“…A great amount of research emphasizes the DT, a virtual replica of a physical product, or, for example, a manufacturing system [7], as the backbone of Industry 4.0, i.e., its supply chain [2,5,8]. However, for DT implementation, a previous coherent exchange of data among all functional units of the business system is necessary, regardless of the hierarchical structure [9]. Digital 3D modeling, through the stages of vessel development and design, enables the definition of optimal technical-technological solutions in order to achieve lower construction and maintenance costs, i.e., more energy-efficient ship systems as well as their form, and thus, lower exploitation costs [2,10].…”

“…Digital 3D modeling, through the stages of vessel development and design, enables the definition of optimal technical-technological solutions in order to achieve lower construction and maintenance costs, i.e., more energy-efficient ship systems as well as their form, and thus, lower exploitation costs [2,10]. However, although the digital prototype of a ship is developed in parallel with its development, design, and construction [9,10], its degree of integration with the physical entity (from creation to delivery) is assumed to be complete, which distances it from Building Information Modeling (BIM) [11,12] or Digital Shadow concepts [13]. Namely, the daily exchange of data between the virtual and physical entity (communication among client representatives, shipbuilding departments and facilities, and subcontractors) is implied [2], and thus, the continuous implementation of improvements and/or changes-both in the project and construction.…”

The technology of Augmented Reality is taking on an increasingly important role in the digital (and green) transformation of industry, including shipbuilding. Upgraded to the three-dimensional ship model in the form and content of a Digital Twin, (industrial) Augmented Reality contributes to the activities of sale and marketing, development, and design, as well as production and maintenance. Recognizing its leading potential in creating the configuration of Shipyard 4.0, research on the further applicability of Augmented Reality in shipbuilding processes, with an emphasis on outfitting activities, was initiated in collaboration between industry and universities. This paper describes the course of the research, i.e., the development of an Augmented Reality application supportive of the shipbuilding process. The authors emphasize the possibility of achieving savings in shipbuilding project realization by implementing the Augmented Reality application according to the conducted proof of concept, thus contributing to shipbuilding system competitiveness improvement.

“…Two concept papers (Vidal-Balea et al, 2022;Wu et al, 2021a) are related to the production of the whole ship, thus to the digitisation of the shipyard. The paper from (England, 2019) is related to the integration of 3D virtual environment in the production process, while the other two papers present applications of digital twins in the production of marine engines (Hu et al, 2021) and in the specific working of the data exchange system (Jagusch et al, 2021).…”

“…The only papers dealing with effective communication of data between the environments are the ones associated with sensors (Wang et al, 2022b;Rogers and Ebrahimi, 2022;Huang et al, 2022;Jagusch et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2020) or IoT communications (Liu et al, 2021a;Ko et al, 2021). All these papers are not proper examples of technologies specific for ships but are referring to communication systems already available and usable in the industry.…”

PurposeThrough this research study, the authors found that digital thread has made significant progress in the life cycle management of the US Air Force. The authors hope that by reviewing similar studies in the aerospace field, the meaning of digital thread can be summarized and applied to a wider range of fields. In addition, theoretically, the definition of digital twin and digital thread are not unified. The authors hope that the comparison of digital thread and digital twin will better enable scholars to distinguish between the two concepts. Besides, the authors are also looking forward that more people will realize the significance of digital thread and carry out future research.Design/methodology/approachComplete research about digital thread and the relevant concept of the digital twin is conducted. First, by searching in Google Scholar with the keyword “digital thread”, the authors filter results and save literature with high relevance to digital thread. The authors also track these papers’ references for more paper of digital thread and digital twin. After removing the duplicate and low-relevance literature, 72 digital thread-related literature studies are saved and further analyzed from the perspective of time development, application field and research directions.FindingsDigital thread application in industries other than the aviation manufacturing industry is still relatively few, and the research on the application of digital thread in real industrial scenarios is mainly at the stage of framework design and design-side decision optimization. In addition, the digital thread needs a new management mechanism and organizational structure to realize landing. The new management mechanism and the process can adapt to the whole life cycle management process based on the digital thread, manage the data security and data update, and promote the digital thread to play a better effect on the organizational management.Practical implicationsBased on a review of digital thread, future research directions and usage suggestions are given. The fault diagnosis of high-speed train bogie as an example shows the effectiveness of the method and also partially demonstrates the advantages and effects brought by the digital thread connecting the data models at various stages.Originality/valueThis paper first investigates and analyzes the theoretical connotation and research progress of digital thread and gives a complete definition of digital thread from the perspective of the combination of digital thread and digital twins. Next, the research process of digital thread is reviewed, and the application fields, research directions and achievements in recent years are summarized. Finally, taking the fault diagnosis of high-speed train bogie as an example partially demonstrates the advantages and effects brought by the digital thread connecting the data models at various stages.
