Tata Steel UK | Manufacturing | 8000 | $3.5B | United Kingdom | iov42 | Interu by iov42 | Traceability Management | 2022 | n/a | In 2022 Tata Steel UK collaborated with iov42 on an R&D prototype that implemented Interu by iov42 within a Traceability Management context. The engagement focused on proving blockchain and distributed ledger technology enabled digital product passports and electronic proof of delivery to assess steel supply chain traceability and delivery verification in the United Kingdom. The prototype configuration aligned with Traceability Management capabilities, emphasizing a distributed traceability ledger, digital product passport generation, event logging for material movements, and cryptographic proof constructs to bind provenance records. Interu by iov42 was used to model product lifecycle events and to demonstrate end to end visibility from dispatch to receipt, reflecting typical traceability workflows such as asset serialization, custody transfer recording, and verification at delivery. Deployment scope was limited to an R&D prototype environment operating with Tata Steel UK and selected supply chain partners in the UK, not a full production rollout. The technical architecture emphasized ledger anchoring and immutable event records, with implementation workstreams concentrated in supply chain, logistics, operations, and quality functions to validate record capture and verification processes. Governance for the proof of concept centered on iterative prototype sprints between Tata Steel UK and iov42, with data provenance and record integrity as primary controls to evaluate. The engagement served to inform future Traceability Management decisions by demonstrating Interu by iov42 capabilities for digital passports and proof of delivery without asserting production outcomes. | |
