Federated digital thread: Applications, Technology & Products

A federated digital thread, also called an integrated digital thread, is a design method used in modern manufacturing and digital engineering to organize and connect end-to-end data across multiple systems without requiring a single central database. It links data across different tools and organizations while allowing each system to remain independent.
