With the adoption of digital twin, digital thread, and other concepts of connected engineering systems, the fundamental capabilities of PLM are in high demand. Significant interest exists in the extended capabilities of PLM beyond product data management (PDM) and lifecycle state design. With the inclusion of MBSE, Internet of Things (IoT), and emergent technologies, the role of product data relationship management is becoming more critical. The aerospace and defense (A&D) industry is beginning to refer to these expanded constructs as digital engineering. Is this the future of PLM?
