The project proposes the study and development of a new infotechnological system for the agri-food supply chain, through the development of new systems, based on the blockchain paradigm, capable of redefining the concept of traceability based on a multiple approach (documentary, direct measurement of parameters and indicators and data compatibility/consistency) and on the creation of a shared open platform, up to the evolution towards the concept of “digital distributed company”. The Blockfil project has carried out its research activities along 3 fundamental lines, which are also directly and intimately connected, and they will represent the evolutionary future of production processes and will define new business models:

• Industrial IoT, understood as a push towards the digitalisation of processes
• Blockchain, which is instantiated as a trust layer capable of automating many industrial processes efficiently
• Artificial Intelligence, capable of creating value from data processing with a view to making processes more efficient
