ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (https://www.cimdata.com/en/aerospace-and-defense) (AD PAG) announces the publication of a new AD PAG Insight that presents the members' position on digital engineering.

With the rise of digital twins, digital thread, and connected engineering systems, Product Lifecycle Management's (PLM) fundamental capabilities are in greater demand. Interest is growing in PLM's extended functions beyond product data management (PDM) and lifecycle state design. As Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), the Internet of Things (IoT), and new technologies emerge, managing product data relationships becomes increasingly vital. The aerospace and defense industry is starting to refer to these expanded capabilities as digital engineering. Could this be the future of PLM?
