Digital ThreadWhat’s the reality?

Configuration knowledge (and control) is repeatedly lost and regained through every stage of the product lifecycle

As-Designed

• Engineering changes

As-Planned

• Manufacturing restructuring

• Supplier parts

ERP

As-Built

• Concessions• Serialized parts• Batches/lots

MES

As-Maintained

• Maintenance• Modifications• Repairs

Too hard to fix?

Many initiatives today are focused around regaining short-term control, not fixing the problem

20 years from now we may be in exactly the same situation


What are the causes?

Long lifecycles

Multiple stakeholders with conflicting motivations / contractual obligations

Increasing product complexity

Fragmented systems at every lifecycle stage

Legacy/Cultural tendencies

Technology

Open/Richness of data


Integrated Product Data Environment (IDE/IPDE) as the single source of data

▫ Direct use of engineering and model data within the IDE to support simulation and analysis

▫ Explicit definition of interdependencies among systems / subsystems E.g., Conduit connectivity

And other less tangible design aspects

▫ E.g., Survivability

IDE ~ PLM

We thought we could solve the problemSmart Product Model (SPM)

Creating the Digital Thread


Conclusions

The NSRP study identified the need for and the benefits of an IPDE nearly 10 years ago

Key challenges have been

▫ Spanning the product lifecycle – especially configuration management

▫ Integrating engineering domains (hardware and software)

▫ Availability of an open solution

A proven, open solution is available now


Next Steps

Propose a series of pilots to further develop technology and best practices

Focused on key lifecycle stages and interfaces:

▫ Planning to Construction

▫ Construction

▫ Construction to Service

▫ In-Service

Multi-year effort but lessons learned can be applied quickly

Will require high level of stakeholder sponsorship for viability
