Abstract
The integration of blockchain technology into supply chain management presents a paradigm shift with the potential to revolutionize industrial product design. This research explores the capacity of blockchain to address inherent supply chain challenges, including lack of traceability, stakeholder distrust, limited transparency, outdated data sharing methods, and compliance issues. Blockchain's decentralized structure, immutability, and smart contract capabilities offer solutions by enhancing transparency, ensuring data integrity, automating processes, and fostering trust among stakeholders. The study investigates how blockchain implementation can optimize various facets of the industrial design product lifecycle, from raw material sourcing and design to production, distribution, and end-of-life management. Furthermore, it examines the implications of blockchain for promoting sustainability, ethical practices, and consumer trust, highlighting its role in creating more resilient, efficient, and transparent supply chain ecosystems. To understand the integration of blockchain technology into the supply chain of industrial design products, this paper systematically summarizes the status of blockchain technology, its main characteristics, and its potential applications in the field of industrial design. The analysis concludes that while challenges such as energy consumption and the need for standardization remain, the strategic adoption of blockchain technology can significantly redefine industrial design product supply chains, fostering innovation and sustainable growth.
