In the ever-evolving landscape of engineering environments, the need for efficient

and secure data management is paramount. This paper explores the transformative
potential of blockchain technology in the storage and processing of data within
engineering contexts. The decentralized and tamper-resistant nature of blockchain
presents a promising solution to address challenges such as data integrity, security,
and real-time processing. Drawing on the principles of blockchain, this research
investigates its application to revolutionize data management practices in
engineering, ensuring not only the reliability of information but also facilitating
seamless processing and accessibility. Through case studies and comparative
analyses, the paper aims to demonstrate the advantages of blockchain in enhancing
the overall efficiency and effectiveness of data workflows in engineering domains.

Comparative analysis
According to the both author they have done their research on use of blockchain
technology to store and process data. In the first paper, result shows issues in data
storage and communication in network 4.0 environment, emphasizing low
integrity, high cost and easy tampering. Proposes a secure data storage and
recovery scheme using blockchain with an emphasis on decentralization,
tampering-proofing, and real-time monitoring. Targets industrial nodes and cloud
storage systems, aiming to improve repair rates and data storage efficiency.
Reports improved repair rates of multi-node data and increased data storage rates,
demonstrating promising security and real-time performance. Has a more industry-
centric focus, addressing specific challenges in network 4.0 environments.

In the second paper, author targets the protection of original achievements in the
knowledge driven economy, focusing on challenges in ownership determination,
transaction traceability and reward standardization. Introduces a blockchain-
supported traceability system leveraging distributed data storage, peer-to-peer
transmission, consensus mechanisms, and encryption algorithms. Primarily focuses
on intellectual property protection, providing traceability for patents and
copyrights. Conducts simulation experiments validating the effectiveness and
robustness of the proposed traceability system, with advantages over other
methods. Has broader implications for intellectual property protection, extending
its reach to patents and copyrights.
Both papers leverage blockchain technology for their proposed solutions,
showcasing its versatility beyond traditional applications.
Both papers highlight the potential of blockchain technology in addressing current
challenges and suggest future applications in their respective domains.
