Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Strategy in Digital Twin

At IndiaCADworks, we define a digital twin as a comprehensive, dynamic, and cross-disciplinary virtual representation of a physical asset continuously connected for bi-directional data exchange. This virtual model is generated through the seamless integration and ongoing networking of data from multiple stages of the product lifecycle, encompassing design, manufacturing, operation, and decommissioning phases.

A robust, future-proof product lifecycle management services (PLM) strategy is fundamental to the successful deployment of the digital twin. Without an uninterrupted flow of information across the entire product lifecycle, critical feedback loops—such as the integration of real-time operational data into product development—become unfeasible.

Effective product lifecycle management services (PLM) ensure that this data flow is continuous and transparent, facilitating the optimization of product performance and lifecycle management through the digital twin.
