2.0 = Complete Traceability

Two GS1 standards, one blockchain. The QR code is the entry point, EPCIS events are the data.
