Industry desires a digital thread of information that aligns as-designed, as-planned, as-executed, and as-inspected viewpoints. An experiment was conducted to test selected open data standards' ability to integrate the lifecycle stages of engineering design, manufacturing, and quality assurance through a thorough implementation of a small scale model-based enterprise. The research team set out to answer: from design, through production, and final inspections, what are the hurdles that a manufacturer would face during the development of a fully linked and integrated information chain? The research team was not able to fully link all the required information, but value for industry was still identified. This paper presents the results of the experiment, provides guidance on how to overcome or mitigate identified challenges, and discusses the benefits or incentives to be gained from tracing or linking information through multiple stages a product lifecycle.
行业需要一条信息数字主线，将设计、规划、执行和检验的观点统一起来。通过全面实施一个小规模的基于模型的企业，进行了一项实验，以测试选定的开放数据标准整合工程设计、制造和质量保证生命周期阶段的能力。研究团队着手回答：从设计到生产再到最终检验，制造商在开发完全链接和集成的信息链过程中会面临哪些障碍？研究团队未能完全链接所有所需信息，但仍确定了对行业的价值。本文介绍了实验结果，提供了如何克服或减轻已识别挑战的指导，并讨论了在产品生命周期的多个阶段追踪或链接信息可获得的好处或激励措施。
