Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) has
announced a partnership with Filament, a blockchain-based tech provider for the Internet of Things (IoT).
The partnership is centered on the desire to develop a peer-to-peer platform which allows DTNA to use blockchain technology to improve its remanufactured components service. This part of the business involves rebuilding truck components from a combination of reused, repaired and new components. It allows for the repair of worn out or obsolete parts. This project marks the first step for DTNA in using blockchain to improve its commercial vehicle maintenance service. Blockchain will allow for the recording of truck part’s origins and history on a secure system.
Lori Heino-Royer, director, business development at Daimler Trucks North America elaborated: “DTNA has many parties that need to track and share data concerning the status, condition, timing and more, associated with our vehicles, major components and other spare parts. Our vision is to provide full transparency along our supply chain for faster and more efficient operations.’”
