For decades, CAD and PLM companies have perpetuated the myth of a Digital Thread that delivers a closed-loop digital utopia. This has lead most manufacturers to overlook the fact that these digital threads only connect systems and machines, not people and the work they do every day. Product data resides in siloed systems and proprietary formats, forcing engineering and technical teams to manually package, share and update data from one or more specialized systems. This is not a closed-loop utopia. This is a human-powered digital thread. This risks missed product delivery targets, higher scrap and rework rates, lower product quality, and a variety of unplanned manufacturing costs.
This video presentation replay was originally delivered at 3D Collaboration and Interoperability Congress (3D CIC) and will show you how manufacturers are overcoming the digital thread myth with better collaboration.
