Cargo Logistics with IoT and Blockchain Technology to Increase Transparency in Shipping Goods between Countries

Shipping cargo via airlines is one of the services provided by airlines to send goods or cargo over long distances in a short time. The complexity of the delivery process arises because of the many parties involved, which may be spread across several different countries. This condition demands coordination and transparency at every stage of the shipping process. The low transparency of transactions and the lack of a system that can trace the whereabouts of the goods being sent are crucial problems faced by shipping cargo via airlines. On the other hand, blockchain technology can provide high levels of transparency with the concept of peer-to-peer validation. Thus, the purpose of this research is to help the aviation industry improve transparency and traceability for cargo shipments. The research method uses a qualitative approach through a literature review to find problems in shipping cargo via airlines. A literature review is also used to study the mechanism of cargo delivery via airlines using a conventional system. The result of this research is a blockchain technology model and data simulation with blockchain framework to increase transparency and traceability of cargo shipments overseas via airlines.
