Abstract
Performance-based smart contracts in industrial automation (e.g., using a computerized tool) are enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components; and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a blockchain component that stores data representative of an output of an industrial automation device to an industrial blockchain, and an execution component that, in response to the output satisfying a smart contract stored on the industrial blockchain, facilitates execution of an element of the smart contract.
