From electric two-wheelers to air taxis to packaging machines: Three companies are using the latest software to seamlessly link development data. These examples show how a digital thread makes product complexity manageable, improves collaboration, and strengthens the connection between engineering and manufacturing.

Products are becoming more customized, development cycles are getting shorter, and regulatory requirements are becoming more extensive. As a result, the demands on data, processes, and collaboration in engineering are also increasing. A digital thread can serve as a seamless digital connection: It links information from design, simulation, product data management, and manufacturing across the entire product lifecycle.Simple Energy, Sarla Aviation, and Multivac demonstrate just how varied this approach can be in practice. The companies come from different industries and each face their own challenges. What they have in common is the goal of making development data centrally available and better integrating processes.
