This document discusses the use of digital thread in data analytics to improve search and provide end-to-end visibility across product lifecycles. Digital thread is a communication system that connects manufacturing process elements and provides a complete view of each element throughout the lifecycle. It allows sharing of information across organizations and suppliers. Digital thread brings quality gains by managing large amounts of data and complex supply chains. It helps enterprises quickly redesign products and meet timelines while maintaining visibility of each component's journey. The document proposes using a Neo4j graph database hosted on AWS cloud to implement a digital thread that links product data. This would provide security, performance, and analytics benefits across the overall manufacturing process.
