MANUFACTURING SYSTEM USING NFTS AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

1 . A method for use with a non-fungible token (NFT) platform that includes a processor and a memory, the method comprising:

receiving NFT data and NFT metadata associated with a manufacturing system, wherein the NFT metadata includes conditions data associated with use conditions; and

facilitating, based on the NFT data and the NFT metadata, generation of an NFT associated with the manufacturing system;

wherein the manufacturing system enables manufacture of at least one manufactured item via the manufacturing system when the use conditions are met.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the conditions data is further associated with non-use conditions; and

wherein the manufacturing system prevents manufacture of at least one other manufactured item via the manufacturing system when the non-use conditions are met.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving a request to manufacture at least one manufactured item via the manufacturing system;

determining when the NFT is not validated;

wherein the manufacturing system prevents manufacture of the at least one manufactured item when the NFT is not validated.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein determining when the NFT is not validated includes:

generating launch metadata associated with the request to manufacture;

sending the launch metadata to a wallet associated with the manufacturing system, the wallet containing a private key associated with the NFT;

receiving, from the wallet, a launch response that is generated based on the private key;

generating, based on the launch response, ownership check data;

sending the ownership check data to a blockchain system that stores the NFT; and

receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response; and

determining the NFT is not validated when the ownership validation response does not indicate a validation of the NFT.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request to manufacture at least one manufactured item via the manufacturing system;

determining when the NFT is validated;

wherein the manufacturing system enables manufacture of the at least one manufactured item when the NFT is validated.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein determining when the NFT is validated includes:

generating launch metadata associated with the request to manufacture;

sending the launch metadata to a wallet associated with the manufacturing system, the wallet containing a private key associated with the NFT;

receiving, from the wallet, a launch response that is generated based on the private key;

generating, based on the launch response, ownership check data;

sending the ownership check data to a blockchain system that stores the NFT; and

receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response; and

determining the NFT is validated when the ownership validation response indicates validation of the NFT.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, via the manufacturing system, use data associated with manufacture of the at least one manufactured item; and

facilitating an update to the NFT based on the use data.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

determining when the use data indicates a use limitation associated with the NFT has been reached;

wherein the update to the NFT includes expiring the NFT when the use limitation associated with the NFT has been reached.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating time data; and

facilitating an update to the NFT associated with the manufacturing system based on the time data.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining when the time data indicates a time limitation associated with the NFT has been reached;

wherein the update to the NFT includes expiring the NFT when the time limitation associated with the NFT has been reached.

11 . A system comprises:

a network interface configured to communicate via a network;

a processor;

a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that stores operational instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations that include:

receiving NFT data and NFT metadata associated with a manufacturing system, wherein the NFT metadata includes conditions data associated with use conditions; and

facilitating, based on the NFT data and the NFT metadata, generation of an NFT associated with the manufacturing system;

wherein the manufacturing system enables manufacture of at least one manufactured item via the manufacturing system when the use conditions are met.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the conditions data is further associated with non-use conditions; and

wherein the manufacturing system prevents manufacture of at least one other manufactured item via the manufacturing system when the non-use conditions are met.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the operations further include:

receiving a request to manufacture at least one manufactured item via the manufacturing system;

determining when the NFT is not validated;

wherein the manufacturing system prevents manufacture of the at least one manufactured item when the NFT is not validated.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein determining when the NFT is not validated includes:

generating launch metadata associated with the request to manufacture;

sending the launch metadata to a wallet associated with the manufacturing system, the wallet containing a private key associated with the NFT;

receiving, from the wallet, a launch response that is generated based on the private key;

generating, based on the launch response, ownership check data;

sending the ownership check data to a blockchain system that stores the NFT; and

receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response; and

determining the NFT is not validated when the ownership validation response does not indicate a validation of the NFT.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:

receiving a request to manufacture at least one manufactured item via the manufacturing system;

determining when the NFT is validated;

wherein the manufacturing system enables manufacture of the at least one manufactured item when the NFT is validated.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein determining when the NFT is validated includes:

generating launch metadata associated with the request to manufacture;

sending the launch metadata to a wallet associated with the manufacturing system, the wallet containing a private key associated with the NFT;

receiving, from the wallet, a launch response that is generated based on the private key;

generating, based on the launch response, ownership check data;

sending the ownership check data to a blockchain system that stores the NFT; and

receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response; and

determining the NFT is validated when the ownership validation response indicates validation of the NFT.

17 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:

generating, via the manufacturing system, use data associated with manufacture of the at least one manufactured item; and

facilitating an update to the NFT based on the use data.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the operations further include:

determining when the use data indicates a use limitation associated with the NFT has been reached;

wherein the update to the NFT includes expiring the NFT when the use limitation associated with the NFT has been reached.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the operations further include:

generating time data; and

facilitating an update to the NFT associated with the manufacturing system based on the time data.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the operations further include:

determining when the time data indicates a time limitation associated with the NFT has been reached;

wherein the update to the NFT includes expiring the NFT when the time limitation associated with the NFT has been reached.
