The importance of digital twin collaboration
A digital twin is a key enabler in driving efficiencies through collaboration as changes in one area of heavy equipment design can have a dramatic effect in other places. Design teams can access the digital definition, ensuring that everyone stays on the same page throughout the development process. Using a PLM solution, teams can either manage these definitions directly or connect to workgroup data managers or other solutions to get a holistic view of the digital twin.
Track and manage digital threads using PLM solutions
During the development process, any changes made in one area of the design must be applied throughout a string of deliverables which also iterate and change over time. Therefore, it is critical to not only communicate any changes across these deliverables but also record those changes over time, offering a historical trail of traceability.
PLM solutions allow organizations to track and manage the digital thread across their engineering teams and functional departments. Contributors can manage their changes with ease and exchange definitions between engineering disciplines.
Improve efficiency and productivity with SaaS PLM solutions
Some cloud-based, software-as-a-service (SaaS) PLM solutions come with built-in best practices, allowing companies to seamlessly adapt a PLM solution to match their needs, practices and standards. This breeds familiarity with users and enhances productivity.
