A supply chain forecasting system with blockchain controls is discussed. The supply chain forecasting system can include a central computing system communicating with a third party computing system. The central computing system and third party computing system can initiate, adjust, and fulfill smart contracts associated with the delivery of physical objects using blockchain controls.

System and method for forecasting deliveries via blockchain smart contracts

System and methods for compressing data for use in a distributed ledger are provided. In one form, the system includes: a network interface; a user interface device; and a control circuit coupled to the network interface and the user interface device. In this form, the control circuit executes a data compression module configured to: receive, via the network interface, a data set; transform and store the data set into a file format of rows and columns in which data of the data set are stored in a columnar fashion; apply a first compression step to compress each row and write each compressed row into the file format; apply a second compression step to further compress data after the compressed rows have been written into the file format; and encode the compressed data and transmit the encoded data to a first node of a distributed ledger.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to monitoring condition compliance. In some embodiments, a system comprises a child device comprising a child device sensor configured to capture condition data, a child device memory configured to store the condition data, a child device transmitter configured to transmit the condition data, and a control circuit configured to cause transmission of a discovery message, receive acknowledgment messages, determine if the discovery message reached a parent device, if the discovery message reached a parent device, cause transmission of the condition data to the parent device, and if the discovery message did not reach a parent device, determine, from the other devices, one of the other devices, and cause transmission of the condition data to the one of the other devices, and the parent device configured to store and transmit condition data received from a plurality of child devices.
