The digital thread is an interconnected record that links engineering and design information with real-time operational data across the asset lifecycle, and it plays a different role from the digital twin: the digital twin answers "what is the state now," while the digital thread answers "where did the state come from and what changes did it go through," keeping twin models in sync after asset modifications and avoiding model drift.
