Polkadot Efficiency in aeronautical logistics Vodafone x Aventus Network)

AventusNetwork is built on the Polkadot tech stack, and in 2022, it joined forces with paritytech to expand the Polkadot ecosystem and drive blockchain adoption across Aventus’ existing enterprise use cases.

The partnership between Vodafone and Aventus is developing a solution that involves equipping cargo tracking pods with blockchain-enabled SIM cards connected to the DAB platform.

• 5%-10% of cargo pods go missing/year
• $400 million in losses

DAB is a basic SIM card integrated into a device, transforming into a DAB SIM when paired with a DAB IoT identity passport. As a cargo pod navigates, data can be recorded on the blockchain layer, with Vodafone characterizing it as a “blockchain of blockchains.”

Heathrow Airport, where AventusNetwork‘s blockchain solutions are employed to oversee aircraft unit load devices for tracking luggage, freight, and mail, will be the chosen location to implement the developed solution.

• Cut Missing Baggage at Heathrow by 80%
