Before we talk about digital twins, we need to understand the Industry 4.0 concept that supports them: the digital thread. Systems integrator and consulting firm Razorleaf describes the digital thread as a set of connected records capturing the data and activities that define a product, or in some cases, a process. The first of these—the data—refers to the requirements, models, drawings, specifications, bills of material (BOMs), analyses and product manufacturing information (PMI) used to produce a manufactured good.

Product Lifecycle Management can be tailored to accommodate any workflow and most organizations - but without a detailed picture of how to optimize PLM gains, many companies will be overwhelmed by the complexity. Read Derek Neiding's byline on PLM roadmaps in American Machinist.

Silicon Valley-based Hawk Ridge Systems, a provider of 3D design, manufacturing and 3D printing customer solutions, has partnered with Razorleaf, a consulting and systems integrator for Product Lifecycle Management, to strategically deliver high-quality services and support for Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE implementations.

A manufacturing closed-loop digital twin can use analytics and data to cut costs and avoid unplanned downtime. Razorleaf's Jonathan Scott discusses the challenges of summarizing and normalizing data used in characterizing the digital twin.

Twin technology can aid product designers in pulling out vital information from both domains to improve development and production.
