Companies around the world and across industries are increasingly undergoing digital transformation to better meet today’s challenges. The aerospace and defense industries are no different. While companies currently are focusing these efforts on product development, at Siemens we believe that the strongest value comes from implementing a digital thread. While still in its infancy, this concept can provide a strong competitive advantage.

What is a digital thread in aerospace engineering?

While there’s not a commonly accepted definition of digital thread, at Siemens we consider the digital thread as a roadmap of industry-specific business workflows. The aerospace digital thread digitally connects all tasks and processes in the value chain based on the challenges to be solved, connecting capabilities throughout the lifecycle of a product.

What are the benefits of implementing a digital thread?

A digital thread provides the foundation for digital transformation. The digital thread also establishes traceability of product information across multiple domains. By implementing a digital thread, operations can be optimized while also rapidly adapting to change, enabling products to be delivered faster and at a lower cost.
