摘要
港口作业中的供应链瓶颈导致严重延误和效率低下。区块链技术提供了防篡改分类账、安全交易和自动化功能,是一种可行的解决方案。虽然目前存在大量关于开发基于区块链的解决方案的研究,但缺乏专门针对优化港口文件管理以加快供应链运作的研究。本文介绍了使用超级账本结构优化港口运营的供应区块链功能原型。在核心功能方面,该原型允许启动与创建和编辑港口相关文件等功能相对应的智能合约,最大限度地减少人工干预,提高效率以减少港口拥堵。此外,它还能实时跟踪已完成的事件和交易,提高透明度并简化监督。Hyperledger Fabric 的权限性质确保了安全性和强大的访问控制,与敏感的港口业务相得益彰。Hyperledger Firefly 及其连接器框架被用作中间件,以促进区块链集成和原型的各种功能,而使用 Go 语言开发的 chaincode 则用于打包和部署智能合约。原型开发以供应区块链框架为理论框架,并采用敏捷项目管理以确保按时完成。基于功能和性能测试的结果表明,原型在缓解港口文件瓶颈和快速为主要利益相关者带来效益方面具有潜力。
Supply-Blockchain Functional Prototype for Optimizing Port Operations Using Hyperledger Fabric
Supply chain bottlenecks in port operations lead to significant delays and inefficiencies. Blockchain technology emerges as a viable solution, offering tamper-resistant ledgers, secure transactions, and automation capabilities. While considerable research on developing blockchain-based solutions currently exist, there is a lack of studies that specifically focus on optimizing port document management to speed up supply chain operations. In this paper, a supply-blockchain functional prototype for optimizing port operations using Hyperledger Fabric is introduced. In terms of core functionality, the prototype allows initiation of smart contract corresponding to functions such as creating and editing port-related documents, minimizing manual interventions and enhancing efficiency to reduce port congestion. Furthermore, it provides live tracking of completed events and transactions, facilitating transparency and streamlined oversight. The permissioned nature of Hyperledger Fabric ensures security and robust access controls, aligning well with sensitive port operations. Hyperledger Firefly and its connector framework was used as the middleware to facilitate blockchain integration and various functions of the prototype, while chaincode developed using Go language was used to package and deploy smart contracts. The supply-blockchain framework was used as the theoretical framework for prototype development, and agile project management was adopted to ensure timely completion. The results based on functional and performance testing demonstrate the prototype’s potential in alleviating port documentation bottlenecks and quickly delivering benefits to key stakeholders.
