Digital Thread
A Digital Thread is a data-driven framework that connects information generated across the entire lifecycle of a physical asset, from design and manufacturing to operation, maintenance, and decommissioning. It enables the seamless flow of structured data between systems, departments, and stakeholders, creating a unified and traceable record of the asset’s evolution.
The Digital Thread supports real-time decision-making, predictive maintenance, and system-wide optimisation by linking digital representations (such as CAD models, simulation results, sensor data, and service records) in a consistent and accessible manner.
It plays a crucial role in Digital Twin implementations, Industry 4.0 strategies, and integrated asset lifecycle management, ensuring transparency, traceability, and data integrity across complex industrial ecosystems.
