(CIMdata: Ann Arbor, MI) -- CIMdata, a global product life cycle management consulting and research firm, has announced a free educational webinar, “The What and Why of Digital Threads and Twins—A Report from the Field.” The one-hour webinar will take place Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 11 a.m. Eastern.

Digital threads and digital twins don’t create product data; instead, they serve as frameworks for interrelating and combining product life cycle data to provide valuable insights about a product and how it’s produced, operated, and serviced. The webinar will explore the limitless possibilities that represent both a challenge and an opportunity.

This webinar will also present early findings from an ongoing research project involving several major industry organizations, including the AD PAG, AIAA, OMG, ProStep iViP, and SAE International. These organizations are developing a set of use cases and working with seven digital-thread and digital-twin solution providers to test and evaluate their implementation and performance.
