Hyperledger Manufacturing SIG 

(other suggestions Hyperledger Industrial Internet Special Interest Group , or Hyperledger Industrial SIG)

Introduction

...

Industrial digital transformation is a key challenge and opportunity  for countries around the world. Although technological approaches and implementations may vary from economy to economy, the core focus of industrial digital transformation is to combine emerging ICT technology with traditional technologies and link areas such as production and logistics to provide new drivers for the development of traditional industries. 

...

Blockchain technology, as a product of the integration of digital encryption technology, network technology, computing technology and other information technology, involves multiple parties and features immutability, transparency and traceability. It works as an excellent solution to multiple problems in industrial digital transformation.当前，区块链技术在全球范围内已经深入到工业领域的生产、仓储、物流、销售、金融等诸多方面，也涌现出了包括生产链条的监控、供应链管理、设备及仓储管理、产品追溯、融资等在内的众多典型应用场景和成功应用案例，助力工业的数字化转型。但是，目前“工业+区块链”的应用大都是个别公司的个性化探索，尚未有比较系统的架构总结，也没有相关协议、标准的出现；同时，工业发展历史悠久、门类众多等特点导致了其在互联互通中面临标识异构、数据异构等众多的问题，如何实现不同工业区块链系统间的异构数据交互及互操作的问题，如何建立统一的标识体系，进而如何搭建一个实现工业区块链间互联互通的基础设施，是非常值得探讨的问题。

Currently, blockchain technology has been applied to many aspects of industry, such as production, storage, logistics, sales and finance. Many application scenarios and successful application cases have emerged, including production chain monitoring, supply chain management, equipment and storage management, product tracing and financing, all of which promote industrial digital transformation. However, the current applications of "industry + blockchain" are mostly being explored by  individual companies. There has not yet been development and use of  systematic architecture and relevant agreements and standards are yet to emerge. 

At the same time, the long history of industrial development with numerous sectors has caused problems with interconnection, such as with heterogeneous identifiers and data. How to realize heterogeneous data interaction and interoperability between different industrial blockchain systems, how to establish a unified identifier system, and how to build an infrastructure that realizes the interconnection and interoperability of industrial blockchain are issues that need discussion and collaboration.因此需要发起成立工业兴趣组，作为工业界与区块链产业界的桥梁，为工业领域的区块链探索提供一个展示的平台，同时也能够聚集各方力量，共同研究区块链在工业各流程、各细分行业中的融合形式，总结典型应用场景，进而推动标准及应用原型项目等方面的工作。在此基础上，针对工业领域跨主体互联互通难的问题，研究工业区块链体系化应用中的通用基础设施构建问题，并探索可行的参考架构。

Given the factors mentioned above, it would be of great benefit to establish the Hyperledger (Name to be confirmed) SIG to serve as a bridge between manufacturing and related industries and the blockchain industry, and provide a platform to explore industrial blockchain. The SIG could help different parties work together to study options for the integration of blockchain in various industrial processes and sub-sectors, summarize typical application scenarios, and promote standard-setting and application projects. Based on this, the SIG would study the development of a universal infrastructure in the systematic application of industrial blockchain in response to the difficulty of cross-subject interconnection in the industrial sector, and explore a feasible reference architecture.因此我们认为在全球领先的区块链开源组织Hyperledger下建立专门针对工业+区块链的兴趣组是非常有意义的以及必要的。

Therefore, we believe that it is meaningful and necessary to establish a SIG dedicated to “industry + blockchain” under Hyperledger, the world's leading open source blockchain organization.

...

This SIG will collaborate with other Hyperledger groups, Linux Foundation Open Source Networking, other non-profit blockchain and industrial organizations such as Alliance of Blockchain Industry, Z-park (ABI) and Alliance of Industrial Internet (AII).
