The Value Potential of Digital Twins and Digital Threads – Results of Recent Industry Research - a presentation made at PLM Road Map NA 2025
Digital thread and digital twin are inspiring in their simplicity and implied power to render accessible all desired information about a product at any stage of its lifecycle. While there are examples of digital threads and digital twins, the knowledge of what is possible today and how to build digital threads and twins is not well understood. The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) partnered with AIAA, OMG, Prostep iViP, and SAE International and engaged with seven digital twin-digital thread solution providers to address three research objectives: the broad assessment of commercially available solutions, the mutual education and alignment of thought leaders, and the advancement of industry’s understanding of the what, why, and how of digital twin-digital thread investment. This presentation summarizes this groundbreaking effort to engage a wide range of experts in curating their knowledge and making it generally available. The presentation originally made at PLM Road Map Europe 2025 summarizes findings from the recent benchmark study.
