Key Technology Capabilities for a Supply Chain Control Tower

Supply chain control towers have emerged as critical digital infrastructure for pharmaceutical companies seeking end-to-end visibility, real-time monitoring, and predictive decision-making capabilities across increasingly complex global networks. This chapter examines the key technology capabilities that enable effective pharmaceutical supply chain control tower implementation, including Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for real-time tracking, artificial intelligence and machine learning for predictive analytics and demand forecasting, blockchain platforms for drug traceability and authentication, digital twin technologies for supply chain simulation and scenario planning, cloud computing infrastructure for scalable data processing and storage, and advanced data integration frameworks connecting disparate systems.
