Blockchain is often associated with cryptocurrency, yet its greatest potential lies in its ability to create trusted, tamper-resistant records. This presentation explores how blockchain technology can strengthen the integrity, traceability, and auditability of inspection records, helping organizations improve transparency, support regulatory compliance, and enhance confidence in inspection data. Through real-world examples from IBM and Walmart, attendees will see how blockchain is being applied beyond finance and how its core capabilities can support inspection and quality management systems.
he session will also discuss practical considerations, implementation challenges, and key factors organizations should evaluate when considering blockchain as part of their quality and inspection strategy.
