Providing an equipment manufacture supporting technique in which a plurality of departments that cooperate with one another can unify management of components constituting equipment. An equipment manufacture supporting apparatus including: a component information receiving unit that receives discrimination information and image information of each of components constituting equipment; an electronic code giving unit that gives an electronic code corresponding to the discrimination information; a component information registering unit that links and registers mutually connected components; an image receiving unit that receives imaged data of a plurality of components mounted on the equipment; an electronic code recognizing unit that recognizes the electronic codes respectively marked on the plurality of components, from the imaged data; and a connection determining unit that determines whether a connection relation of the plurality of components mounted on the equipment is right or wrong, on a basis of the electronic codes recognized from the imaged data.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for managing an IoT device. The method includes: acquiring device information and logic information of the IoT device, wherein the logic information is intended to indicate a logical attribute of the IoT device; generating a tree topology based on the device information and the logic information of the IoT device, wherein the tree topology comprises at least two layers of asset nodes, leaf nodes of the at least two layers of asset nodes being device asset nodes, non-leaf nodes being the device asset nodes or logical asset nodes, the device asset node corresponding to the IoT device, and the logical asset node corresponding to the logical attribute of the IoT device; and acquiring an ordered tree topology by sorting asset nodes in a same hierarchy in the tree topology.

Blockchain-enabled industrial devices and associated systems are configured to support the use of industrial blockchains in connection with product and machine tracking, subscription-based industrial services, device lifecycle management, and other functions. Collections of industrial devices can collectively serve as an industrial blockchain system, with multiple such systems within a supply chain yielding an industrial blockchain ecosystem. This architecture can create distributed, decentralized, tamper-proof records of manufacturing statistics for a product, a product's history within the larger supply chain, industrial asset usage histories that can be leveraged in connection with lifecycle management, machine usage history for use in connection with subscription-based machine operation, and other such information. The blockchain-enabled industrial devices can be configured to generate multiple versions of a product or machine's blockchain having respective different access permissions, allowing public and private industrial data to be segregated between public and private industrial blockchains.
