How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Hyperledger Fabric, Ethereum (Solidity), Hardhat, Node.js, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real traceability proof-of-concept procedures, RFID reading and DataMatrix marking, and cost-benefit analysis. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Identify spare parts traceability and counterfeiting problems.
Explain the fundamentals of distributed ledgers.
Select physical identification technologies for spare parts.
Design a blockchain-based traceability solution.
Plan the implementation and operation with supply chain partners.
