Digital thread, also known as digital chain,[1] is defined as “the use of digital tools and representations for design, evaluation, and life cycle management.”.[2] It is a data-driven architecture that links data gathered during a Product lifecycle from all involved and distributed manufacturing systems.[3] This data can come from any part of product's lifecycle, its transportation, or its supply chain.[3] Digital thread "enables the collection, transmission, and sharing of data and information between systems across the product lifecycle" to enable real-time decision making, gather data, and iterate on the product.[3][4]
The term 'digital thread' was first used in the Global Horizons 2013 report by the USAF Global Science and Technology Vision Task Force.[2] Digital thread was further refined in 2018 by Singh and Willcox at MIT in their paper entitled "Engineering with a Digital Thread".[5] In this academic paper the term digital thread is defined as "a data-driven architecture that links together information generated from across the product lifecycle and is envisioned to be the primary or authoritative data and communication platform for a company’s products at any instance of time."[6]
Digital thread enables "data to be integrated into one platform, allowing seamless use of and ease of access to all data".[7]
