What is the Digital Thread?

© 2017 Aras

Relationship Connections

Meaningful relationship connections between all of a product’s digital assets

– and their revisions over the lifecycle – including (but not limited to)

versions of BOMs, parts, software, electronics, CAD models, documents,

requirements, process plans, service manuals, etc


Digital Thread = Meaningful Relationships
