This course will help you recognize how the "digital thread" is the backbone of the digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) transformation, turning manufacturing processes from paper-based to digital-based. You will have a working understanding of the digital thread – the stream that starts at product concept and continues to accumulate information and data throughout the product’s life cycle – and identify opportunities to leverage it. Gain an understanding of how "the right information, in the right place, at the right time" should flow. This is one of the keys to unlocking the potential of a digital design process. Acknowledging this will enable you to be more involved in a product’s development cycle, and to help a company become more flexible. Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures, readings, discussions and various videos. This is the second course in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology specialization that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth Revolution,” aka Industry 4.0, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established DMD-related professional goal.

It does help to get to know a lot about digital thread but it will be nice if the components are more explain in the videos
SV
Very helpful to understand the vital nature of information in product life cycle.
JC
It was really informative about how digital thread plays and important role in the product life cycle. Got a knowledge base updated. Thank you!
MP
the contents of this course are interesting and new. also the professor explained the concepts in simple language.
AA

Let me start with thanking the faculty and Coursera for breaking down the course in a structured manner. The course was good as a starter pack for anyone who is new to the field and has little or no information technology background. For existing practitioners much of the content would be known, specially topics for Week 2.
I have found publication from CIMdata informative and relevant in the context of Digital Thread and Digital Twin.
This course is all about showing what components are involved in seeing an integrated view of everything about an asset or product throughout its life cycle -- the Digital Thread. You can see the 30,000ft view or look at the nitty-gritty details using the resources the course provides. It's all up to you.
This was one of the most well executed courses that groomed me to grasp the concepts of the components of a digital thread in the Digital Manufacturing scenario. I loved the delivery and the illustrations and the reference material which talked about what actually is happening in the industry right now.
The concepts in this class are also applicable in many other fields and practices. Basically, the course emphasizes the importance of digitizing and quantifying our data and models so that we can make well informed decisions with much better precision than randomly guessing.
thanks for detailed information about digital thread components. It is very helpful for me in the future and this course deals with different components of digital thread and various advantages and disadvantages of the component in the industry
This program is a must for every mechanical engineer and industrial engineer involved in product development and manufacturing in general.
You must take it! It provides great information about Digital Thread Components
Digital thread components took my broad goal into specifics. With the discussions along the way, I was able to took the needs of data sharing, semantic data and interoperability.
Thank for such nice Course
To understand thoroughly how Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the means of production, we must understand the components of this revolution. This course explains a number of them.
Muy completo e interesante para iniciar tus conocimientos en manufacturing 4.0, Creo que un valor añadido sería poder compartir más ideas con profesorado y estudiantes de SUNY.
It was really informative about how digital thread plays and important role in the product life cycle. Got a knowledge base updated. Thank you!
Especially for manufacturers, there are quite useful like TDP, data sharing and framework process for strategic planning.
it is an amazing course for new aspirants to enhance their knowledge in the field of data sharing and data transferring.
Properly Designed Course for any type of learner. Proper video and website examples to understand the concepts of DMD
The course gives a good overview about the digital thread components and supports learning with real life examples
THIS COURSE HAS BEEN AN EYE OPENER IN TERMS OF DATA SHARING AND ITS ADVANTAGES TO ALL INOLVED IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Great opportunity to gain an introductory knowledge for the field of digital manufacturing with its key factors.
