The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the logistics industry by enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of goods throughout the supply chain. However, the immense volume of telemetric data generated by IoT devices presents significant challenges in terms of scalability, data integrity, and security for traditional database solutions. This paper explores the applicability of blockchain technology as an alternative for storing and managing IoT telemetric data in logistics. The blockchain’s decentralized structure, immutable ledger, and smart contract capabilities to address these challenges have been investigated. An ability to enhance data security, automation, and transparency has been disclosed. A comparative analysis between blockchain-based storage and traditional databases, has benn presented, focusing on key criteria such as scalability, data integrity, security, and cost efficiency.
