China Telecom Digital Technology Hebei Branch Applies for Patent on "Warehouse Management System Based on PBFT"

On November 6, 2024, the National Intellectual Property Administration disclosed that China Telecom Digital Technology Co., Ltd. Hebei Branch had applied for a patent in August 2024 for a "Warehouse Management System Based on PBFT, Blockchain Consensus Method and Electronic Equipment", with the publication number CN118898447A. The patent belongs to the blockchain technology field, aiming to improve the overall performance and security of warehouse management systems by optimizing data synchronization and consensus mechanisms.

The patent abstract shows that the application proposes a novel warehouse management system, the core of which is a blockchain consensus method based on the Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT) algorithm. The system mainly includes the following modules:

• Node Registration Module: Responsible for receiving and processing node registration requests from supply chain participants, connecting eligible supply chain participants to the blockchain network as independent nodes.

• Data On-Chain Module: Real-time recording of key data during the warehouse management process, and uploading this data to the blockchain network, ensuring data authenticity and traceability.

• Consensus Mechanism Module: Built using the PBFT algorithm, ensuring data consistency among all nodes connected to the blockchain network through a multi-stage message exchange process. The core of this module is the periodic replacement mechanism for the primary node. The system selects a new primary node from all nodes based on node performance evaluation rules.

• Traceability Inquiry Module: Responds to traceability inquiry requests from authorized participants, providing historical data and status of the corresponding goods, achieving transparent management of the entire process of goods origin, flow, and status.

By introducing the PBFT consensus mechanism, the patent solution effectively addresses issues such as data tampering and information opacity in traditional warehouse management systems. Specifically, the PBFT algorithm can ensure the system's normal operation and data authenticity, integrity, and consistency even when some nodes experience failures or malicious behavior. Meanwhile, the solution also enhances the overall performance of warehouse management systems and improves data processing efficiency by optimizing data synchronization and consensus mechanisms.

The application of this patent reflects China Telecom Digital Technology Co., Ltd.'s commitment to continuous exploration and innovation in blockchain technology, and also indicates the significant potential of blockchain technology in improving warehouse management efficiency and security. In the future, as blockchain technology continues to deepen its application in warehouse management, we have reason to believe that this technology will further drive the innovation of warehouse management models, bringing more benefits to enterprises.
