DECENT’s Aviation Project 3IPK Holds First Demo

3IPK, the new blockchain aviation industry project aimed at redefining the presumably cut-and-dried aviation processes, has just announced several noteworthy bulletins pertaining to its progress. These include the first public showcase of the 3IPK application demo, a closer look at the SmartDust Fingerprinting technology, further plans to bring 3IPK to other branches of the industry, and more.

Last month, 3IPK and DECENT announced they are bringing blockchain to the aviation industry. Through DECENT’s customizable blockchain platform, DCore, this project aims to automate certification control, airworthiness, supply chain and maintenance processes for aerospace, automotive, defense and nuclear sectors.

Facing the Problem within the Aviation Industry

3IPK’s board member, Juraj Zamecnik, comments on the current situation of the aviation industry: “The issue of counterfeiting aircraft parts has had and will have an even stronger impact on the aviation business with the ever-increasing delivery rates of new aircraft. In addition to this, new technologies like 3D printing, which are on the rise, provide ever cheaper opportunities for malicious actors to make large amounts of money by providing close-to-perfect fake spare parts at a fraction of the cost.”

Mr. Zamecnik also adds: “Complete traceability of immutable certification data, as well as full traceability of immutably identified parts, can solve this issue. This is the contribution of 3IPK and DECENT to the overall safety of all aircraft.”

The 3IPK Application – Linking the Physical and Digital Worlds

Recently, the company internally showcased a functional closed demo of its application. The application contains several innovative methods which link aircraft physical parts to digital parts already recorded in the system. These can be easily added and paired via a feature called SmartDust Fingerprinting (see below), which allows for the recording of every action in the application through DECENT’s DCore blockchain. All of these records can be viewed through the Blockchain Explorer, which shows the exact block (of the blockchain) the operation was recorded in, and the timestamp of the specific record, precise down to the second.

The early version of the application includes features such as Earned Value Management (EVM), pairing/unpairing parts, a comparison function for meticulous document comparisons, installing approved parts into an aircraft, sending parts for repairs, and more. For its application, 3IPK will use a new stable token, IPK, which will be pegged to fiat money (USD).

The application is scheduled to be publicly showcased for the first time at the Chinese international aviation and aerospace exhibition, AIRSHOW CHINA 2018, in Zhuhai, China on November 6-8, 2018.

The Concept of SmartDust Fingerprinting

One of the innovative technologies 3IPK operates with goes by the name ‘SmartDust Fingerprinting’. This is an identification method of physical parts in such a way that the handler has almost 100% confidence that a different or falsely manufactured part will have an incompatible identification property.

The SmartDust Fingerprinting tech is based on marking an item with very small particles which can be dispensed in an immutable way – meaning that it is statistically impossible to place these small particles twice in the same way in space.

The technology, which is still in development together with 3IPK’s technology partners, will involve particles that can be distributed in two particular ways. One concerns metallic particles, sensitive to electromagnetic excitation, and their specific distribution in space that would provide an electromagnetic spectrum response. The other method includes a distribution of small colored particles or visual patterns, able to be then read by computer vision technology and processed by the AI. This will generate a unique digital code for every single part. In both cases, the immutability of such “labeling” would be, therefore, guaranteed.

This way, 3IPK plans to develop computer-vision based fingerprinting solutions which are not hosted on electromagnetic fields and will attempt to eliminate risks related to electromagnetic interference effects in critical aircraft areas.

3IPK’s CEO, Maria Capova, observes: “DECENT’s DCore aptly suits the purposes of 3IPK. Since 2017, the platform has proven its reliability and stability and can, therefore, guarantee a level of service which is required for aerospace industry applications. Don’t forget, we’re talking about business-critical applications where trustworthiness at the level of integration, as well as the experience of the technical team, is of utmost importance.”

Safety Beyond Aerospace

Maria Capova of 3IPK also claims: “Safety is paramount for the aviation industry as the very existence of this industrial segment relies on the safety record. Imagine having 10% of flights subject to an accident – would you take a plane for your next business trip to Singapore?”

According to 3IPK, the aviation and nuclear industry must be spearheading continuous improvements to safety standards. This is why 3IPK, in its initial phase, concentrates on this industry segment. After implementing its advanced processes into aerospace, as a next step, 3IPK plans to secure data as well as parts and decrease safety management costs in the automotive, train, construction, defense, nuclear and other sectors. The strategic concept of 3IPK is to grow into other industrial segments once its concepts are implemented in aerospace.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

The concept of a blockchain – a distributed, tamper-proof and time-stamped database of transactions that can be managed without intermediaries – is highly attractive in the supply chain domain, and the industry has launched a number of proof-of-concept initiatives. However, awareness of how blockchains work and what they can accomplish for supply chain is still relatively low. The lack of knowledge is exacerbated by the fast pace at which the technology is evolving. A success Blockchain Supply Chain Forum was held on October 24th in Shanghai, professional blockchain organizer EventLinker and Global Supply Chain Council will organize the Blockchain Supply Chain Forum on January 10th in Hong Kong, it is the forum connecting blockchain experts, supply chain and logistics decision makers and tech innovators. This intimate gathering will explore how companies are investigating the use and deployment of the technology to help their supply chains in China. Organizer: EventLinker ...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
