Vehicle Parts Tracking on Warehouse to Prevent Spare Parts Counterfeiting in Car Service Station

Abstract

The problem of counterfeit vehicle parts still exists until now. Currently, companies are still looking for ways to handle it. Counterfeit parts are detrimental to customers, but if it used for vehicles, they could cause serious problems such as death. The problem of counterfeit spare parts has a broad impact, including country losses. Research on counterfeit spare parts has been carried out in various countries. A technology called Blockchain which developed in 2014 with the smart contract, can trace and track goods. Previous research was more theoretical. Therefore, this study aims to test or simulate blockchain technology (multichain) to trace and track spare parts in vehicle repair shops and shows how to record spare part information into the Blockchain. The research was conducted qualitatively by performing simulations and simulation results as well as validation for the research conducted on four experts, so this study could show how vehicle spare parts were recorded. The movement of vehicle parts starts from suppliers to workshops or warehouses. This study proves that blockchain technology can be used for component tracking and tracing so that the distribution of counterfeit spare parts can be minimized.
