The issues of macro-level monitoring for the manufacturing system in the implementation of the concepts of Industry 4.0 and 5.0 based on the study of information flows in manufacturing network structures are considered. The numerical models of three types of network interaction, that taking into account the influence of the number of objects, external influences, and the interaction rules, are investigated. We present the results of numerical experiments using the proposed models, allowing analyzing the characteristics of network activity for different values of the model parameters. They include the occurrence of instabilities, competition of types of network activity, the influence of randomness, transient processes when changing external influences, and others. The main mechanisms for ensuring stability in network structures are considered. We discuss the recommendations for using information flow monitoring in tasks of ensuring stability of network manufacturing structures.
