The system uses block chain and encryption technology to register information about an asset that is manufactured and for which the digital footprint is to be tracked and recorded. Through use of encryption key pairs and blockchain encryption technology, an electronic document is created in an encrypted transaction log updated at each change to the equipment including the parts and its maintenance records. From the manufacturer or distributor, the asset is shipped with an encryption key that provides access to the equipment information and allows further updates on parts that are added or removed, maintenance performed, warranty work completed and operating metrics are to be provided as available.
