Survey Paper on: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain to Enhance Supply Chain Management for a Ganapati Idol Selling Platform

Abstract

This study introduces a new digital platform that is focused on enhancing customer engagement in the retailing of the Ganesh idol. It integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, and blockchain into a single online platform. The website would provide an engaging shopping experience for customers. For instance, buyers can interact with AR-based 3D models that can help preview, customize, and evaluate idol designs in detail prior to purchase. The aim is to go beyond mere conventional e-commerce models and create a more personalized and interactive marketplace driven by modern digital technologies.

To implement this, we use computer vision, deep learning models, and generative models like Semantic Segmentation. These methods provide clear visualizations and tailored customizations. In contrast, traditional methods may be restricted when processing images or using predictive models such as LSTM, ARIMA, and GRU. These techniques have difficulty with dynamic user edits/changes or detailed artistic features. Semantic Segmentation combined with AR tools can facilitate real-time customization and realistic design previews, while blockchain-based smart contracts preserve the integrity of every transaction in a secure, open, and tamper-proof environment, furthering trust and accountability at every point in the supply chain.

Moreover, the study shows that by integrating deep learning methods with AR-enabled 3D visualization, customers can participate in design-related activities. They can personalize features based on their preferences. Utilizing blockchain for safe and traceable exchanges, the system establishes a sound, adaptable, and transparent structure. This renovates not only the supply chain but also upgrades the overall e-commerce.
