Abstract: A method is for inserting a further data block into a first ledger, the first ledger including data blocks. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving a further medical dataset via an interface; determining the further data block via a calculation unit. The further data block includes the further medical dataset and a further link information. The further link information includes a hash of at least one of the data blocks of the first ledger. Finally, in an embodiment the method includes inserting the further data block into the first ledger via the calculation unit.

Abstract: A method of an embodiment includes obtaining first measurement data indicative of one or more environmental conditions of field devices during a shipment of the field devices; obtaining second measurement data indicative of one or more operational conditions of the field devices during an operation of the of field devices; and performing a comparison of the first measurement data and the second measurement data to obtain correlation data indicative of an impact of the one or more environmental conditions on the operation of the field devices.

Abstract: A method and system are for providing microservice information. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving a microservice request via an interface, the microservice request being related to a first microservice; determining the microservice information by querying a microservice database based on the microservice request, via at least one processor, the microservice information being based on an instance of the first microservice and the microservice database being stored in a distributed ledger; and providing the microservice information via the interface. The inventors recognized that by using a microservice registry stored in a distributed ledger, a local copy of the microservice registry can be used for determining the microservice information based on the microservice request, leading to a low latency and a fast response time. At the same time each microservice registry can be used as a fallback for all other microservice registries.
