Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for monitoring and managing parts, enterprise resources and other assets, and alleviating risks, in a complex collaboration environment are provided. According to some example aspects of the invention, a device with a hardware- and software-based control system scans and/or writes unique asset-related information within a plurality of chemical, electromagnetic, or written data-bearing tags within, on or throughout an asset for use in a manufacturing, maintenance and/or tracking process. In other example aspects, the system records that asset-specific information (e.g., using secure network(s) and/or a blockchain), providing it for later access and modification by a number of trusted users, to track and control manufacturing-, maintenance-relevant or other factors. In still other example aspects, an enterprise resource planning system both outputs information to, and receives information from, the control system, reconciling changes in the data.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for managing a preferred energy supply chain are provided. A system including a specialized hardware- and software-based control system with access to a network including one or more distributed ledger(s) authorizes one or more energy distribution entity(ies) to reserve future right(s) to preferred energy for distribution to customers using new forms of promissory tokens (e.g., reserved preferred energy tokens). The system includes a secure metering device with a crypto-processor, holding an asymmetric cryptography key pair associated with preferred energy production hardware. The device is physically attached or integrated with the production hardware, and exclusively holds a unique private key of the asymmetric cryptography key pair, while publishing only the public key of the key pair through the network. The system authenticates production of, and transactions in, clean energy using new forms of smart contracts between buyers and sellers, with the aid of a governance body.
