Low Power Blockchain in Industry 4.0 Case Study: Water Management in Tunisia

Industry has undergone, during this decade, significant technological changes and improvements. The industrial sector is further moving towards IIoT (Industrial IoT) and Industry 4.0. Security and data reliability are IoT limitations that can be overcome using the Blockchain technology. In this work, the integration of blockchain in Industry 4.0 is presented. We develop a new platform based on artificial intelligence and smart contracts to monitor and track water consumption in Tunisia. A secure multiservice solution for water management is proposed. Water service providers and customers will be able to benefit from such services as consumption monitoring, traceability, security, water leak detection, visualization of water consumption and drinking water coverage. This approach allows reinforcing the trust and security among the different stakeholders.
