This project addresses an analysis of the technology blockchain, from the technological, regulatory and legal point of view, which allows to know to the Spanish manufacturers of construction machinery their strengths and limitations and from there it is possible to define new innovative services and new global business models based on the attributes and capabilities of blockchain technology.

To this end, the following activities will be carried out:

• Capture of needs and opportunities to be solved in the global value chain of manufacturers of construction machinery that may be susceptible to generate new services or new business models.
• Conducting of a study on the application (opportunities, limitations and possible solutions) of blockchain technology for the construction machinery manufacturers sector. Classification of the most relevant technologies (platforms, existing development tools , integration with IoT systems, tools for smart contracts, etc.).
• Development of a technological demonstrator at laboratory level that allows to visualize the operation of blockchain technology for the generation of a service in a simulated environment, which will allow a better dissemination of the possibilities of this technology among manufacturers of construction machinery.
• Development of business models for construction machinery manufacturers for the provision and sale of services based on blockchain technology at combined with other technologies (especially IoT).
• Generation of projects for the development and implementation of new services and/or new/improved machines that through the use of blockchain technology in combination with other technologies (especially IoT) enable the implementation of new business models for construction machinery manufacturers.
