Digital twins are helping manufacturers and engineering organizations solve a variety of problems. They are virtual representations of physical products, processes, people, or places that mirror their real counterparts. Digital twin strategies are helping unlock potential in supply chains, speed up time to market, and cut costs. Here are the top 5 benefits of […]
A digital thread for engineering supports product development from beginning to end. It helps ensure teams work on the same information to improve collaboration and consistency across products. When it comes to the digital thread for engineering, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. […]
Product lifecycle management solutions act as the single source of truth for all product data within enterprise manufacturing organizations. This single source of truth is now critical because product development has become increasingly complicated […]
The digital thread has become a widely discussed concept in the manufacturing industry. According to a PTC report, 94% of industry leaders said they were in the planning stages of implementing a digital thread, and 67% of companies had gotten a start on their digital thread projects in the last two years. This […]
Manufacturers today require optimized operations to stay competitive. For many, this means implementing new tools or better leveraging the ones they have for improved communication and collaboration—especially as product variations and […]
We hear a lot about the digital thread in manufacturing, but it isn’t always clear exactly what is meant by the term, why it’s important, or even how it came to pass. Here’s a primer with everything you need to know about the evolution and importance of the digital thread in manufacturing. […]
When it comes to PLM vs. PDM, many people are confused. Some assume the acronyms are simply different names for the same thing—but they serve very different functions. Here’s how to understand the differences and decide which one to choose when it comes to PLM vs. PDM. […]
PLM should be the backbone of your company’s digital transformation since it’s nearly impossible to implement a comprehensive digital thread without PLM. And because effective PLM touches every part of the organization, your PLM change management […]
PLM implementation may be one of the most strategic projects facing your organization over the next few years. PLM is the cornerstone of the digital thread, and it has become a vital component of the digital transformation of every modern manufacturer. […]
Along with everyone else in the manufacturing industry, we’ve been talking a lot about model-based manufacturing, also known as MBM, and the benefits the methodology brings to companies that adopt it. Essentially, model-based manufacturing takes model-based definition, also known as model-based engineering, one step further. […]
