Itachain, raw material traceability for Made in Italy products

Being able to trace raw materials is essential to ensuring transparency and safety in the production chain. While it was once more complicated to trace all processes and supplies, today, with the advent of blockchain technology, monitoring every production stage has become simpler and more reliable.

What is Itachain?

The innovation of blockchain (a special computer network) allows us to track all the events and raw materials used during the various stages of a production chain.
While in ancient times a “ledger” was used to record information and transactions, today the blockchain represents a public register where data is managed in a secure and transparent manner (open to all).

This traceability method led to the creation of Itachain, the Italian blockchain that offers a solution suited to the Made in Italy products we use.
This traceability system helps promote Italian products abroad. It protects them from counterfeiting, which makes products appear Italian when they aren't. Foreign consumers will be able to view and verify product data traced via blockchain, with a direct communication channel: simply scan the QR code on the product label.

Specifically, the TrackIT blockchain project focuses on products from the agri-food and textile supply chains, creating a value chain dedicated to the traceability of Made in Italy products in these sectors.

Advantages of using blockchain

• Security : Recorded data is immutable and protected from manipulation.

• Transparency : All information is accessible and verifiable by consumers.

• Reliability : reducing the risk of fraud and counterfeiting of Made in Italy products.

Products certified on the blockchain

There is a wide range of products certified through this system, and they essentially concern different areas.
In the apparel sector, garments are made with traceable raw materials. For accessories, unique products are registered with certificates of authenticity. In the technology sector, devices with monitored components are included.

Some of the tracked products are available in the Avalon Italia blockchain collection . They are different variations of the Avalon bean bag pouf, handcrafted for maximum comfort with its softness and ergonomics.

In addition to indicating the product details, the Itachain sheet shows all the production processes , from cutting the product to preparing the materials and sewing machines, through sewing and finishing, the padding process, up to quality control and final packaging.
Furthermore, the product sheet mentions the integrated maintenance and care kit, designed for use in case of accidental breakage or for testing cleaning products.

How to create your own traceable product

It only takes a few steps to make it even more reliable through blockchain tracking.

1. Registration: Register on the Itachain platform.

2. Data entry: Add information about the raw materials used.

3. Certification: A certificate is generated on the blockchain for your product.

4. Sharing: You can show customers traceability through a QR code or link.
