Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Congratulations , Sid Chakravarthy

What for ?

His start up is building an end-to-end AI-Blockchain based, supply chain for Covid vaccine




Here is that report :



Extract :

Ø  “Just imagine the challenge of supplying vaccines across more than 150 countries and the likely scramble to get supplies. It is mind blowing,” says Chakravarthy.

Ø  “Even in a normal environment, when millions of vaccine doses are supplied, it is a challenge to keep track of the progress right from the company where the production happens to the final place administration”, he says

Ø  Chakravarthy says that it was in 2016, after tinkering with the idea of how to track a product right from where it gets manufactured to see how it gets delivered and who uses it, he realised that most companies do not have any clue as to what happens after they make a product.


Ø  “We have developed a Vaccine Ledger, which helps track every single dose, right from the time it is manufactured, it is given a unique ID, moves through complex supply chains from one government to another, then to the healthcare set-up and, finally, where it is administered,” he explains.

Rationing of Covid Vaccine ?   ………………………………………………………………………[ 06 July 2020 ]


Extract :

Besides using such exhaustive data for all ( Covid infected or not ) in order for AI software to tell us the “ priorities for vaccination “, what else should the Government do ensure that there is no “ black marketing “ of the limited supplies of the vaccine ?

Answer :

     Today , each strip / bottle of a medicine carries “ batch number


    #  For vaccine, each bottle / vial , besides carrying Batch Number, must carry
        UNIQUE bottle number / vial number .

    #  Vaccine Manufacturer will record which bottle got dispatched to which drug store/when.
        
        Data will get automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central Server


   #  Pharmacy Stores to maintain Computerized Record of who ( which person ) was sold a
       given “ Vial Number “ . This data will get automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central
       Server


   #  No vial to be sold to anyone unless a Mobile App ( VaccineVend  ? ) clearly displays that
       person’s priority  ( as determined by AI ) , as HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW . No person without
       such Mobile App will be sold the vaccine


   #  Chemist will enter sale-details in customer / buyer’s Mobile App , which will get
       automatically transmitted to Govt’s Central Server

Dear Sid,


Talking of “ End-to-End Supply Chain “, you might want to look up :

Highways to Hyper-loops   …………………………………………………………………..[ 09 March 2018 ]

Where I wrote :

     Aim to turn India’s highways into friction-less “ Conveyor Belts of Commerce “


     Look up conveyor belts in the warehouses of Amazon / Flipkart / UPS / FedEx etc , which carry hundreds of packages per minute – with each package carrying dozens of different items ( can we replace “ packages “ with TRUCKS and “ conveyor belts “ with HIGHWAYS ? )


     Each item within each box , has RFID chip and QR code ( interlinked )


     Sensors placed along the conveyor belt “ reads “ each package and each item inside each package . No need to stop the flow of the packages


     E-way Bill too , will have all the QR Codes / RFID data , of each item loaded onto the truck ( Price / Origin City / Destination City / Supplier with GSTN registration number / Recipient with his GSTN registration number / GST – ISGST – SGST amount for each item / Date of Dispatch / Validity of E Way Bill etc )



     Just like today’s Mobile Apps of UPS / FedEx enable online tracking of each package and of individual items within each package , that “ high technology interface “ being proposed by the Government should incorporate the following technologies :

 #   QR code / RFID chip /  GPS based NaviC  /  Internet of Vehicles ( IoV )
