Dear readers! We are pleased to present to you the eleventh issue of the journal in 2025. There are a lot of relevant and useful materials in the issue, which, hopefully, will not be ignored.
Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Annotation. The article describes a new concept of control and monitoring of processes in the supply chains «Control Tower – CT». Proved the relevance of the application of this concept / technology, primarily for the monitoring of logistics business processes and risk management. The history of the development and development of the CT technology is analyzed, and typical solutions are indicated as part of the application of the main «Supply Chain Control Tower» model of various versions. It is shown that the basis for building an effective is the digital transformation of the supply chain. The functionality of modern versions of the Control Tower (SCСТ 3.0-4.0) was considered and an adequate supply chain monitoring system was proposed using the digital model Control Tower. The basic principles of building an effective monitoring system based on the SCST are described. A scheme for CT monitoring of supply chain stocks in real time using digital technology «Internet of Things» (IoT) has been proposed. Key benefits of using Control Tower technology in controlling and monitoring business processes in supply chains are formulated.
Key words. Supply chain, Control Tower, monitoring, visibility, blockchain, Multi-party Network, Internet of Things.
