 What Is the Digital Thread?

Think of the digital thread as a continuous flow of data that connects every phase of a product’s lifecycle—from concept and design to manufacturing, service, and disposal. It links systems like PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems), and IoT platforms into a unified digital ecosystem.
