Product movement tracking stands as a pivotal aspect of logistics operations. The ever-expanding application of IoT technologies holds significant potential to enhance product tracking in logistics. However, the rapid expansion of IoT usage has also introduced several challenges, particularly concerning data privacy, security, and transparency. Blockchain technology, through distributed ledger systems, offers a secure and transparent means to manage transactions within a network. In this study, the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network, chosen for its private and permissioned nature, leverages authentication features to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of data from IoT devices. By integrating the widely adopted MQTT protocol, IoT devices involved in logistics processes communicate effectively with the blockchain network. This study presents a system where IoT devices enable the secure and automated tracking of data through blockchain's registration and distribution mechanisms, all of which are demonstrated within a simulation environment. Developed specifically for the logistics sector, this system holds promising potential to address challenges across various fields.
