Razorleaf is proud to support the 2025 Global Product Data Interoperability Summit (GPDIS) as a Silver Sponsor. The twelfth annual event, taking place September 23-25 in Phoenix, Arizona, is an opportunity for representatives of industry, academia, standards bodies, and more to come together and share key insights on the topic of the digital thread for manufacturing.
What is the event?
A three-day gathering of like-minded industry principals, GPDIS acts as a hub for knowledge-sharing and the open exchange of ideas, solutions, and methods. It facilitates consensus-building on data, tool, and process standards by experienced industry professionals. Uniquely among such events, its attendees represent the core data representations and delivery systems that drive manufacturing and supporting industries.
What’s the theme this year?
The 2025 GPDIS theme is “The Digital Thread for Manufacturing: Digitally Transformed or a Work in Progress?” Sessions and presentations will highlight how the digital twin and digital thread have emerged as key value propositions to streamline transactions and accelerate recovery from the disruption of changing manufacturing conditions and supply chain instability. They will also cover the digital thread, practical applications of linked data, and data’s relationship to other product lifecycle domains—with a focus on manufacturing and the factory.
Where to find Razorleaf?
Razorleaf will be found at Booth 12, demonstrating our technologies and success stories. In addition, as a Silver Sponsor, Razorleaf will also be presenting a special session. Our Chief Architect Jonathan Scott will share his insight on the value of integrating MBSE tools as the heart of a digital engineering strategy during his presentation, “Integrating MBSE Tools with PLM, MES, and ERP Systems: The Missing Dimension of Your Digital Engineering Strategy.”
Jonathan will explain how MBSE goes beyond being a framework for modeling complex systems, realizing its full potential when aligned with manufacturing and business systems. Integrating those with MBSE ensures seamless data flow, linking engineering decisions to manufacturing and business goals. This type of integration adds a missing viewpoint, and set of capabilities, between engineering, production, and operations, driving more efficient and agile programs—and positions companies for success in a changing marketplace.
Who attends?
Attendees possess interest and expertise in areas such as Model Based Engineering (MBE), Emergent Technologies/Industry Transformation (ET/IT), Digital Twin/Digital Thread/Digital Engineering (DT3), Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), PLM Executive, Standards, and more. The event is vendor-neutral, but solutions providers are encouraged to share their experience and offerings. Attendee experience ranges from the vendor community, through large OEMs, active lower-tier suppliers, to family manufacturing businesses.
