In today’s complex manufacturing environment, disconnected data is one of the most expensive problems you can have. A design change that doesn’t reach the shop floor. A service issue that can’t be traced back to a specification. A compliance gap no one saw coming.

The digital thread changes that, but building it requires more than good intentions. It requires the right PLM strategy.

In this webinar, we’ll break down what it actually takes to connect design, manufacturing, and service data into a continuous, traceable record across the full product lifecycle. You’ll walk away understanding why digital continuity is no longer optional for complex products, and what practical steps organizations are taking to get there.

What we’ll cover:

• What the digital thread really means, and what it doesn’t.
• How to connect design, manufacturing, and service data through PLM.
• Traceability across the product lifecycle: requirements, components, changes, and decisions.
• Why digital continuity is critical for complex, regulated, or configurable products.
• Common gaps that break the thread, and how to close them.

Who should attend: Engineering, operations, and IT leaders responsible for product data, manufacturing processes, or digital transformation initiatives.
