Use Cases
Government & National Security
Government operations depend on verified, trustworthy components across diverse mission-critical supply chains. Traditional part and assembly design reviews are often slow, manual, and error-prone.
​Our PARTS App digitizes and standardizes these reviews, empowering Quality Engineers to streamline workflows, reduce travel, and focus on critical issues.
Built on PCN’s NIST-compliant, FedRAMP-authorized cloud platform (Q3 2025 planned launch), the solution ensures secure, compliant data sharing only with authorized stakeholders.
Workforce Credentialing
Healthcare systems rely on verified, up-to-date credentials to deliver safe, compliant patient care. Traditional credentialing processes are manual, fragmented, and vulnerable to error–slowing onboarding and increasing regulatory risk.
​
Credexa™ securely digitizes and verifies employee credentials, enabling HR and compliance teams to streamline onboarding, reduce paperwork, and ensure staff are always cleared to work.
​
Automated verification processes and real-time tracking allow authorized stakeholders to efficiently manage workforce credentials, flag expirations or discrepancies, and maintain accurate up-to-date records.
​
By modernizing credential management, PCN reduces administrative burden, mitigates risk, and builds trusted, compliant workforces—strengthening confidence across your entire operation.
Microelectronics & Semiconductors
As technology advances, chip platforms will grow in complexity and global interdependence. The microchips and semiconductor industry requires more innovation, security, and dynamic collaboration. Companies will need automated ways to selectively share the right data and with the right people.
​
Recognizing these challenges, microelectronics industry leaders have been pioneering machine-readable Electronic Data Sheets (EDS), guided by international standards efforts. The PCN’s platform is collaborating with EDS innovators and building on the work funded by NIST’s CHIPS R&D initiatives to introduce key interoperability capabilities. These PCN-enabled EDS tools streamline compliance checks, reduce costly design rework, and improve integration across OEMs, suppliers, and design partners.
​
To protect sensitive IP and facilitate cooperation, PCN supports IP owners to ensure that the right people or companies have access to the appropriate data–even among organizations without a prior relationship. Additionally, PCN supports secure, verifiable workforce credentials that simplify hiring and compliance, especially in roles involving visas, security clearance, or NIST-aligned metrology expertise.
​
Together, these capabilities are helping build a trusted, standards-driven semiconductor ecosystem designed to keep pace with innovation.
Consumer Packaged Goods
Today’s consumers demand to know where their products come from, and expect transparency around sustainability, health, and ethical claims.
​
PCN’s platform, used by brands like Tillamook, Wagyu beef and A to Z Wineworks, builds trust by digitizing and verifying every step of the supply chain, from raw materials to final distribution. Companies can proactively manage food safety risks, support sustainability claims, and ensure regulatory compliance with tamper-evident, verifiable records.
​
In a pilot with Tillamook, PCN enabled full traceability of raw milk from farm to processing—enhancing transparency, audit readiness, and consumer confidence.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property (IP) is a leaky bucket—traditional "belt and suspenders" methods not only fail to protect intellectual property, but also contribute to systemic weaknesses. Companies and their trading partners face increasing challenges from fragmented ecosystems, data silos, security gaps, and inefficient manual processes. The result is diminished collaboration, compliance difficulties, wasted data assets, and heightened exposure to counterfeits and supply chain risks.
PCN directly addresses this landscape by delivering a secure, standardized, AI-enabled platform for IP and data management. Its architecture enables selective data sharing, robust traceability, and trusted collaboration—empowering organizations to control access, record and track usage, and adapt to changing operational or regulatory requirements.
By supporting risk mitigation and key workflow automation, PCN transforms IP from a point of vulnerability into a strategic asset. Organizations benefit from improved trust, faster collaboration, and sustained value generation through a secure, standards-based exchange of data and permissions.
