Rank-Produce

2nd Place Winner at IOT & Security Blockchain Hackathon #T-LabsHACK @Create33 in Seattle

Inspiration

Each year, there are over 48 million people who experience symptoms from foodborne illnesses. In fact, over deaths due to foodborne illnesses. At Rank Produce, we believe that this is one of the major problems within our society. Food is a crucial aspect of our society. It is unacceptable that 5,000 people die each year from performing a necessary action of life.

What it does

Rank Produce allow consumers to search the history timeline of any produce. It's a simple as downloading the app and scanning the UPC barcode of produce. This simple app will change your life.

How we built it

Rank Produce as built as an Android app which uses Block chaining Technology (hashstaX)to it's advantage. Block chaining technology allows rank produce to ensure security and accurate information.

Challenges we ran into

While building this app, we encountered many problems including setting up and implementing block chaining technology

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to provide a simple, but yet internally complex solution to allow everyone to ensure their own food safety.

What we learned

Though creating this app, we have learned a lot out implementing blockchaining and hashstaX. This knowledge has allowed us to grow significantly.

Rank Produce is happy and excited to provide the public with such an amazing app!

This hackathon was held from October 27th 2018 to October 28th 2018 at Create33 in Seattle by The Blockchain Society and Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T- Labs).
