EVIDENCE / TRACEABILITY

Blockchain Traceability for Additive Manufacturing

Blockchain traceability creates tamper-evident proof of key additive manufacturing events while MainChain connects those proofs to identities, rights, orders and production context.

FROM VISION TO CAPABILITY

Connect the system.
Deploy the capability.

This Vistory capability connects physical production to MainChain command, control and traceability. The deployment model is configured around the operational requirement.

01

What is blockchain traceability for additive manufacturing?

The objective is not to store industrial files on a blockchain. It is to anchor evidence so organizations can verify asset integrity, authorized execution and the history of a production operation.

02

What problem does it solve?

A manufacturing log has limited evidential value when it can be changed, detached from the authorized file or attributed to the wrong actor. Traceability must bind data integrity to business authority.

03

How does it work?

  1. 01Hash the asset when it enters the governed workflow
  2. 02Verify the file again at execution
  3. 03Record authorized events and relevant process evidence
  4. 04Preserve an auditable chain across organizations

04

Use cases

  • Part genealogy
  • Compliance evidence
  • Supplier accountability
  • Digital thread integrity

05

Why Vistory?

MainChain uses cryptographic verification as part of an operational control system, combining technical evidence with the identities, licenses and orders that give events meaning.
