Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for triggering a writing of a new block on a blockchain structure based on a completion of a work order using one or more Internet of Things (IoT) sensor readings is provided. The present invention may include addressing, by a service technician, an IoT event associated with a physical asset. The present invention may then include updating a digital twin associated with the physical asset based on the addressed IoT event. The present invention may further include automatically writing the new block associated with the addressed IoT event on the blockchain structure based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring, by one or more Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, a physical asset;
- based on the monitoring, identifying an Internet of Things (IoT) event associated with the physical asset;
- updating a digital twin associated with the physical asset based on the addressed IoT event, wherein the digital twin grows over time to mimic experiences of the physical asset based on one or more reporting readings from the one or more IoT sensors;
- calculating an urgency score for the IoT event based on the digital twin;
- responsive to determining that the urgency score associated with the IoT event exceeds a threshold, automatically writing a new block associated with the addressed IoT event on a blockchain structure based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset;
- and
- responsive to determining that the urgency score associated with the IoT event meets or falls below the threshold, writing a new entry associated with the addressed IoT event in a traditional database based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset.
A computer system for triggering a writing of a new block on a blockchain structure based on a completion of a work order using one or more Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, comprising:
- a physical asset comprising one or more IoT sensors, one or more traditional databases, one or more blockchain ledgers, one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
- monitoring, by one or more Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, a physical asset;
- based on the monitoring, identifying an Internet of Things (IoT) event associated with the physical asset;
- updating a digital twin associated with the physical asset based on the addressed IoT event, wherein the digital twin grows over time to mimic experiences of the physical asset based on one or more reporting readings from the one or more IoT sensors;
- calculating an urgency score for the IoT event based on the digital twin;
- responsive to determining that the urgency score associated with the IoT event exceeds a threshold, automatically writing a new block associated with the addressed IoT event on a blockchain structure based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset;
- and
- responsive to determining that the urgency score associated with the IoT event meets or falls below the threshold, writing a new entry associated with the addressed IoT event in a traditional database based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset.
A computer program product for triggering a writing of a new block on a blockchain structure based on a completion of a work order using one or more Internet of Things (IoT) sensor readings, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable tangible storage media and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- monitoring, by one or more Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, a physical asset;
- based on the monitoring, identifying an Internet of Things (IoT) event associated with the physical asset;
- updating a digital twin associated with the physical asset based on the addressed IoT event, wherein the digital twin grows over time to mimic experiences of the physical asset based on one or more reporting readings from the one or more IoT sensors;
- calculating an urgency score for the IoT event based on the digital twin;
- responsive to determining that the urgency score associated with the IoT event exceeds a threshold, automatically writing a new block associated with the addressed IoT event on a blockchain structure based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset;
- and
- responsive to determining that the urgency score associated with the IoT event meets or falls below the threshold, writing a new entry associated with the addressed IoT event in a traditional database based on the updated digital twin associated with the physical asset.
