Abstract

This paper presents the development of an OpenThread network within the framework of a BMBF project, which is intended to transfer production data to a private blockchain in order to store the data in a tamper-proof and transparent manner. Among other things, special radio modules were developed for this purpose which support the OpenThread and Bluetooth Low Energy radio standards and thus additionally enable the connection of mobile devices to the private blockchain. During the conception and development of the radio modules as well as the communication protocols, emphasis was placed on ensuring that the radio network meets the high requirements for its use in an industrial environment, such as commissioning through plug & play,robustness, availability, data transfer rate, latency and, above all, IT security.
