BLOCKCHAIN AND INTERNET OF THINGS BASED COMPUTERISED MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS

This doctoral research delves into the transformative potential of Hyperledger Fabric
Blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) within business management, specifically in the
development and implementation of a Computerised Maintenance Management System
(CMMS). It suggests that merging these advanced technologies could revolutionise
maintenance management and overall system performance. The study assesses the impact
on fundamental business processes within the IoT paradigm, highlighting the role of the
Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network in ensuring data integrity and enhancing transparency.
The integration of Blockchain protocol with IoT offers efficient data transactions, thereby
improving business data management and decision-making. The research further validates
the robustness of Fabric release V2.4 for CMMS development. The study concludes by
emphasising the need for additional research to understand long-term implications and
challenges in different business environments.
