Participants learn how the "digital thread" is the backbone of the digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) transformation, turning manufacturing processes from paper-based to digital-based. The course includes an explanation of the digital thread – the stream that starts at product concept and continues to accumulate information and data throughout the product’s life cycle – and identifies opportunities to leverage it. This is the second of nine courses in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology series that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth Revolution,” commonly known as Industry 4.0.
