Manufacturing industry is huge and we all know with blockchain targeting this sector, it is really going to bring about great development to the manufacturing industry and the economy at large. He is totally right with saying that all the whole thing with Artificial intelligence, blockchain and internet of things becoming useless without being applied in the manufacturing industry, but I believe as time goes on, manufacturing industry will see the need to adopt these technologies and put them into practical use.
Manufacturing and transportation are two very big fields the blockchain is suitable and can help a lot.
Just we talk here about private blockchains, so the companies will have to be open for such change.
I guess that there are startups trying to create blockchains for such use, but they may not be that visible here on bitcointalk.
We have actually had some projects that have are targeting the manufacturing industry even though we all know that real life usage itself right now is really nothing but I do not expect things to just happen rapidly. It will take some time before we start seeing implementation of these things in real life practical usage and I sure understand the fact that this would be a very big industry to target and that would really bring about a huge development to the sector.
