This white paper reveals how to use a digital thread to minimize problems and improve efficiency. It explains how digitalization can help you leverage the expertise across your multidisciplinary teams, empowering individual engineers to be more productive and innovative while boosting the productivity of the entire integrated team. We also describe how this innovative approach saves time, lowers costs and improves quality. Finally, we explore how Boeing used Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions to create a digital thread across design, simulation and manufacturing to help accelerate electronic system design.
