July 27, 2018 -- ADVFN Crypto NewsWire -- Yesterday the U.S.
Patent office published a proposal from Accenture that uses
blockchain technology to facilitate improved delivery services
using automated technology.
Delivery
Services
The patent includes integration
of driverless or autonomous vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) analysis, transfer and delivery of “a product, a commodity,
medicine, food, an organism, or cosmetics.” Blockchain is used for
encrypting and storing the data inputs from the automated analysis
through the supply chain. The patent specifies spectral (UAV
light), chemical and molecular analysis as potential
checks.
Detecting Warning
Signs
The patent takes this further by
demonstrating chain of event possibilities where the results of
automated analysis trigger a second action. This might be to verify
that the product is indeed the right one, where the third action
would be to generating a work order to have the item processed for
acceptance, schedule a meeting, or send a message for human
investigation.
Accenture and Blockchain
Tech
From its headquarters in Dublin,
Ireland Accenture has grown to be one of the most prestigious
global management and professional consulting firms. In 2017 the

total, but in 2017 reported net revenues of $34.9 billion. The firm
no has more than 425,000 employees, with clients in more than 200
cities in 120 countries.
The company has six operational
components, and each one benefits strongly from blockchain
technology, which provides security from the immutability and
security of cryptographically secure blockchain data, more
efficient data storage and transactions, as well as perfectly
integrating to other technologies (autonomous vehicles, AI, machine
learning, Internet of Things) that are revolutionizing the supply
chain industry:
