Enabling the Digital Thread: Product Data Exchange and Orchestration Across the Enterprise

In this insightful session, our presenters shared how disconnected systems—from ERP to ECM to MES—can slow down engineering change orders, increase scrap, and limit visibility across the enterprise.
You’ll learn:

• The hidden cost of information silos and manual handoffs.

• How to create a true “digital thread” that connects engineering data to the broader enterprise.

• Real-world examples of how our solution (KETIV DataBridge) automates BOMs, files, and change processes by synchronizing systems like Vault, Fusion Manage and more.

• Practical steps you can take now to modernize your processes and improve profitability. Ketiv

Why this matters
In today’s manufacturing and engineering environment, the speed and accuracy of data flow can be the difference between getting to market ahead of your competition or being held back by process inefficiencies. The digital thread empowers your organization to:

• Get the right product data into the right system at the right time

• Reduce re‐keying, errors and scrap

• Give leadership real-time oversight while enabling teams to move faster

• Deliver better outcomes to customers

Watch now & take action
Don’t miss the chance to gain these insights and see how you can apply them in your organization. Whether you’re implementing PLM/PDM, integrating engineering with ERP, or simply trying to eliminate data handoffs and manual overhead - this webinar is for you.

Every company is a technology (and information) company now, and the Digital Thread brings all your data, insights, designs, and processes into one location to find the connections that the raw data would have otherwise hidden. A true digital thread provides the means that future-thinking organizations need to succeed in a world where work will never be the same.

One of the buzz-iest concepts in manufacturing, engineering, and knowledge management today is the “digital thread.” The buzz is justified: organizations that turn the digital thread from an idea into reality unlock widespread opportunities to improve performance at every stage of the product lifecycle, from 15-30% labor productivity increases, 10-20% improvements in the cost-of-quality, and 15-20% reductions in inventory-holding costs (McKinsey) for starters.

Are you ready to see transformative changes in the way your organization finds, analyzes, and acts on its data? Join Martin van de Roest, industry leader and Digital Thread expert, and Nick Scholz, product marketer, to learn:

• Ways the Digital Thread drives innovation, collaboration, and clarity

• The key components of a true digital thread, and the big impacts on your value chain

• How the digital thread has helped world-class groups regain time and crush content chaos

Aras Requirements Engineering (RE): How to Connect it to External Authoring Tools

Connecting requirements to system models, design details, simulations, and tests facilitates a traceable validation and verification process. Requirements Engineering (RE) application enables that as part of a digital thread managed by the Aras industrial low-code platform. This demo shows how to expose externally authored requirements in RE using: ReqIF—an industry standard for exchange of requirements; DOORS—a 3rd party requirements authoring tool; Cameo—a 3rd party MBSE systems modeling tool.
