ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- The Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) has announced it will host a live webinar on Tuesday, 23 June at 11:00 am EDT to present the findings of its landmark industry research. Titled "The Value Potential of Digital Twins and Digital Threads - Results from Industry Research", the webinar will offer critical insights into the actual maturity, capabilities, and cross-industry applications of current commercial digital twin and digital thread (DTW-DTH) solutions.

While technology providers frequently promise a seamless DTW-DTH ecosystem, organizations building digital strategies for complex engineering environments cannot afford to bet on future roadmaps; they need to know what works today. In light of this, the AD PAG engaged with a group of leading DTW-DTH solution providers. The initiative assessed the capabilities of commercially available software and services through a series of intensive, real-world use-case demonstrations.

Recognizing the massive breadth and varying maturity of the DTW-DTH space, this benchmark inquiry was not focused solely on "measuring how well it is done." Instead, the AD PAG project team structured the initiative around three vital lines of inquiry: How is it done? What is real today? Where is it going?

To evaluate current market realities, the project team drafted a rigorous catalog of use cases before reaching out to solution providers. Participating solution providers were asked to demonstrate existing use cases from their current catalogs that directly aligned with the AD PAG catalog. This deliberate approach focused the evaluation on the strengths of each participating provider's solution. Using their current use-case catalogs also minimized the preparation lead time. The published results provide a definitive, composite profile of capabilities across the current commercial solutions landscape.

By revealing the research results, this webinar will move attendees from uncertainty to an actionable strategy.

Webinar attendees will gain the insights necessary to:

• Develop a Roadmap Blueprint: Learn how to clearly define the objectives, requirements, and deployment roadmaps needed to successfully manage a product's digital representation across its entire lifecycle.
• Learn from Direct Solution Provider Insight: Find out how leading solution providers actually implement digital threads and digital twins today, moving past sales hype to see real-world software execution.
• See Examples of Proven, Real-World Value Metrics: Gain visibility into validated benefits for the PLM ecosystem, including improved data portability, total transparency of PLM events, reduced operational friction, lower operational costs, and enhanced product design safety and efficiency.

According to Dr. Robert J. Rencher, D.M., Senior Systems Engineer and Associate Technical Fellow at Boeing, and also Project Leader of the AD PAG Digital Twin/Digital Thread working group, "This benchmark was a significant, sustained effort from many individuals across multiple organizations, and their contributions made this work possible. The value of this benchmark is not as a conclusive answer, but as a contribution to the ongoing conversation about the readiness of the industry to deliver true Digital Twin and Digital Thread capabilities. We welcome continued dialogue, feedback, and engagement as the industry evolves."
