The Digital Thread integrates design, engineering, manufacturing and MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) systems, establishing a seamless flow of information. This type of integration employs data and analytics across the complete product life cycle, optimizing efficiency, from design to manufacturing, operations and maintenance to service in a closed loop.

Gartner’s Market Guide describes iBase-t as a specialist in the complex discrete industrial manufacturing space of aerospace and defense (A&D) manufacturing and maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO).

Pouring millions of dollars into a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that doesn’t guarantee ROI.

Leveraging a framework for the Digital Thread allows you to streamline shop floor and supplier operations with existing machine communication technology. This Industry 4.0 Framework is the answer to controlling and optimizing your Complex Discrete Manufacturing Environment.

Kicking off the first session in MESA’s Smart Manufacturing track at the Manufacturing & Technology Conference, iBase-t lead an interactive presentation explaining the current landscape of Smart Manufacturing, and the barriers businesses face to achieve this type of connected environment.

Much has been talked about regarding the concept of “Smart Manufacturing,” however this concept was in full display at Hannover as much of the integration was complete with data analysis and the digital thread.

The worst part of a software roll-out is documenting what you did. In this process-centric manufacturing world, documentation is something you have to do, your last resort, your anything-but-go-to source.

Your Bill of Materials (BOM) and process plans are fully developed, and now your team of experts are able to get to work, and bring your design to life. Unfortunately, as your project grows, so does the amount of paperwork necessary to get the job done and ensure quality and compliance.

Selecting a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is an intimidating task, especially if it means your reputation is on the line. With impending project proposals and a need to compete in today’s competitive manufacturing industry, your company can’t afford to make the wrong decision.
