BMW ha puesto en marcha la organizaci\u00f3n PartChain, que utiliza la tecnolog\u00eda blockchain para aumentar la transparencia en las cadenas de suministro mundiales en lo que respecta a materias primas y componentes. Se invita a las empresas interesadas a unirse a la iniciativa.<\/p>\n
El objetivo del proyecto es permitir la trazabilidad sin fisuras de todos los componentes con s\u00f3lo pulsar un bot\u00f3n. La empresa alemana est\u00e1 utilizando una combinaci\u00f3n de tecnolog\u00edas blockchain y en la nube para crear transparencia en las complejas cadenas de suministro. Blockchain est\u00e1 en el coraz\u00f3n del proyecto porque esta tecnolog\u00eda garantiza el intercambio de datos a prueba de falsificaciones. BMW afirma que el m\u00e9todo ya ha demostrado su eficacia en una prueba: \"En 2019, llevamos a cabo con \u00e9xito un proyecto piloto para la compra de faros delanteros. Este a\u00f1o queremos ampliar el proyecto a otros muchos proveedores\", declar\u00f3 Andreas Wendt, miembro del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de BMW AG responsable de Compras y Red de Proveedores.<\/p>\n
La transparencia es especialmente importante en el uso de recursos finitos tan importantes, sobre todo en el uso de las bater\u00edas. En este sentido, BMW ha estado trabajando para lograr una mayor transparencia en la extracci\u00f3n de materias primas. Durante la inauguraci\u00f3n del centro de competencia de bater\u00edas de M\u00fanich, el jefe de BMW, Oliver Zipse, reiter\u00f3 que el objetivo era lograr una \"transparencia total\" a este respecto. En octubre del a\u00f1o pasado, la empresa alemana anunci\u00f3 que estaba cambiar su estrategia de recursos<\/a> y prescindir\u00eda del cobalto del Congo para la pr\u00f3xima quinta generaci\u00f3n de bater\u00edas de sus coches el\u00e9ctricos. La empresa obtiene su cobalto de minas en Marruecos y Australia<\/a> antes de ponerla a disposici\u00f3n de sus propios proveedores de c\u00e9lulas. Sin embargo, dentro de unos a\u00f1os, BMW tambi\u00e9n tiene previsto volver a comprar en el pa\u00eds centroafricano. \"No queremos excluir al Congo; es nuestro objetivo declarado abastecernos de nuevo en el Congo\", afirma el comprador de material Peter Zisch. \"Creemos que podremos volver a hacerlo a partir de minas espec\u00edficas a partir de 2025\". BMW ya est\u00e1 apoyando proyectos correspondientes<\/a> en el Congo con BASF y Samsung SDI para establecer all\u00ed una extracci\u00f3n de cobalto limpia y transparente.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BMW ha puesto en marcha la organizaci\u00f3n PartChain, que utiliza la tecnolog\u00eda blockchain para aumentar la transparencia en las cadenas de suministro mundiales de materias primas y componentes.

Volvo<\/a> and Volkswagen<\/a> have also already presented their own projects to enable them to trace the sources of their cobalt precisely with the help of the blockchain.<\/p>\n With the Blockchain initiative, BMW wants to take all of its purchasing to the next level of digitalization. According to the Munich-based company, the use of blockchain is conceivable along the “entire automotive value chain”. Until now, the multi-level international supply chains have been difficult to understand in view of the large number of players and rapid changes. “Our vision is an open platform by means of which data within supply chains can be exchanged and shared securely and anonymously across industries,” says Wendt. With the idea of an open platform, other companies are explicitly invited to join the initiative. “An industry-wide solution would enable all partners involved to more closely link and coordinate their business processes across company boundaries,” says BMW, looking ahead.<\/p>\n Last year’s pilot project involved the BMW plants in Dingolfing and Spartanburg in the USA and, on the supplier side, three automotive lighting businesses. While these parties were purely concerned with tracking parts, in the long term BMW also expects the blockchain technology to enable the complete traceability of critical raw materials, “from the mine to the smelter”. In the newly-formed PartChain project, another ten or so suppliers will soon be integrated.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, BMW is already thinking further ahead with regard to the potential of an open blockchain platform. In order to create common standards and control models on which such a platform would have to be based, BMW has already co-founded the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI)<\/a> in 2018. This is a cross-industry initiative made up of 120 automotive, mobility and technology companies that want to help block-chain technology achieve a breakthrough in the mobility sector. Within MOBI, BMW heads a working group for supply chain issues.<\/p>\n
