The Digital Thread: How IoT, Remote Monitoring, and Augmented Reality Impact Corporate Performance

The digital thread—a communication framework that connects traditionally siloed elements in manufacturing processes and provides an integrated view of an asset throughout the manufacturing lifecycle—is fueling new process innovations that drive critical business decisions, improve operations, and
boost competitiveness.

This digital journey involves connecting assets and collecting data to generate actionable insights using three key technologies: the Internet of Things (IoT), remote monitoring (RM), and augmented reality (AR). Each contributes to a modern, digital-first organization.
