 PDF The Digital Thread, Data, and How to Move Beyond Documents Key Takeaways The success of a digital thread in an extended enterprise heavily depends on high-quality, accurate, and consistent data to ensure it can effectively support decision-making, compliance, and operational efficiencies across diverse and dispersed organizational functions through life. Transitioning from reliance on static, document-based data storage to dynamic, structured digital facilitates better data synchronization and accessibility and reduces the risks of data becoming outdated or misaligned with current operational realities, thereby enhancing the integrity of the digital thread. Given the complexity of managing data across extended enterprises, there is a clear need for open data management solutions like ShareAspace that can handle the demands of large-scale, interconnected environments to build robust and effective digital threads based on the Product Lifecycle Support standard (PLCS) ISO 10303-239. Introduction In the modern industrial landscape, the adoption of a “digital thread” represents a transformative approach to managing complex data

3D Systems announced it has achieved a significant milestone in commercializing Oqton Manufacturing OS. This solution is designed to enable on-demand additive manufacturing (AM) in regulated markets by providing full factory-floor workflow integration thus transforming how products are brought to market. Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, is now in full production with Oqton Manufacturing OS in its central manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas. This marks a significant milestone in the commercial software agreement Baker Hughes entered with Oqton, a wholly owned, independently operated subsidiary of 3D Systems, in March 2023 and reinforces the companies’ shared vision to support decentralized manufacturing. The successful implementation of this solution by Baker Hughes demonstrates the Oqton Manufacturing OS’ ability to accelerate the design and production of additively manufactured parts across the entire manufacturing workflow to increase efficiency and facilitate regulatory compliance.  Baker Hughes began using Oqton Manufacturing OS and the Oqton operating system in June 2024 to

Aurigo Software, North America’s leading capital planning and construction management solution provider, announced the introduction of Masterworks Right of Way Pro, a new edition of its widely adopted right of way product, specifically designed for mid-sized teams. This software will enable local and regional agencies to streamline land acquisition processes, improve project outcomes, and maintain compliance across their portfolios. Over the years, Aurigo has delivered robust software solutions that have helped large public sector right of way teams. These tools have historically been tailored to serve agencies responsible for thousands of acquisitions annually and may take months to deploy. Recognizing the need to make these capabilities accessible to the broader market, Aurigo has developed Masterworks Right of Way Pro, designed to bring higher levels of digitization to teams managing fewer than a thousand land acquisitions per year. “We wanted to create a solution that empowers smaller right of way teams to leverage the same

CONTACT Software has added a new application to its PLM module for Requirements Engineering. The ReqXpert helps companies to evaluate all product requirements quickly, easily, and reliably. Customers, legislators, and consumer advocates place high demands on products. In some industries, ensuring safety, quality, functionality, and sustainability is particularly complex. Examples of this can be found in medical technology, mobility, and mechanical engineering sectors. With CONTACT Software’s Requirements Engineering, companies can systematically capture, categorize, and prioritize the vast array of requirements while transparently tracking their implementation throughout the development process. As part of CIM Database PLM, the application allows companies to link requirements, enabling to identify how they interact with mechanical, E/E, and software-based product components. An audit trail automatically records every change and helps to avoid errors as well as costly rework, significantly speeds up product development, and simplifies documentation obligations. CONTACT Software has now added another tool to make requirements management even more

Kubotek Kosmos is proud to announce the upcoming September release of the 2025 versions of the KeyCreator software family. The 2025 version completes the transition of all native CAD file translation capabilities from major 3D CAD programs to be exclusively based on technology from the Kubotek Kosmos 3D Framework. This means KeyCreator 2025 users will connect to product definition data through the uniquely powerful system which Kubotek Kosmos incorporates in all of its other end-user products and provides to other 3D software communities with similar needs. This Kosmos CAD translation system began its commercial use over twelve years ago in the hand-off of precise B-Rep data in STEP and IGES files to the ACIS modeling engine in KeyCreator. The system is now directly reading 3D model and 2D drawing files from Dassault Systems CATIA and SolidWorks, Siemens NX, JT and Solid Edge, and PTC Creo.
