Innovation Solution
A blockchain-based distributed validated system for tracking cannabis products from seed to consumer, incorporating sensors and computer-readable programs for quality assurance, and theranostic compositions with label-chelator-medical cannabinoid analog conjugates for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If comprehensive testing and tracking systems are implemented for cannabis products, then quality control and public safety are improved, but device complexity and manufacturing costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The comprehensive testing and tracking system is divided into multiple independent components: seed-to-sale tracking module, third-party lab testing module, sensor integration module, and blockchain verification module. Each component performs a specific function and can operate independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive quality control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
Blockchain technology serves as an intermediary layer that coordinates between various testing and tracking components. It provides a decentralized verification mechanism that simplifies data sharing between growers, processors, distributors, and testing laboratories, reducing the need for complex centralized management systems.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If third-party validated testing is required for all cannabis products, then public safety is improved, but productivity and market access are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary testing and validation during the cultivation and processing stages rather than requiring final testing at the point of sale. Quality control measures are implemented proactively throughout the supply chain, allowing products to be tested and verified before they enter the market, thus not creating bottlenecks at the point of sale.
Solution Approach 2:
The blockchain-based tracking system provides continuous feedback about product status, test results, and compliance status to all supply chain participants. This real-time information flow allows for rapid issue resolution and maintains product availability by enabling quick corrective actions without requiring lengthy verification processes at the point of sale.
3Loss of information
If integrated tracking from seed to consumer is implemented, then traceability is improved, but loss of information and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates and maintains digital copies of product information on the blockchain throughout the supply chain. Instead of requiring complex physical tracking and documentation, the system uses immutable digital records that automatically track products from seed to consumer, simplifying the tracking mechanism while ensuring complete traceability.
Solution Approach 2:
The blockchain-based tracking system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it tracks product movement, stores test results, verifies compliance status, maintains inventory records, and provides consumer information. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized systems, thereby reducing overall complexity while improving traceability.
4Ease of manufacture
If unregulated growth and processing methods are used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but harmful factors and product quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service quality monitoring where processing facilities and growers automatically report their own production data, test results, and compliance status to the blockchain network. This eliminates the need for complex external auditing and regulation while ensuring product safety through decentralized verification and continuous monitoring.
