SE1356P - Benefits of the Digital Thread for Service

A digital thread creates a closed loop between the digital and physical worlds, transforming how products are engineered, manufactured, and serviced. In this session, you will learn how Arbortext, PTC's industry-leading Technical Information Management and Delivery solution, strengthens the digital thread by creating a single flow of data and resources that will enable the linking of content all the way out to someone in the field. For example, starting from the source in engineering CAD data or bill of materials (BOM), as that information flows through the business process, it will be available to those creating technical information or service content.

PL1896B - Your Digital Thread: A Practitioner's Guide To Building On Today's Base

Organizations strive to accelerate market entry, minimize waste and expenses, enhance operational efficiency, and improve communication between various components and product lines. They must adapt to product and operational changes, trace product evolution, manage aftermarket operations, and use customer feedback to improve offerings. A digital thread enables seamless data exchange across the ecosystem. However, the sheer scale of implementing a digital thread can cause inertia, negatively impacting competitiveness and financial performance. LTTS, with extensive experience in product organizations and customer engagements, aims to demystify the concept and provide a methodical approach to building a digital thread, regardless of existing building blocks.
