WiMi Developed a Decentralized Cloud Manufacturing Model Based on Blockchain(BC)

BEIJING, Nov. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, has developed a decentralized cloud manufacturing model based on blockchain (BC), called Decentralized Cloud Manufacturing Application (DCMApp). DCMApp utilizes the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain to facilitate protocol and communication between resource providers and clients through blockchain-based smart contracts (SC). This innovation not only enhances the transparency, cost-effectiveness, and security of the cloud manufacturing system but also eliminates the need for trusted third parties.

Industry 4.0 refers to the integration of advanced information technology with manufacturing technology to build smart factories and achieve the digitalization and intelligence of production processes. Its core technologies include cyber-physical systems (CPS), the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, and cloud computing, among others. Through these technologies, Industry 4.0 enables the adaptive, self-organizing, and self-optimizing manufacturing processes, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality while reducing production costs and resource consumption.

Cloud manufacturing is a novel manufacturing model based on cloud computing. It virtualizes and shares manufacturing resources such as equipment, software, capabilities, and knowledge as services, enabling on-demand manufacturing and rapid response to market demands. The pay-as-you-go model of cloud manufacturing technology allows enterprises to acquire advanced manufacturing capabilities without massive investments, greatly reducing manufacturing costs and improving resource utilization efficiency.

However, the centralized structure of cloud manufacturing technology brings a series of issues. For instance, centralized cloud manufacturing platforms rely on third-party service providers, which pose risks of single points of failure and data breaches. Additionally, as manufacturing demands increase, the centralized platform faces increased load pressure, which can lead to service interruptions and performance degradation. Manufacturing data is stored on third-party servers, creating risks of data lock-in and malicious tampering.

To overcome these challenges, WiMi proposes a decentralized cloud manufacturing model based on blockchain technology. Blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger technology that ensures data immutability and traceability through cryptography and consensus algorithms. Each node in the blockchain network maintains a complete copy of the data, and new data is verified and recorded through consensus mechanisms to ensure the authenticity and consistency of the data. Smart contracts, defined by pre-programmed rules and conditions, automatically execute the contract terms. Smart contracts not only enable automated transactions and payments but also can be used for complex business logic and process control, widely applied in finance, law, the Internet of Things, and other fields.

WiMi's decentralized cloud manufacturing model, based on blockchain(BC) technology, utilizes a hybrid structure in its DCMApp architecture design. It combines private and public blockchains, with the Ethereum network serving as the public blockchain. The private blockchain is used to store manufacturing data and resource information within the enterprise, ensuring data privacy and security. The public blockchain (Ethereum) is used to record and verify manufacturing agreements, facilitating decentralized communication between resource providers and customers through smart contracts.

Working principles of DCMApp:

Resource registration and publication: Manufacturing resource providers register resource information onto the DCMApp platform through the private blockchain and publish it onto the Ethereum network using smart contracts.

Resource querying and matching: Customers query the required manufacturing resources through the DCMApp platform, and smart contracts automatically match suitable resource providers based on customer demands.

Protocol signing and execution: Customers and resource providers sign manufacturing agreements through smart contracts, and the agreement terms and execution status are recorded on the Ethereum network.

Data recording and verification: Data generated during the manufacturing process is recorded on the private blockchain, and key data is uploaded to the Ethereum network for verification using hash values, ensuring data immutability and traceability.

Advantages of WiMi's decentralized cloud manufacturing model based on blockchain(BC):

Firstly, it offers decentralization and transparency: By utilizing blockchain technology for managing manufacturing agreements, it eliminates the reliance on third parties, enhancing the transparency and trustworthiness of agreement execution.

Secondly, it significantly improves security and reliability: The distributed storage and cryptography of blockchain ensure the security and immutability of data, reducing the risks of single-point failures and data breaches.

Furthermore, the hybrid architecture of DCMApp allows manufacturing agreements to be stored on the blockchain network at a low cost, eliminating the need for expensive server infrastructure. It also provides excellent scalability.

As Industry 4.0 advances, the DCMApp of WiMi's decentralized cloud manufacturing model based on blockchain (BC) holds broad application prospects in the manufacturing industry. In the future, DCMApp is expected to become a crucial infrastructure in manufacturing, driving the intelligent and digital transformation of manufacturing processes. Furthermore, with the continuous development of blockchain technology, DCMApp's functionality and performance will further enhance, bringing more innovation and value to the manufacturing industry. DCMApp is poised to serve as a blockchain-based decentralized cloud manufacturing model, enabling decentralized communication between resource providers and customers through smart contracts. It overcomes reliability, security, continuity, and scalability issues brought by the centralized structure in cloud manufacturing technology. DCMApp not only enhances the transparency, cost-effectiveness, and security of manufacturing agreements but also eliminates reliance on third parties, providing new impetus for innovation and development in the manufacturing industry. Against the backdrop of Industry 4.0, DCMApp has the potential to become a critical infrastructure in manufacturing, driving the intelligent and digital transformation of manufacturing processes.
