本次合作将区块链技术应用于食品可追溯性，以支持离线和在线客户

BEIJING - 14 Dec 2017: Walmart (NYSE: WMT), JD.com (NASDAQ: JD), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Tsinghua University National Engineering Laboratory for E-Commerce Technologies announced today they will work together in a Blockchain Food Safety Alliance that will kick off with a collaboration designed to enhance food tracking, traceability and safety in China,  to achieve greater transparency across the food supply chain.

沃尔玛（纽约证券交易所代码：WMT），

京东（纳斯达克股票代码：JD），

IBM（纽约证券交易所代码：IBM）以及

清华大学电子商务技术国家工程实验室

于今天宣布，他们将在区块链食品 安全联盟将启动一项旨在加强中国食品追踪，可追溯性和安全性的合作，以提高食品供应链的透明度。

The four companies will work together to create a standards-based method of collecting data about the origin, safety and authenticity of food, using blockchain technology to provide real-time traceability throughout the supply chain. This will encourage accountability and give suppliers, regulators and consumers greater insight and transparency into how food is handled, from the farm to consumers. This has traditionally been challenging due to complex and fragmented data sharing systems that are often paper-based and can be error-prone.

四家公司将共同合作，通过区块链技术为整个供应链提供实时可追溯性，从而建立一个基于标准的方法，收集有关食品来源，安全性和真实性的数据。 这将鼓励问责制，并为供应商，监管机构和消费者提供更多的洞察力和透明度，从食品农场到消费者如何处理食品。 传统上，由于复杂和分散的数据共享系统，这些系统通常是基于纸张的并且容易出错，因此这一直具有挑战性。

Walmart, JD, IBM and Tsinghua University will work with food supply chain providers and regulators to develop the standards, solutions and partnerships to enable a broad-based food safety ecosystem in China. IBM will provide its IBM Blockchain Platform and expertise, while Tsinghua University will act as a technical advisor sharing its expertise in the key technologies and the China food safety ecosystem. IBM and Tsinghua will collaborate with Walmart and JD to develop, optimize and roll out the technology to suppliers and retailers that join the alliance.

沃尔玛，京东，IBM和清华大学将与食品供应链提供商和监管机构合作，共同制定标准，解决方案和合作伙伴关系，以推动中国基础广泛的食品安全生态系统。 IBM将提供其IBM Blockchain平台和专业知识，而清华大学将担任技术顾问，分享其在关键技术和中国食品安全生态系统方面的专业知识。 IBM和清华将与沃尔玛和JD合作开发，优化和推广加入联盟的供应商和零售商的技术。

As a world leader in global food safety, Walmart works closely with suppliers, regulators, industry partners and the research community around the world. In China, it invests heavily in food safety research through the Walmart Food Safety and Collaboration Center and has promoted food safety, both through its own supplier network, as well as working with JD, which has rich omni-channel food supply chain management experience. The two have been able to leverage JD’s expertise in the application of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, big data and other new technologies to protect consumers.

作为全球食品安全领域的全球领导者，沃尔玛与世界各地的供应商，监管机构，行业合作伙伴和研究机构密切合作。 在中国，沃尔玛通过沃尔玛食品安全与合作中心大力投资于食品安全研究，并通过自身的供应商网络促进食品安全，并与拥有丰富全渠道食品供应链管理经验的JD合作。 这两家公司已经能够利用JD在应用人工智能（AI），区块链，大数据和其他新技术方面的专业知识来保护消费者。

Following IBM and Walmart's announcement in August of a new consortium to enhance food safety, this collaboration brings IBM’s blockchain food safety expertise to China. IBM, Walmart and Tsinghua University have piloted the use of blockchain to trace food items, including pork in China and mangoes in the U.S., as they move through the supply chain to store shelves. Recent testing by Walmart showed that applying blockchain reduced the time it took to trace a package of mangoes from the farm to the store from days or weeks to two seconds.

继IBM和沃尔玛8月份宣布一个新的财团加强食品安全之后，此次合作将IBM区块链食品安全专业知识带入中国。 IBM，沃尔玛和清华大学试图利用区块链追踪食品，包括中国的猪肉和美国的芒果，因为他们在供应链上移动以存放货架。 沃尔玛最近的测试表明，应用区块链减少了从农场到商店追踪一包芒果的时间，从几天到几星期到两秒。

“As a global advocate for enhanced food safety, Walmart looks forward to deepening our work with IBM, Tsinghua University, JD and others throughout the food supply chain. Through collaboration, standardization, and adoption of new and innovative technologies, we can effectively improve traceability and transparency and help ensure the global food system remains safe for all,” said Frank Yiannas, vice president, food safety and health at Walmart.

“作为提高食品安全性的全球倡导者，沃尔玛期待着深化与IBM，清华大学，法学博士等食品供应链的合作。 通过协作，标准化和采用新型创新技术，我们可以有效提高可追溯性和透明度，并确保全球食品系统对所有人都安全，“沃尔玛食品安全与健康副总裁Frank Yiannas说。

“Partnering with IBM, Tsinghua University and Walmart, all global leaders in traceability, gives our customers and partner brands unparalleled accountability,” said Yongli Yu, President of JD-Y, JD.com’s supply chain research unit. “Throughout the world, and particularly in China, consumers increasingly want to know how their food is sourced, and JD is dedicated to using technology to promote complete transparency.”

“与IBM，清华大学和沃尔玛合作，所有全球领先的可追溯性，为我们的客户和合作伙伴品牌提供了无与伦比的责任心，”JD公司供应链研究部门JD-Y总裁Yongli Yu表示。 “在全世界，特别是在中国，消费者越来越想知道他们的食物来源，而JD致力于利用技术来促进完全透明。”

“Blockchain holds incredible promise in delivering the transparency that is needed to help promote food safety across the whole supply chain. This is a fundamental reason why IBM believes so strongly in the impact this technology will have on business models,” said Bridget van Kralingen, senior vice president, IBM Industry Platforms. “By expanding our food safety work with Walmart and Tsinghua University in China and adding new collaborators like JD.com, the technology brings traceability and transparency to a broader network of food supply chain participants.”

“区块链在提供帮助促进整个供应链食品安全所需的透明度方面拥有令人难以置信的承诺。 这是IBM为什么如此强烈地相信这项技术将对商业模式产生影响的根本原因，“IBM工业平台高级副总裁Bridget van Kralingen说。 “通过扩大与沃尔玛和中国清华大学的食品安全工作，并增加JD.com等新合作者，该技术为更广泛的食品供应链参与者网络带来了可追溯性和透明度。”

“Tsinghua University is committed to in-depth research into food safety –one of the most important areas for improving quality of life in China and also around the world. We have already been working with IBM and Walmart to create a new model for food traceability, using blockchain to support supply chain transparency and auditability, and we see this new cooperation as an important next step in this endeavour,” said Professor Yueting Chai from the National Engineering Laboratory for E-Commerce Technologies, Tsinghua University.

“清华大学致力于深入研究食品安全 - 这是中国乃至全世界提高生活质量的重要领域之一。 我们已经与IBM和沃尔玛合作，为食品可追溯性创建了一个新模型，利用区块链支持供应链的透明度和可审计性，我们认为这种新的合作是这一努力的下一个重要步骤。“ 清华大学电子商务技术国家工程实验室。

The collaboration is designed to help ensure brand owners’ data privacy while helping them integrate their online and offline traceability for food safety and quality management channels. Companies that join the alliance will be able to share information using blockchain technology, and plans include them being able to choose the standards-based traceability solution that best suits their needs and legacy systems. This will in turn bring greater transparency to the supply chain and introduce new technologies to the retail sector designed to create a safer food environment and enhance the consumer experience.

该合作旨在帮助确保品牌所有者的数据隐私，同时帮助他们整合其食品安全和质量管理渠道的在线和离线追溯。 加入该联盟的公司将能够使用区块链技术共享信息，并且计划包括能够选择最适合其需求的基于标准的可追溯性解决方案和遗留系统。 这将进一步提高供应链的透明度，并向零售行业引入新技术，旨在创造更安全的食品环境并提升消费者体验。

The insights gained from the work in China will shed light on how blockchain technology can help improve processes such as recalls and verifications and enhance consumer confidence due to greater transparency in China and around the world. 

从中国工作中获得的见解将揭示区块链技术如何帮助改进召回和验证等流程，并增强消费者信心，因为中国和全球的透明度更高。
