You could accomplish the same thing with PKI, any particular reason why you'd use blockchain?

A friend actually built it but from my understanding, it is built for when IoT devices needed to share data outside their internal business. For example, an IoT device in a container gets moved from a warehouse to a 3rd party trucking company. The trucking has an IOT device and the two devices transmit data between them and some get sent back to a database. I may not be doing this justice.

Yeah, PKI would work in that case too. Bring your friend into the thread!
