Is Digital Thread Doomed Without Open Architecture?

11th May 2021

The digital thread is designed to track every process through a product’s life from initial development, manufacturing, servitization and is the ultimate communicative framework for collaboration. They need a continuous information flow and are only as powerful as their data connections.   Without a successful digital thread, MBSE and real time analysis is not possible.

Across organisations and their supply chains, IT architectures must integrate data from systems usually customised by role, product, vendor or organisation. This drastically hampers the ability to integrate and share data in real time- massively obstructing the digital thread.

This spotlight will explore how organisations are tackling integration and data flow challenges. We will debate how to develop multi viewpoints, tool linkages and move towards an open source architecture approach.
