Developing an A&D Digital Twin/Digital Thread Position – a Lesson in Consensus Building
A Complimentary CIMdata Educational Webinar with Ken Versprille, Ph.D., Executive Consultant, CIMdata
14 September 2023
11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT | 17:00 CET
Have you considered the following relative to digital twin/thread standards?
- Industry standards organizations are defining digital twin/thread standards. Even before establishing standards, the leading PLM solution providers are implementing a tiered digital twin/thread vision.
- These early efforts may overlook gaps in or conflicting with the existing standards meaning that conflicts and oversights would need to be addressed to facilitate the data portability and interoperability required for a successful digital twin/thread system implementation and trusted utilization.
Digital twin/thread standards must, among other things, consider:
- Granular/atomic levels - fundamental artifact definition
- Definition and alignment of data architecture, knowledge graphs similar to the digital thread, and complex digital thread utilization constructs (fabric)
- Digital thread security throughout product lifecycle management
- Modeling of digital thread interoperability
The Aerospace & Defense (A&D) PLM Action Group is moving toward an industry-specific product lifecycle environment based on Digital Twin/Digital Thread concepts. This webinar will consider:
- How CIMdata facilitated the A&D PLM Action Group’s project to develop their position on the Digital Twin/Digital Thread.
- The composition of project leadership and workgroup member SMEs.
- Agreeing on a project plan and schedule.
- The project management efforts needed to gain agreement.
- The ongoing research efforts to move forward on A&D requirements for Digital Twin/Digital Thread.
- How these efforts can help other industries gain a similar consensus.
What will I learn?
- You will learn what a major industry views as the digital twin/thread and how you can take a similar approach in your industry.
- You will learn more about how CIMdata’s administration of the working group helped to gain consensus.
Who should attend?
Product planners and managers, supply chain managers, MCAD team leaders, senior-level MCAD users, product managers, or anyone who wants to learn about how to reach a consensus between an OEM and its supply chain on needed MBD constructs for design capture.
During the webinar you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed.
