Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 12 September 2024—The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) announces the publication of a new AD PAG Insight that presents the members’ position on digital engineering.
With the rise of digital twins, digital thread, and connected engineering systems, Product Lifecycle Management’s (PLM) fundamental capabilities are in greater demand. Interest is growing in PLM’s extended functions beyond product data management (PDM) and lifecycle state design. As Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), the Internet of Things (IoT), and new technologies emerge, managing product data relationships becomes increasingly vital. The aerospace and defense industry is starting to refer to these expanded capabilities as digital engineering. Could this be the future of PLM?
In late 2023, executives from companies making up the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group membership chartered a team of thought leaders from member companies to develop a cohesive perspective on the vital connection between digital engineering and PLM. This AD PAG Insight represents the culmination of their collaborative effort, offering a groundbreaking vision for the future of engineering in the aerospace and defense industry and beyond.

About the Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group
Since its founding in 2014, the AD PAG, administered by CIMdata, has sponsored research and jointly staffed projects on a diverse set of prioritized PLM-related industry and technology topics. These topics include Model-Based Definition, Multiple-View Bill of Materials, PLM Technology Obsolescence Management, Global Collaboration, Model-Based Systems Engineering, and Digital Twin/Digital Thread. As an outcome of these investments, the AD PAG has released a series of direction statements, research reports, position papers, and most recently, AD PAG Insights. All are freely available for downloading from its website at http://www.ad-pag.com/. Making these materials available is consistent with the Group’s mission to engage proactively within the PLM ecosystem and advocate for common direction and positions within the aerospace and defense industry on PLM-related topics of importance to the members.
