Abstract

The problem I intend to address in my PhD research is related to the application of DLTs in resource-constrained industrial environments. Could it be feasible and effective to design a holistic multi-DLT architecture in order to tackle most of the challenges that are encountered when applying DLTs in IIoT? Here I present a multi-DLT architecture for an Industry 4.0 case scenario where I try to tackle the limitations of DLTs for every level of the aforementioned scenario.
