SUPPLY CHAIN TO BLOCKCHAIN

Harvest Network consists of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain that build a mesh network for managing supply chain. Utilizing ERC-721 tokens for assets, now all participants of the supply chain can view and analyze the data of their supply chain. With hand-held devices like cellphones, IoT scanners, and printers installed at farms and processing facilities the entire process from start to finish is turned into data and economically stored on the blockchain.
IoT Sensors custom installed
With automated sensors built into the workflow of the facility, tracking has never been easier. Using the Harvest Network Web portal allows for streamlined data analytics over the entire process.
Created and deployed on our Smart Contract Platform
Assets are tracked with our IoT sensors from the very beginning of their lifecycle. As assets move between entities and processing facilities, our Smart Contract network manages and displays the whole history of the asset.
Consumer End Management
Harvest Network Smart Contract systems works with the web portal and consumer phone app, meaning now consumers can see the data on their product in store! Manage recalls with a touch of a button using our recall alert function. Track data on what products consumers like the most.
ERC-721 assets that can be fully customized
Assets are stored as ERC-721 Non-Fungible tokens, this means any data can be attached and securely stored to a single asset or a whole batch. Entire truckloads can be transferred between owners, or updated with pictures. All the data is customized to your needs while upholding GS1 and PTI standards.

SMART CONTRACT DESIGN

Harvest Network provides traceability and complete data management via their unique Ethereum Smart Contract system. Utilizing the safest standards for production Harvest Network has a multi-level management system to track, update, display and analyze data on your products. All hosted on the Ethereum Blockchain.
Immutable ledger meets traceability
Using the Ethereum blockchain allows for all the data stored on the smart contract system to be accessed and viewed anywhere in the world, without fear of being hacked. Now customers in Japan can see where the California Orange was grown, how it was handled, what went into production, etc.
Stand alone or fully integrated
Harvest Network's systems are so robust they can be used as stand alone solutions for traceability on smaller production sites and farms, or fully integrated to work with the software already used in the largest production houses in the country.
Transparent data analytics
Allowing users and facilities to see the data that is relevant to them. Using the ethereum blockchain for premissioned views - the control is in the hands of the farmer.

WEB PORTAL AND PHONE APP

Web Portal for GS1 Traceability and Data Analytics

Harvest Network's web portal is the perfect solution for easy integration into your current workflow. Custom integration at your facility means we can work with all systems that are already in place. Our easy web interface allows user managements to log in from anywhere in the world and access your data. Interacting with the Ethereum Blockchain has never been easier.

Employment Duration 9 mos
Location Shanghai City, China

I worked on the the back-end API for BlockAero which uses a microservices architecture and was written in Bash and Python. The API takes an image or PDF as an input, and uses machine learning and neural networks for classification, and uses OCR and text parsing to return relevant data from the page.

I worked on:
- image processing in OpenCV
- optimising OCR output from Tesseract by adjusting parameters as well as image preprocessing techniques
- using machine learning to classify data
- creating/adjusting some of the microservices
- text parsing to extract relevant data from the page and to account for small errors in the OCR process
